Here’s a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

    guard is great you get to be like those historically incorrect descriptions of the Soviet Union, sending unarmed masses to soak up the bullets with their cheap bodies while your commissars shoot everyone who even thinks of running away. Great fun.

      I love that the Catachan have an officer fragging mechanic

      For non 40K-Knowers, the Catachan are a Guard subfaction very obviously styled after US troops in Vietnam. If your army includes any commissars, you have to roll a die during deployment to see if they even make it to the battlefield. The rule is called Oops, sorry sir!

      Your Commisars can execute their own troops for in game bonuses. They have awesome tanks. There are penal battalions. It’s like if Enemy at the Gates wasn’t just American propaganda.
