That sounds like the best idea.

FTFY.

[Comrade P.]

Those guys making short clips on Imperial Guard are rather entertaining.

3 Commissars... Please, nooooooooo.

[Gamerlord]

You know what would be hilarious? Nine commissars and one sergeant who has to deal with them all.

What kind of heresy is that?

[Aseaheru]

Oh gods... Better yet, nine commissars and a storm trooper, since then there is so companions in the group...

I personally find the IG attitude towards (most) Commissars to be hilarious, and I have this image in my head of a beleaguered sergeant having to deal with a ton of them... kinda like a office manager dealing with dumbass executives. Just really, really amusing for some reason.

This is surprisingly amusing, but this link is to the beginning of the series.

I know, I watched it all a while ago - commissars punchline doesn't change through the whole series though, still, it's hilarious.

Speaking of beginning of the whole thing, it started with a song clip.

Abnett is know for exaggerating in his books: Inquisitor Eisenhorn, about whom he had a series of novels, managed to do such things as

bending major demon entity to his will and destroying Emperor-class chaos titan alone with help of said entity.

Yeah, but that's Eisenhorn. He's an Inquisitor, so he's supposed to be sorta overboard. Besides, Mitchell and whoever thought up Yarrik agree with him, and real-life Commissars were usually also one per regiment.

You see, a Commissar is outside the chain of command, meaning he has no factual rank in most cases (with some exceptions like Gaunt and our very own Commissar, who'll get to be a Lieutenant-Commissar if no Sergeant turns up), but he can shoot anybody who disagrees with him in the face. In practice, that means he can directly contradict the decisions of the regiment's commanding officer. That's enough trouble on its own, without there being fifteen of the little bastards running around contradicting each other. One Commissar and one Junior Commissar are enough.

The later Gaunt books have like 6 Commissars at once for the Ghosts. Unsurprisingly, some of them get cut down soon enough. I'd still not recommend ONLY COMMISSARS: COMMISSAR WAR.

In fact, the maximum number of full Commissars at all time was three, I think. Ludd, Gaunt, and Novobazky. Before that just Gaunt and Hark, with Ludd as a junior Commissar.

Well this is gonna be fun if the other 2 don't show up. We look like a command squad who got assigned to the wrong unit by a computer error.

[Comrade P.]

Well this is gonna be fun if the other 2 don't show up. We look like a command squad who got assigned to another unit by Emperors will.

FTFY, mind the commissars

I juuuust might run with that. We'll see.

[Comrade P.]

Speaking of Munitorum errors causing Guardsmen to suffer - Fifteen hours is a good novel about it.
