Kill Team Melee Tactics Explained

Welcome back to Beeranid 40k, after a few of you asked about my charging and melee tactics for Kill Team that I used at the Las Vegas Open, I decided to try a new style of video to not only show what I was talking about but share more tactics, tips and tricks for kill team melee in general. Whether you play Genestealer Cults, Orks, Tyranids or Chaos Cultist Spam I think there is something here for you and I hope you enjoy.

As always don't forget to like and subscribe, and please be sure to let me know if you like this style of video -- if you guys like Kill Team videos on an actual board I can do this more often. So leave a comment below and let me know. Thank you for watching, I know there are many great Warhammer 40,000 channels you could be watching instead, so I just wanted to say "Thanks" for deciding to come here to this one.

The Islamic Golden Age and The House of Wisdom DOCUMENTARY

history documentary we cover the Islamic Golden Age and the House of Wisdom. The video begins by tracing the life of Muhammad and the rise of the early Islamic Empire under the Rashidun Caliphate. We then follow its charge out into the wider world in wars against both the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire. Following this clash, the Umayyad Caliphate pushes the borders of the empire yet further east into India and west into Spain. This period saw the very beginning of change with the start of the translation movement. However it would be the rise of the succeeding Abbasids and the founding of Baghdad which truly kicked off the Islamic Golden Age.

At this point our history documentary focuses on the emergence of the House of Wisdom. What it was, who worked there, and what they accomplished. Finally we conclude with the fall of Baghdad and the tragic end of the Islamic Golden Age. Stay tuned for more medieval history!

This video was hosted by Al Muqaddimah

Merkava - Tank History and Review

The Merkava has been the main battle tank for Israel's Defense Forces since 1979. Though originally lacking in mobility and sheer armor protection, the Merkava has a unique design that greatly enhances the survivability of its crew. In this video, I talk about the events leading up to the Merkava's development, how it was designed, the problems in encountered, and what my overall opinion on it is.

Stock vs. spaded is the largest issue for me in the game. It is time to have a look at some solutions.

Abandoned - S.S America

In 1940, a stunning and iconic vessel was launched called the S.S America. A ship of pride for the United States and after a long career in her golden years, the vessel ended up in a state of limbo for a while. She was left abandoned floating aimlessly until she was bought out and renamed to the SS American Star. Fate had saved her... or did it?

USS Bergall vs IJN Myōkō and Ushio

In December 1944, a US submarine stumbled upon a Japanese heavy cruiser. The brief battle resulted in epic journeys for both. The History Guy recalls an event where the story was as much in what happened after the battle as it was in the battle itself.

Why upgrade Tanks

Tanks are expensive and complex. Upgrading a armored fighting vehicle is not as simple as some may think and choosing what makes most sense either in terms of cost or functionality is crucial for successful tanks.

But why don't we just buy new tank designs and why is it so much more appealing to just stick some upgrades on the vehicle or retrofit it to a more modern or sophisticated platform?

After all there is so much technological advancements in military hardware and upgrade packages now that it would be simple to slap some new stuff on a older chassis.

But, is it that simple?

Hope you enjoy!!

The Viking Attack on London Bridge

Eleventh century England faced repeated raids and invasions by Danes. As a tribute to the shifting alliances of the day, in 1014 a future King of Norway helped English king Ethelred regain his throne from invading Danes by pulling down London Bridge. The History Guy recalls a dramatic tale in the long history of a bridge that has connected people and history for over two millennia. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

War Thunder - M901 "WALL-E Does It All!"

time to unlock, upgrade and let Wall-E do his thing. I wasn't sure if this vehicle and my gameplay style would mesh... but after an evening of playing with it, I am pretty impressed. I mean it's hard not to be with anything that has TOW Missles for eyes.

Battlestorm Stalingrad S3/E9 - FIRESTORM

Paulus's 6th Army crosses the Don river, Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen's Luftflotte 4 launches a devastating air attack on the city of Stalingrad itself. Soviet civilians were caught in a firestorm that was, perhaps, Stalin's doing (we debate this today!).

If you like Stalingrad, you may also enjoy historian Anton Joly's YouTube channel "Stalingrad Battle Data". Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIk1...

The detailed maps in this video were made by Graphic Designer Terri Young. (And, in this case, she also did some of the narration.) If you'd like a logo creating, or a new YouTube avatar, you can contact her on her website: https://www.terriyoungdesigns.co.uk/

French M4A3 (105) Sherman - War Thunder Gameplay

The French tank tree received a few new tanks in patch 1.97. Among them is the M4A3 (105) Sherman, basically a copy and paste from the American tree. I managed to unlock the HEAT shell in the match prior to this one in the video. The HEAT shell makes all the difference in the world for the "105 Sherman".

The Air Transport Command

The Air Transport Command played a vital role in the US war effort of World War II, yet their service is nearly forgotten. The History Guy remembers the compelling story of military and civilian men and women who ferried planes and supplies from across the US to remote places all over the world. It is history that deserves to be remembered.
