@Chef Chaudard
Thank you Sorry, I missed your comment.
For the losses curves, it could probably be done, it depends on the data available, I would have to check but will put it on the check list and will do what I can when I get a chance
For merging the OOB's of both sides, I know it could be done but it's not so easy sadly.

Thanks really appreciated!

"Corps" in the military sense is originally a French word, and it is the same word they use to refer to the body of a person or animal (living or dead). The Napoleonic armies first used the word in the contemporary sense, of a military unit subordinate to an army that had all the different components of the ground forces. Napoleonic terminology got into American usage through the works of Jomini, a military theorist who had served on Napoleon's staff; the term was introduced in the US during our Civil War. Because the concept and term were adopted into English directly from French, the military sense has kept the French pronunciation, while we have added a final "e" and pronounced the word in the English style with all the consonants to refer to the body of a dead person (or animal).

Originally a Latin word, corpus a body, in French it is singular, the body.

Although the French Ballon Corps de Army existed before that, and so did Garde de Corps formations before Napoelon was born, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4Ch ... ed&f=false

US Corps and Eng and US Marine Corps existed before the WBTS, both created before Jomni was born.

USA went to war with Mexico using a Corps system, see https://history.army.mil/html/books/073 ... b_73-3.pdf

beware of thinking what you read on wiki is accurate.

For the intro, at first I had chosen a song named "Russian Winter" by swiss band Krokus, but Youtube didn't like it and it bugged me even if I could still use it. What I choose instead is a very old band of mine, so the music is 100% my own and I like the fury in the guitar solo. I think it fits really well with the Stukas diving and the T-34's. But of course that is all a matter of taste, I have strong heavy metal roots as my avatar suggests.

The music in the end is an old Soviet WWII song that I like, it talks about tanks rumbling in the fields and dying young tank commanders with blood on their heads. So I think it relates.

But I know it won't be to everyones liking, and whatever I would have choosen would have been the same. Bottom line, I think the music represents me well. It's my channel after all.

The most important thing to me is the content, which I hope will help people as much as I was helped by material that those before me created, including your AARs

Congrats on a very helpful channel for new comers to the game!.

By law youtube has to run a software check for copyright infringement, and block access, so when you upload, you will see one copyright infringement, and thats ok, as its from the WiTE game itself, to many and your video will be blocked by youtube.

it seems that I had a great success with my "corpse" blooper! At least it has created some discussion

BTW, my native language is french. [:D]

@Hanny Thanks for the good comments, much appreciated [:)] Sadly, I didn't have time to do others yet, but I have some ideas.

For the song copyrights, Youtube only blocked the possibility of adding adds, which I didn't really care about, but I didn't want to see that warning everytime I open the video management page so I decided to change it. No copyright warning from WitE at all.
