  1. Ukrainians pulled (over?) 21 combat battalions off the line due losses, have only 60 vs 108 Russian combat battalions as a 6/26. Their situation must be worse on 7/8 due to the strategic defeat. After yesterday's firestorm, Wagner PMC and LRP militias advanced into the Bakmut axis.

    (98) Witcher 3 Complete Walkthrough Part 25 All quests Death March (all side quests + commentary) - YouTube The beggars of Novigrad, one of my favorite sequences. There is also a second Poison pill CDPR placed against Triss Blood and Wine is deeply related to the final novels and also Arthurian myths. The first thing Duchess Anna brings up is Dandelion- this is directly from the end of the novels. The 4 stoic virtues are wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation. Toussiant knights: Honor, wisdom, courage, generosity, compassion A big issue though with Blood and Wine is that Ciri, Triss, and Yenn are missing. It would have really completed a great DLC.

  6. A rather interesting drama has popped up, with the US, British MOD, and Ukr having different public announcements/views/propaganda about where the Russians will launch a breakthrough next. This is in-line with Russian deception doctrine, as they like to confuse their enemies, just like they did with the Popasna breakout. 7/7 weird Russian MOD announcement. This is either deception or a legit announcement. If it is legit than it is a bombshell, as the 79th Airborne brigade holds an extended front northwest of the Sivesk defense line. A breakthrough in this sector would allow the Russians to roll up the flanks of the defense line and force a mass retreat westwards. The 79th brigade is an elite unit and has taken enormous losses. To the west is the 503rd Marine Brigade. This unit has also taken enormous losses. It was destroyed at Mariupol and the survivors/convalescent wounded regrouped and reestablished the formation with reinforcements. There is no way these two elite units are anywhere as good as they used to be, probably only a thin strip of professionals with the bulk of the new meat being reservists. 24th Brigade holds the line south, around Soledar. So this announcement is claiming conditions for a pincer attack. "As a result of strikes with high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces on the combat positions of Ukrainian troops in the Soledar direction, the total losses of the 24th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine already number about 2.5 thousand people, which is 60 percent of its number. The 79th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was almost completely destroyed - its losses exceeded 80 percent of the number of personnel."

    I like the final scene of the season. They completely changed Black Noir arc. I liked the one in the comics a lot more. Also Maeve is way too overpowered. In the comics she is nothing compared to Homelander.

  10. NASA fire information: Fire Map - NASA | LANCE | FIRMS The bulk of Russian fires appear to be from the East (Siversk axis) and Southeast (Bakhmut Axis) over the past 24 hrs. Not so much from the North despite yesterday's activity there.

  19. IISS (2021) Ukraine: ARTILLERY 1,818 (of these SP 607+. MRL 354. TOWED 515+. MOR 120mm 340) Minus heavy mortars it is 1,478 guns/MLRS Remaining Ukrainian artillery forces: 6/12- 600 guns, 200 MLRS. If I recall the Ukr land forces logistics General gave in the region of 700 artillery pieces left around this time. Last time I checked NATO/former Warsaw pact countries gave Ukraine 600 more so it should be at 2100. So Ukr losses are 1,400 Guns/MLRS as of June 2022 Russian MOD kill claim for the war up to 7/6: artillery pieces plus mortars: 720 combat vehicles of the multiple launch rocket system, 3096 field artillery guns and mortars This makes things complicated as the Russians, just like in WW2 merge guns and mortars together. Usually mortars far outnumber guns by many times. The Russian MLRS claim seems to be too high. The claimed losses of Ukr guns and mortars seems more realistic though.

    Finished Hearts of Stone for a second time. It is a masterfully crafted story and a high quality expansion with great artwork. Really well written and with many different & interesting set pieces & characters. However the main story has really long cutscenes, feels more like an interactive movie at times. I enjoyed Dead Man's Party the most. Velen also expands eastward, with more side content inside of it. In a way it reminds me of the final Witcher novel in its structure. It has a main quest and a diverse series of side quests that support the main one. The final trek with Shani is similar to what happens in the novels. Geralt's relationship with her is bittersweet, just like in real life. Master Mirror's comments about Ciri make it definitive that the Ciri Witcher ending is cannon.
