Company Challenge: Where to next? is out for Patrons
Added 2025-07-25 08:06:33 +0000 UTCFun fact: the title in the thumbnail is different because the font I use for the thumbs doesn't actually support question marks.
Anyway, this one is a bit of a ramble about around things to think about the Company Challenge and where to go next, accompanied by some footage of mounted panzergrenadiers taking a punt at La Grande Hameau. Sadly, I only played about 25 minutes to get the video I needed and they didn't complete, but given that the Panzergrens have twice as many MGs at squad level, all have haltracks and are backed up by their own organic mortars and Stummels I don't think it takes a genius to figure out how it ends!
Moving on from the Company Challenge, I think it's probably gotten a bit stale for everyone: in the grand scheme of things there should be a War Room episode up next, but I think I'm going to push that back a week and slot in a straight-up modern AAR to get the corpuscles going again.
In the meantime, it's actually the end of July last week, so I should really get stuck into a Bonus video for the Supertruppen...
Always interesting when work seems to ramp up from 0-100 in a couple of days!

I like the idea of the tasks, a bit like your mobility testing ground. I.e If we were still going to do WWII how many Italians pixeltripon does it take to do what a bazooka can. I do really like the idea of doing all these tests. And you’re right when you say not many people would do it. So thanks for all this
