If you are thinking about picking up this AMX / M24 Mutant Hybrid Premium, I would highly recommend it! I had a blast.

Could Sweden have withstood a German Blitzkrieg in WW2?

Arguably, Sweden managed to remain "neutral" in WW2. But the Germans did develop a plan to invade them in 1943. So, Peter Cadier has asked - Why wasn't Sweden attacked in WW2? Was it because they were secretly aligned to the Axis? And could the Swedish military have withstood an attack if they had been?

WH40K, Why playing against Aeldari sucks.

 To put it plainly. The Aeldari Harlequins are absolutely brutal on the first turn. If possible build your shooty castles as far back to the left or right corner, keep lots of squishy targets between them and your heavy support shooters. Harlequins do not hold up well against good gun lines so late game play is where you win. This is a six turn competition so grind your army through them to victory.
