Assume temperate climates with enough rain throughout the year and snowy winters.

I guess choosing a LARP related image didn't help much...

For the same reason modern communist mobs can attack conservative citizens outside universities today.

Police hold back because their superiors don't want violent confrontations between soldiers and citizen mobs.

Its actually incredibly sad that the state of Democracy has fallen to such a degree that citizens are beaten by political mobs.

they were too busy bumming each other no doubt

the sons of liberty were no t a civilian mob

Is this thread a joke. For fucks sake!

Alexander's enemies were unfamiliar to how to approach defeating the Macedonian phalangx while his Macedonian successors were unfamiliar with how to defeat the maniple.

Alexander never built the main concept of his army of that of a defensive one. In-fact, he was said to do shit like destroy defense dams on the Euphrates, despite owning the territory for a couple years already and them not being used against him, because he didn't like the idea of fighting defensively but always approach battles with an offensive or counter offensive mentality. The Macedonian Phalangx was heavily reliant on auxiliary to function, they needed to have a competent cavalry and or skirmisher forces to work, as-well as Hypaspists to defend it's flanks and to station at forts or garrisons in the places they conquered. If you broke through it on it's sides or back it would easily crumble. And it ultimately required a very experienced officer to co-ordinate the movement and formation of the forces.

The Roman maniple was far more expendable and versatile. They could bend when the situation called for it while the phalanx couldn't. They could fight offensively or defensively, and it was quite frankly more easier for the typical General in charge of a maniple to fully comprehend and know how to utilize the essential units in it, seeing how 3 out of the 4 (or 5, if you count the cavalry, but that wasn't as emphasized or crucial to it as a unit) were more identical with how to function together than a typical general in a Macedonian army would with his units (which phalangites, peltasts, and cavalry which compromised of them were very different specialties that it's hard to be an expert with knowing the capabilities of all of them).

just Ken Burns

Great emperor who unfairly gets blamed for the negative effects of the bubonic plague that fucked over the empire. Saying that he overextended the empire is just another way of saying that he somehow should have predicted that the plague would kill off some 30% of the empires manpower and make some of his conquests untenable.

A big guy

Francis Crosby had decades of combat experience, so I think he might know a little bit more about how soldiers should be equipped than some faggot with a history degree.

It was corruption, he wanted an excuse to buy helmets.

It's just a theory. There are others, but each one is weird and far fetched.
They take it too seriously.

kinda. they are more illyrian then their neighbors, but they arent 100% percent illyrian genetically. croats are the second most illyrian in their blood. what they do have is some of the illyrian language, even though the majority has changed over the centuries. they are a mix of illyrian, thracian, and minute amounts of greek, roman, and turk. but >>2495523 is right, even if they where 100% illyrian they should try to fix the country they have now instead of looking to the past

Probably.

Savoy >>> Burgundy

I remember there were 4 biographies of burgundian rulers (including Charles the Bold). How well written are they? Are they more academic or accesible to a larger audience?

Just making Iraq great.

Petain did literally nothing wrong. De Gaul was in the wrong in this case and proved it by not executing Petain. He knew in his heart he had fucked up and France still hasn't recovered.
