An idea for UEBS, the battle of Hope from World War Z (fantastic book). About 400 US army men, in a 2 row thick square formation (colonial style), with very high damage and accuracy but limited range (enough to kill each zombie in 1 shot) and a fire rate of about 1 shot per second (like a really efficient semi-automatic rifle), with 10,000's of zombies coming in from every direction (100,000 should be manageable). This would be particularly interesting to see due to the fact that in the book, the zombies actually did start piling up forming (as the book says) and undead fortification. I've always wanted to see this battle come to life as well as the book did and I hope you look into the WWZ universe more for other interesting ideas (the second book, the zombie survival guide, even has some accounts of romans vs zombies, which would be epic to see).
I love this channel, very impressed with the periodic lesson and spot on knowledge of history! never once subscribed to a channel because I was too lazy to fill out the account registration but I gotta say man, worth it lol. keep up the kick-ass videos!
The Saguaro Cactus would make this Arizona, The only battle in Arizona was at Picacho Peak, Which is about 50 miles from Tucson Arizona. It makes sense because it's at a mountain, but it could not be Texas.
To arms in Dixie! Like my father before me, I will work the land. Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave.
diplex you know the german superfortress. you should do the americans defending against a german counter attack to take the fortress back. like if you agree
How about this one from Guy Sajer's /memoir/novel(?) 'The Forgetten Soldier, about his time in the Grossdeutschland Division in Russia. At one point in the book his machinegun platoon was dug in on the Ukrainian steppes when the Soviets hurl several hundred thousand Siberian reinforcements at the Germans. As Sajer described it, it was a line of Russians from one horizon to the next, chanting & cheering 'Hurrah!' and charging at them with Nagants with fixed bayonets and PPSH submachineguns;
I find that the confederates having so much ammo on them unrealistic... one of the major things that the south lacked was manufacturing of ammo and also the ability to send ammunition to the front lines or anywhere else. At the time, the union had successfully disabled their supply lines and previously when the union had control over the south, they had very much prevented the south from growing. Granted some of the officials in the south were guilty of this as well, but the south was dirt poor and i mean dirt poor and the north was just making tons of money off of the south which was one of the reasons for the south leaving the united states. Of course that didn't mean they would have been better off away from the US, actually many of the politicians and public officials of the south thought it would be a bad idea to leave because they needed the north financially in order to survive. However they decided to leave anyway because they were afraid of the civilians boycotting in a very violent way. Anyway... those confederates have way too much ammunition!
I understand that you aren't American, and I don't at all expect you to know our history, so I want to stress that i am not criticizing, merely sharing information that many people may not know. Arizona did not become a state until 1912, long after the Civil War had ended. And while Texas had sided with the Confederacy, it was more of a lesser of two evils for them. They very much wanted to be the independent Republic of Texas once again, and knew they could not leave the Union on their own. They joined the Confederacy on the hopes that should the Confederacy win, Texas would then be able to split off and hold their own against the battleworn CSA.
You should've put like a civilian Farmer or something with the double barrel shotgun at the ranch. I'm in American who actually knows my history to some extent. And I think it would be very neat to see him join the southern soldiers in fighting off the Yankees
Yeah, more Diplex, is great and very epic you know, maybe mission ? So you can control the unit, cause i rather like you control it on mission or campaign some sort
Hey Diplex, I'm a Filipino fan and I absolutely love your videos. Would you mind doing the most recent siege of Marawi City when the actual operation is done?
Imagine if the Civil War had the same type of guns as in World War One. Not like tanks or heavy artillery, but magazine-loaded guns. Maybe Lee Einfields or something like that
does MoW give u the ability to have African American troops because it's be dope if u could do the battle of James Island and the battle where i think Robert lead a regiment of them into a conf. fortress and yet they lost but did a good damage to the conf. id definitely like to see that if u could do it
I wish they would make official Men of War: era of bayonet game that would have proper line infantry squad controls and bayonet charges, flag bearers, musicians etc.
one rabbit says to the other "do we make a run for it or wait here and out number them?". the other rabbit looks at the other rabbit and says "we're going to make a run for it. we're brothers you idiot! " LAWL
4:03 classic diplex 😂😂

"I won't be controlling any of the units, only to forward the battle." *Fires and charges all of the union soldiers.*
And I'm just here waiting for the Post-Apocalyiptic series
we all are
Who isn't? Though these videos are still entertaining.
Bulzome 66 yes agreed but I like more organized stuff not just random battles here and there
I would watch that
You should do a super fortress battle with civil war troops
Yes
I once was a fan
But now I'm a wind turbine
@Lolmic Lol Well that blows...
@Lolmic Lol Well that blows...
Patrick Alegre thank you person who hates on people comments and videos just saying 🖕
Lolmic Lol strongly agree
Lol
I love this channel, very impressed with the periodic lesson and spot on knowledge of history! never once subscribed to a channel because I was too lazy to fill out the account registration but I gotta say man, worth it lol. keep up the kick-ass videos!
Diplex could you do something like the battle of Rorke's drift or Isandlwana?
Like if you want to see this 👍
Good idea,Crosby
There is a game called 'Zulu response' which is really cool and focuses on that era.
Alex Crosby he already has done those
Hurlumhura wow mean whats your problem with swedish people
Sverige lugter.
18:32 "CANT TALK NOW IM IN A WAR!"
Love the men with the flags just standing alone, impervious to the advancing rebels. Example at 6:19
He was the bravest 😢
there was a battle in picacho peak,AZ
you can still find cannon balls and musket balls from skirmish battle
Love the raids like this keep it up 🙂
Deplixes mined during the battle. Rabbit 🐰 rabbit 🐰 rabbit 🐰
Bobby 29 yea
The Saguaro Cactus would make this Arizona, The only battle in Arizona was at Picacho Peak, Which is about 50 miles from Tucson Arizona. It makes sense because it's at a mountain, but it could not be Texas.
Ben Falter But Arizona wasn't a state yet
The confederates wanted to expand their border west so they sent around 150 confederate rangers to Tucson Arizona.
I love how the thing he's finding most important about the battle is the damn rabbits running around! XD : )
love the video man, keep it up!
They say that rabbit has been in every single war and battle
I was just about to say "Damn this looks straight out of Red Dead Redemption," and you beat me to it.
I love it when you do old wars
I enjoy it when you take control of units
The cactus company was an amazing addition
That bannerman at 6:19 is a flippin heroe
I WISH I WAS IN DIXIE HOORAY HOORAY
We miss you!😁
Epic vid btw👍👍
EVERY one is getting killed left and right
"Huh that's a cute rabbit"
The souls of the gunners were reborn in the rabbits
would love to see more clone war era vids, those are always awesome!
Thats the coolest set up for sandbags ive seen that isnt major stacks or anything. 6:40
Diplex your my fav TH-cam er your awesome and ur vids are amazing keep up the good work😀😀😀
To arms in Dixie! Like my father before me, I will work the land. Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave.
I yelled fire right before the battle started. Talk about timing!
hey diplex I was learning about the civil war and was wondering if you could do the battle of Fredericksburg and add the Irish brigade
galacticwander gamez watch gods and generals
I admit it. I laughed when there were 2 rabbits by the gun.
i love the civil war mod keep doing it
Diplex - "It's really nice to be able to control the enemy"
As he is controlling the Union soldiers...
4:06
What were those noises?! I laughed so hard.
diplex you know the german superfortress. you should do the americans defending against a german counter attack to take the fortress back.
like if you agree
If you take a screenshot at the right moment it looks like the Confederates are desperately trying to hold off an unstoppable bunny.
Would love to see more civil war videos
the rabbit was the best thing :D
You should do a major siege like Petersburg or Vicksburg. That'd be rad
With the magic of editing.......... Wait never mind he left it in.
YYYYEEEESSS PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS !!!!!!
"Hey he's having a smoke... he's got his weapon shouldered. Hm... maybe he's an NCO of some kind" - The US Army in a nutshell
love it love your vids man
The western most battle wasn’t in Tucson it was in yavapai county, way north in the forested mountains but still in Arizona
thumbs up for the rabbit. lol

Simply awesome!

bro why did you only give reinforcements to the union?
And Diplex one more thing I'm southern so I'm a confederate boy and I'm glad you helped both sides
great video do more civil war videos csa attack a union fort
Diplex, can you do a video on the massively historically significant siege of Khartoun
You should've put like a civilian Farmer or something with the double barrel shotgun at the ranch. I'm in American who actually knows my history to some extent. And I think it would be very neat to see him join the southern soldiers in fighting off the Yankees
Yeah, more Diplex, is great and very epic you know, maybe mission ? So you can control the unit, cause i rather like you control it on mission or campaign some sort
You should get a mapper to do Antietam, Fredricksburg, and Gettysburg that would be awesome
Looks like rileys charge. That abandoned civil war encampment from red dead redemption. I mean it looks like this was modeled after it.
Diplex, it's called the Puckle Gun.
Ur videos are awesome
love it mate!!
Hey Diplex, I'm a Filipino fan and I absolutely love your videos. Would you mind doing the most recent siege of Marawi City when the actual operation is done?
kamusta pre no1 ako nyan hehehe
Western civil war is very cool and few even know about it. The eastern part of the war was reported more
im sure this was the battle my 4 ancestors who were in the CA, died in
Well this is a nice change. You think you could do a battle for a city.???
Can you do civil war draft riots like the one in New York City
Diplex keep up the good work bro watch your videos every time and I love em
you should do The Alamo
please more this is so epic
Battle starts roughly around 1:45
fun fact, during the Civil War, the entire western US and part of Texas was once Mexico
Can you do the battle of bull run, I can't remember if he has and if you have do the siege of Vicksburg
Hi Diplex, I heard you were joining the Military? Is that the US Military and if so what Branch?
Yes make more please 🙏🏻
Funny to see during a civil That soldiers just march instead of battle
can't wait for wasteland 2
do more things like this, where you are the confederates
Imagine if the Civil War had the same type of guns as in World War One. Not like tanks or heavy artillery, but magazine-loaded guns. Maybe Lee Einfields or something like that
Well, the Henry Rifle was a lever action rifle with a tubular magazine.
assets.henryusa.com/uploads/rifles/Henry-Original-Deluxe-Rifle2nd-large.jpg
Did u make this or did it come with the mod
does MoW give u the ability to have African American troops because it's be dope if u could do the battle of James Island and the battle where i think Robert lead a regiment of them into a conf. fortress and yet they lost but did a good damage to the conf. id definitely like to see that if u could do it
nice video good job
When he zoomed out it became apparent to me that this map i based off of tumbleweed and rileys charge from red dead redemption.
"At the double quick..." ??? "By the center, quick march" that is the real command*
I would like to see more.
that gives me an idea do a concentration camp defense
Diplex do the Kokoda trail involving Australians and the Japanese
when his phone started ringing i tought it was my phone XD
Question: How much does men of war cost?? I'd love to try this because i love one of the best rts youtuber(You)
Cool Vids! try 2 get more close ups plz!
Could you do a multi part story with this mod like you did with the Wasteland series?
no rock hugger allowed
Was it possible to attack the camp by the south? 🤔
I wish they would make official Men of War: era of bayonet game that would have proper line infantry squad controls and bayonet charges, flag bearers, musicians etc.
that was cool battle.
We were your brothers!
if we were being accurate here the Union would be mostly repeating rifles at the end of the war and there wouldn't be any gatlings on either side
Diplex if you haven't already could you do a battle of Bullrun,Antietam,or Gettysburg
Hey man, how the hell do you access the map editor? I have both of the games and I am unable to find it
Not giving up
Do Maginot line
Use Schwerer Gustav
Play as Germans
Attack the Maginot line with the Schwerer Gustav.
Cool videos
