7th grade me asked teacher "Did they shoot at the drummer boys too?" and without hesitating she says "YES!" I'm sure she's right, but she had a gleeful face which made me think she was happy to answer regardless of its truthfulness.
I mean, in the age of muskets and field cannons they didn't really shoot at anybody in particular since the guns were not very accurate. They probably did try to hit the bagpipe dudes, though.
I've been playing "Over the top: WW1" recently on Steam and this reminded me of it. Playing bagpipes while everyone around you is getting shot and blown up. Love the humour in that game lol
This looks fun!
It does, I just looked it up but it looks like active players has tanked from thousands down to a few hundred a day. One of the big selling points is matches with up to 200 players... If the devs want to save their game they need to either do a give away or a massive 90% off sale.
Oh yeah, I feel like I missed the boat then.
Pipers actually did that. Germans shot one. They regretted their actions.
You can play music when driving cars or motorcycles in BF6, its also very fun.
Same with CoD Cold War, highly recommend. Surviving zombies while jamming to Karma Chameleon..
You reckon any savants came up with a legendary melody from all the emotions mid-battle?
This is basically the plot of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
