Video Updates: Vietnam, Narvik and More
🕑 Added 2023-10-06 12:02:17 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Hope you are all keeping well. Today will see the public release of the second episode in the Vietnam series, which will cover the bulk of the first Indochina war in broad strokes from 1946-1954.
The final version will be public here at 5pm BST: https://youtu.be/bQQ6SsvD8Go
The next video in this series will be the longest so far and will deal with the epic Battle of Dien Bien Phu in some considerable detail.
Lasting three months and ending in a catastrophe for France that ended its rule in South East Asia, we'll be looking at it down to company and platoon level at some points.
This video is going into the animation stage - I am hopeful of releasing it in two weeks, around the 20th October.
The other project which has seen major steps forward since the last update is the pair of videos on the 1940 battle of Narvik. The first of these is now almost finished, and is in early access for silver and gold patrons today.
Episode 2 in this pair, dealing with the second battle of Narvik, is also well along its animation stage and is only a couple weeks behind.
Not sure 100% at this stage when these two videos will be released publically, it depends on whether we can attract a sponsor for them, but it will be in the October/November window.
Other Projects
On top of these videos, we're working on other content to come out in the last weeks of the year. November-December is the most important time of the year on YouTube so I'm working flat out to get as much content produced as possible.
2023 has been a really tough year for the channel, to the point where its continued viability probably hinges on having a very good end to the year, so you can expect that the videos we put out are going to take on a distinctly American subject matter, and be laser focused (as much as I can ) on optimising for the algorithms.
Thank you all for the continuing support- its making a significant difference to the channel at the moment, as we go through a lean period.
I'll have more details on what exactly is planned for the end of 2023 as it gets clearer
Thanks,
Josh
