So I keep seeing two depictions of vikings, one is fearsome top tier warriors who ran about stealing and taking from whoever, another is annoying vagabonds who basically just stole from unprotected areas of your kingdom, so you pay them off because you'd rather not spend the time or effort to deal with them. Where on this scale are they, or are both wrong and are something different?

Is there a before WW2 example of current day nazi military dorks? Or is Germany a weird case where the military that lost horribly gets lionized.

So how did the Brits handle the logistics of putting horse cavalry on to the continent during the Napoleonic wars? If horses are that resource intensive shipping them had to be the biggest pain in the rear end.

Does Europe have an unexploded ordinance problem? I was reading how there are tracts of land in France that are just fenced off because of unexploded Ww1 ordinance or does the topography of France have a unique structure which allowed for more ordinance to have not detonate?

How did days long bombardments work? You just cycle through crews on a artillery piece day and night and just fire as much ordinance into an area as fast as you can for a few days or do you have a set number of pieces firing x amount of ordinance every hour for y amount of hours?

How does a force like isil maintain any sort of armored presence? Don't MBTs require a crap ton of specialized maintenance and resources or they kinda just fall apart?

There where some matchups that where really dumb because one side would get a weapon and the other side would pick a nonlethal or extremely situational weapon. The fights where really cool and decently choreographed though especially the modern ones where it was five vs five, other than that the show was really bad.

Was there any particular reason why armies in Ww2 didnt just give everyone SMGs besides just production ability? Is the extra few hundred meters of effective range worth more than the ability to lay lots of fire down into an area albeit in accurately when the primary tactic seems to be pin a target down with lots of fire behind cover and maneuver your guys around them?

Are there any cases of using mines offensively to ruin an enemy port by making traffic in and out absurdly dangerous? I assume it'd be really hard to do unless you have naval supremacy just because if you didn't have a navy baby sitting it you could just send out mine sweepers to try and clear a channel.

When do Chariots stop being a thing in warfare and why would you have chariots instead of horse cavalry if they exist at the same point.

Was lend lease gear ever refused for being too bad, too resource intensive, or stuff like that, or was it pretty much give it to us and we'll see that it kills Nazis somehow?
