I've always loved it. Darker themes, and the Rose rebellion march is a banger.

VI, IX and II. VIII I like but is a hot mess

Yeah, in the 2nd/3rd century.

But as many scholars have noted, the Gospel of John is more in line with mystic (not necessarily gnostic since most of these sects did not assume a demiurge) sects of the time than the more "grounded" synoptic gospels.

The difference is John's followers were not obviously contradictory to Pauline Christianity and were cross pollinating by the late 1st century

It's possible, but they've already sent 10-15000 troops into this, and I think they at most have 45k reserves. Sure, they could pull off 1-2 other offensives if they didn't worry about logistics but then they'd have nothing elsewhere and the Pokrovsk flank is increasingly fragmented.

Are they really willing to sacrifice their entire southern flank to maybe besiege Kursk?

I'm not talking about adventurism, I'm talking about survival in place.

Even if you stay still, in a room, posting, the system still needs to use a small amount of resources to oppress you.

Those resources are not being used on others. A thousand people who simply refuse to die can screen the acts of a dozen professional revolutionaries, and strain the system even more.

I get that its miserable, and may never end, and I do everything I can to make people's lives better, but ultimately its not about us, it's about "The Cause". And we have a duty to humanity to do what we can, even if that's just exist.

The exact opposite effect to standing out the command hatch.

Everyone: "what a commanding figure they pose, nobly astride their steel horse of war, a modern knight!"

You: "what a fucking idiot i am in the do nothing chair standing around as the tallest thing in 5km in any direction, saying "please mr sniper, the officer is right here!"

I think it's more the Byzantine Empire which held it a fair bit longer.
