User blog comment:Necron Jesus/Mujahideen vs. Khmer Rouge/@comment-35680048-20191020221456

First I'd like to say how glad me and the other users are that you've come back after a long absence.But yes, you have made some errors in your X-factors.

First up is your training. The Khmer Rouge weren't even close to a professionally trained group, as they had pretty rudimentary training with a semi-functioning govt. And your reasoning even if this was true makes no sense, as you say the Mujahedeen was literally trained by the US.

Then there's tactics, where you give it a pretty high 81 for tactics, which is inflating their success a lot. The Khmer Rouge mostly comitted mass genocide, they weren't exactly great at tactics, as evidenced when they got their asses handed to them by the Vietnamese.

And finally this might just be a misunderstanding of the category, but when we usually use the Mental Health category, the higher the number, the better the warrior's Mental Health is. And the Khmer Rouge were infamously fucked in the head, having been through committing such unspeakable atrocities.And many of them being teenagers. I think you should change the category to either lower the number or just rename it to "Mental Instability" so it's clearer to voters.

And finally this isn't related to the X-factors, but your situation.The Khmer Rouge didn't really serve as mercenaries. At least, there's no real record of them doing so. Which makes sense when you look at how much Democratic Kampuchea was struggling against Vietnam.They didn't exactly have the manpower to go and send out mercenaries. So if you want to make it less random, have the Soviets pull some fuckery with these two.

I would personally do something like having the USSR come in and push the Vietnamese out enough for the Khmer Rouge to have ample breathing room, and then force Pol Pot to hand over some troops to fight the Mujahedeen, or else they get destroyed too. Then from there you could do basically whatever when they get to Afghanistan.

But whatever you want to do is fine as long as they aren't portrayed as mercenaries or something else that wouldn't make sense for their situation.
