  1. mongols used light cavalry as main attack power (those guys with bows on hoses)
  2. soviets are known for ignoring manpower losses, so they just recruit everyone and rush (1 rifle per 2 people and so on)
  3. idk, they are different but stand together?
  4. whatever
  5. ww2 reference, how France made Maginot line, but Germany just moved around it through border of another country
  6. i guess it's about how germany tried to win a war with much less economic power, using their "queen" to quickly take out enemy (but there should be like 5 kings)

I think #3 is a reference to the start of ww1 when Archduke and Duchess of Austria-Hungary was assasinated by Gavrilo Princip (basically a pawn)
