The Giant Bombcast is paired very well with a hot cup of coffee and an old fashioned donut.

First starting out as simple machines throwing stones, artillery has evolved greatly and is an important weapon in war.
Body armor in games acts as additional protection. In most cases, when a player takes damage that would completely affect their health, their body armor reduces the damage taken or takes the damage instead.
Camouflage is a means of staying hidden by altering the texture and/or pattern of a person, animal or object to conceal them against their environment. Camouflage can be found naturally in plants and animals, and it is commonly used by militaries to assist in covert operations.
Commandos are elite special forces units, often tasked with stealth operations or eliminating high-priority enemy targets
Commissars disciplinary officers employed by the Imperium of Man to ensure stability of units and the punishment of potential and actual deserters.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.
A theme used very often in fantasy and sci-fi settings is that of a brutal, totalitarian empire or kingdom whose armies oppress the common people. Evil Empires appear under many names in various game worlds, including simply "The Empire".
Fascism is a extremist totalitarian, nationalistic political ideology. Within video games, various fascist regimes are often portrayed as the enemy within the Second World War.
Genocide refers to killing on massive scale, often systematic and for political or religous reasons.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
In the forty-one-thousandth century, Humanity has been united into the vile, zealous, and destructive Imperium of Man, a vast galaxy-spanning empire encompassing countless planets. It was founded by the God-Emperor at the end of the Age of Strife.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Nameless and disposable characters, who follow commands from whoever they see as their leader or boss.
A way of attempting to control a population via media.
A weighty real-world issue that some games comment on, often through allegory. Unfortunately, other games can offend players in their depiction of different ethnicities, whether intentionally or not, thus becoming part of the issue themselves.
Veteran cannon fodder that have made appearances in more than one game, often with a small cosmetic change each time.
Any person that is in an Army.
A xenophobic, evil and totalitarian alien race who usually invade lots and lots of space Frances or space Russias. They normally have a Fuhrer type leader who wants to conquer the universe like Hitler.
A superweapon is a structure or character with amazing powers and amazing costs. This weapon can turn the battle to its owner's side single-handedly, but is usually the most expensive and time consuming to construct.
A government that restricts the flow of information, or willingly subjugates it's people.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
