Excellent and interesting video which gave many examples I had not heard.
Incidently the first land battle of the ACW (arguably) is Philippi (Virginia) which is frequently mispronounced.

Aluminum may be the exception that proves the rule.   

Remember it was East Virginia that you recently visited, 'cause they lost!

Krzyzanowski?  Now I would have liked to hear him have a go at that!

Schizz-a-novski ?

Another reason why East Virginia lost .... 

Some good images of interwar Greek kit (before the Metaxas dictatorship reforms). An interesting what if would be a Greek Civil War in 1935-1936 if the Venizelists had not botched badly their attempt to win over greek Macedonia. Kondylis (with probably the A and B Corps)  vs. Plastiras (with C and D corps) along the Vardar/Axios river.



the later royalist coup by Kondylis (winner of the 1935 contest)



Also some images of kit in 1926

Fixed!

Watched with interest, thanks.
By analogy a matchlock should actually be termed a "fusil" while a flintlock should be a "fuzil, which means "fusiliers" are actually "fuziliers"!


I shall now press on KT's vids.

I also liked KT's three videos. The inter-war is a fascinating period world-wide.

In the last video, the English language slide labeled the Evzones as "crack highland infantry" which seems a useful explanation for a general audience. Also, about half way through, there is an actual horse wreck!

The narration in the second vid was French, but was that Greek in the first one?   

Terrain building has changed a bit in 60 years, as has wargamers' sartorial standards.

hahaha! As for the horse wreck, Greeks whether ancient or modern have never been a horse-people. :p

Another one is "route." The word "route" is French for road and pronounced "root." However, nowadays, I've noticed that Americans say "rowt."  They didn't used to say "rowt" - they said "root" like the rest of us (e.g., see Chuck Berry below). "Rowt" is when your men run away (rout). What's going on, America?

I'm in Oklahoma, 66 runs through the state capital and I've been on it several times.

We say "Root" 66, but when used apart from 66, its "Rowt" as in Postal Route

I've done a few road miles in the States and I've driven Route 66.

Every American I spoke to about 'root 66' did not correct me on my pronunciation.

We have Postal Routes in the UK as well but they are pronounced as you would expect.

I don't know any American Posties so can't process that any further.

No point trying to correct them as they probably won't listen anyway. Just smile.

We feel the same about your pronunciation of "Aluminum", "Basil", and "Bucket"

It's OK. There's a small bar in the bore to stop it being fired. 





I do enjoy the Chieftain

Thanks for the videos on the B1 fsn good stuff!!

explains a lot about why the French Army ended up with such a vehicle. I'll look out for Cheiftains other "inside the hatch" vids.

Wonder if Mrs Shy would let me visit Saumar if we ever get to France again - After my last visit to Bovington I think I would have to take her to Paris for a week first 

 

The Chieftain has done a speed trip around Samur.

Fascinating to see some real black powder gun recoil on full charge for a change and getting some insight into how the incoming rounds sound when you are at the receiving end. Not so sure all the rounds are explosive as the title suggests plus, if you look closely, you will see there are definitely two types of gun used in this demo.
