War. War never ends. Much like stupid optimism.

King Ron of Bongolia stands outside the freshly recaptured city of Varcheg with his army of recruits (yes okay, there are some vets in here too). The enemy is approaching, outnumbering our beloved monarch 3:1. Ron has called for backup in numbers that will crush this army, but they're two day's ride away. Does Ron fortify the city with his army and hope his trusted generals A: arrive in time and B: join the defense or does he leg it, again, wait for backup then easily recapture the city?

We all know what the sensible thing to do would be. But this is Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord, and Ron Bongos has had about enough of being sensible.

Behold! While some may describe this section of the video as the link graveyard, I offer you treasures, delights and mischief. This section of the description rarely changes, except when it does (*).

Okay, that's a total lie, it's a link graveyard. It is however delivered with the kind of panache you have come to expect.

Why is any of this interesting? Because I try to make the nonsense that occurs behind each of these links worth your while. You can trust me. No reason is offered why you can trust me, just know that you can.

Let's do the commercial gubbins first. Anything you procure from the below will help out the channel, although I might spend some of the kickbacks I get on "projects". If any of these projects see the light of day, you'll be the first to know.

Would you like a personal video? Maybe you fancy sponsoring the outro, sending a birthday message, life tips or buying a video? Get yourself to the Wisio! https://www.wisio.com/Colonel_Failure

Perchance you would care for some merchandise? Only the very best will do for the Colonel's table! https://freshmerch.fm/collections/colonel-failure

If you'd like to support the channel and get some rather magical bonus videos, access to the lunacy of the Discord channel and more offers to play games than sticks should be shaken at. More importantly you'll be part of the last emergency service - The Fail Brigade. Zesty! Two ways to get with the program-
Option 1 (several different tiers available): Patreon - http://patreon.com/colonelfailure
Option 2 (one size-fits all): YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/colonelfailure/join

Last but not least, if you want to know my current "rig" (that's what we young people call it) consists of visit the ole Amazon storefront where I will tempt you with things, all of which I do not regret using my own personal pocket money on: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/colonelfailure

Let us move on from tales of commerce to things more fun-loving.

Do you want to follow a Twitter account that is actually cheerful? Not in the kind of way that offers life-affirming, inspirational text with a waterfall in the background, but in a jolly, acerbic kind of way? Follow me on Twitter. That's what I do. I almost never shill my latest video entertainment. http://twitter.com/cnlfailure

Do you want to know what videos are coming up each week? A few people do. I don't always get around to publishing the schedule, but when I do, I do it on Facebook. Not sure why I chose Facebook, but there you are. http://facebook.com/cnlfailure

Okay, you've made it. You clicked at least two links, now get your reward.

(*) - Today's secret: Let's face it, I've a pretty good hunch the reinforcing parties will kick around outside the city giving it all "nah, don't fancy it guv" while it falls to Ron to try and land enough headshots to break the morale of the invaders. We're looking at easily 100+ kills from the head of state to stand a chance.
