On another note this is what I love about holdfast is the proximity, imagine tearing down a fortification to help your team and across the wall you hear someone yell “OY YA DAFT C*NT FECK OFF IT TOOK ME LIKE 5 MINUTES TO BUILD THAT SHITE YA TWAT WAFFLE!!!”
One of my favorite Holdfast memories was when we had a troll of a sapper in our spawn. He was walling us in, micspamming Trump speeches, generally being just-shy of outright irritating. We kept telling him to get out of the way, do something productive, we were losing the game. So he stops building the wall. Builds an explosive barrel. Carries it to the blockhouse we'd been trying to dislodge the Prussians from all game and, blaring the ISIS anthem, runs in and wipes them.
fun fact: trenches in military applications were as used as far back as Roman Sieges, but really picked up in usage during the Late Medieval when Starforts started getting REALLY popular
That’s what the explosive barrels are for! But for real pulling off building close to their spawn would of been fun! Maybe we can all pull it off one day!
@Zoomer Waffen Cossacks are reported to have yelled "Oorah Murat!" when sighting Marshal Joachim Murat during Napoleon's 1812 invasion, as they felt a sense of kindred with a skilled and aggressive cavalry commander. So to some extent the call actually did exist. Also... The waffen SS weren't - and aren't - cool. And neither is insulting someone for a joke on the internet.
Congrats on the sponsor! And this video was hilarious! I liked the new intro style with the commentary, I love how you diversify your stuff! Keep it up, watching the stream was hilarious! 👌
This is literally my wet dream of 17th century warfare come to life. Just holding down a fort through a narrow checkpoint that's extremely heavily fortified and just start blasting over and over and over against a significantly larger army... Oh god, im gonna come.
Haha it was extremely fun and overpowered! Definitely will be doing this tactic with friends and viewers when i next get the chance to stream! Thanks for watching :D
@@Pilps I wish I had a PC to play those types of games, they really do look fun, especially the communities. When I heard that, I immediately thought of the “Go home G.I.!” Trend from Rising Storm 2.
Imagine napoleon getting out a swivel cannon rips off the swivel part and just starts firing grape shots at his enemies, but imagine that but in holdfast nations at war.
Really goes to show the power of segmented defense on a gentle slope. You can over run one or even two lines but the ones behind it will paint every inch you take red before you do.
you forgot about wonderful feature starring glitching into the walls/rocks etc and bulding invisible swivels inside of it, had me almost ban few times lol
of course my dude, I did that several times on almost any map that had a weak spot easy to glitch into. I used infamous boom barrel that placed properly under your avatar were uplifting you into the texture, wonderful times
It's been a long while since I played Holdfast: Nations at War, but I remember using the carpenter class in non-competitive matches as basically an assault trooper; Run into an entreched enemy position and wreck 'em with the blunderbuss in the tight spaces. Good times. Maybe I should play it again and return to the regiment I was in
I love the carpenter as well! I wish the dapper had the blunderbuss because that would be the most op set up, maybe in the next stream we try and hog all the carpenters and sappers for the stream and video idea! Would be OP if we took over a house too!
@@Pilps You'd basically have a team capable of fortifying and booby trapping a house (via palisades, spikes and eplosive barrels) that can also repair the defensive structures and use shotguns for the few enemies who get inside. Nothing short of a cannon is breaching that Rorke's Drift hospital
Honestly I think this is the first time I’ve heard you talk pilps, I’ve seen all your videos and if you spoke a word or 2 in any of them I just didn’t notice but this is something else hearing your voice now
It would've been absolutely mindblowing and absolutely hilarious if you'd gotten the other guys to play Iron Warriors and re-ennact the "Imperial Fists vs Iron Warriors" sketch from The Grape Lord of Terra
The better question might be: "What happens when you took Holdfast: Nations at War strategy and implement them into other games?" *British Anthem Intensifies*
Imperial fists are siege experts, the only reason they would fortify if there's no way to attack the enemy, while Iron warriors are siege breakers and fortify the shit out of their position.
Got your legions backward there pal. Fists are fortification experts and also fantastic at assaulting fortification, Iron Warriors are Siege assault experts. It's why the rivalry was so strong, but tipped in the direction of the Fists for fortification.
@@brothercaptainaurelian1386 please check comment above, I didn't get my legions wrong. Edit: if I did please correct me with proof provided from books as I did.
Ron Swanson would absolutely be a sapper. he would build a wooden fortress while the battle is going on and be standing on the walls watching everyone around him get fucking slaughtered by punji sticks that he just so happened to have laid when he was 6

What a legend!
Lmao I thought it was Tokyo Rose
Now that’s soldiering!
You turned it into Cadia.
Every inch is a fortification, every house a choke point, every hill a gun emplacement.
IF SUCH IS THE EMPERORS WILL!!
This looks more like the siege of Vraks xD
A good defense can be also confused by an offensive if you have the range on your side
That’s what the explosive barrels are for! But for real pulling off building close to their spawn would of been fun! Maybe we can all pull it off one day!
