Jesus told us to throw away old wineskins (teachings)
I don't know people are dumb.

Yeah...he also told us "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17 Soooooo....

Well if you'd ever even looked inside a Bible you'd see all kinds of little annotations that reference prophecies in the OT that Jesus fulfills in the NT

I'd imagine he was commenting on the mobility of Napoleon's artillery. Shit thread.

>>2084271
ah but what made napoleon's artillery so mobile?

it's only a shit thread if you don't contribute

Napoleon was an artillery officer first.

He revolutionized the use of artillery in combat.

>"There had been kings who had made artillery their hobby; Napoleon was an artilleryman who made a hobby of breaking and making kings." - Colonel John Elting

>Bonaparte expected excellence and competence from his gunners and he got it. The French artillery became superior to every artillery of Europe. Under the Empire the artillery was greatly increased. It was well organized, efficient and well supplied in ammunition. Several other European armies patterned their artillery after the French. There was even partial adoption of the French Gribeauval System by the US Army in 1809. Between 1804 and 1809 Napoleon's artillery was in its peak and made great impression. Chlapowski writes: "A good half hour passed before a cannon, with French crew, arrived and unlimbered. In front of it came some old French officer, riding beside Dabrowski's aide, Bergenzoni, who was hit immediately by an enemy [Prussian] bullet and fell off his horse just level with the house behind which we were huddled. The Frenchman did not even stir, as if he had not noticed his companion fall beside him. He stood so close to the cannon that the blast of its first round knocked his fine hat over his eyes. At the third shot the gate gave way and this officer said to me in French 'Come on, young man, earn yourself a cross. Into town with you !' We rushed forward and burst into the town, right in amongst the Prussians ..." (Chlapowski/Simmons - p 17)

Is it because they because monotheistic faiths preach to have the only truth and everybody else is an enemy?

>Simple message
>Adversarial to other religions
>Advocates its spreads
Hell, you should not be treating all religion as a meme but abradhamic faiths as memes (although Gnosticism is rather memetic too but more syncretic in nature than adversarial)

>>2084078
I'm just trying to use meme theory on religion as religion fits the definition of a meme. And then the question remains what qualities makes some religions memes more prevalent than others.

As a big Total war player and modder i felt it was a bit disappointing.

They used unmodded Rome 2 on small unit sizes, so even the Zama battle was basically just a skirmish, the vanilla gameplay is also far too fast and arcade like which doesn't suit the purpose of the show, you saw how in an instant the slingers killed almost all the cavalry units.

They need to do much bigger scale battles with slowed down combat speed to properly allow for tactical battles to ensue.

The editing was bad too, lots of spliced scenes from trailers and they also talked about something happening but then didn't show it, like the elephants.

The dudebros would have won if they didn't fuck up the elephant charge. However they should have cred for going general vs general, made good TV.

An ancient people we all are, Goths we are not
Part of the ancient Slavdom are we.
Whoever says otherwise slanders and lies,

In France only in septimania the rest was lost to fast, Italy also only Very little long time impact on the longtime population(structual problems) but in Spain/Portugal they left a pretty big impact

>>2083792
Are any of these places still mostly Germanic today? Cheers mate.

>>2083669
Reality shows get the axe and we make more docudramas. Shit like the Tudors but less sex and more informative. Take a cue from some popular youtubers too with more entry level historical series like extra credits that aren't very in depth but make the viewer feel smart.

>>2083688
>exchange the cheap media for expensive period pieces
>turn a profit

>>2083696
Yes. Is there a reality in your mind where a history based network can exist or is it just more rednecks with cameras pointed at them?

How about "Heil Honey I'm Home!" ? Sitcoms are cheap and entertaining, we'll just make those and ignore that silly history crap no one likes anyway.

>>2083636
Exported their Jews to the Reich's labor camps for the cause.

>>2083636
Give troops to the eastern front, try really hard to make their own equipment but be 99% equipped with German stuff anyway, pretend their government weren't German puppets, export Jews to Germany, get raped by commies like all of Germany's allies.

That's pretty much it.

An entire army was devastated in Operation Little Saturn and Budapest was fucked up completely over the course of 50 days which according to Antony Bevor was compounded by the Soviet soldiers who "Showed no pity to the Hungarian women when Malinovsky gave them a free run of the capital in celebration of their victory."

For all of this they retained their 1920 borders.

Its all the (((ATF)))
They couldn't be satisified with just shooting dogs.

basically, also this was in the 90's when the clintons put the AWB into place, jacking up paranoia amongst the prepper apocalypse militia types, wayne la pierre did his infamous "jackbooted thugs" memo, and the ruby ridge standoff had just happened.
they were just very trigger happy and wanted a big showoff to show that they could handle things.

>"heh, so you want to get into history? just start with the greeks kid"

the entire war was a ploy to kill off troublesome samurai

>As virtually all Japanese ships in the first phase of the war lacked cannon artillery,[96] Korean ships outranged and bombarded Japanese ships with impunity outside the range of the Japanese muskets, arrows, and catapults.[96] When the Japanese attempted to outfit cannon to their ships,[124] their lightweight ship design prohibited using more than a few per vessel, and vessels usually lacked the firepower or range of their Korean counterparts.[125] In order to bolster their fleet, the Japanese considered employing two Portuguese galleons in the invasion.[126]

>In addition to a lack of effective naval armament, most Japanese ships were modified merchant vessels more suited for transportation of troops and equipment than fielding artillery weapons.

>>2082972
They were designed for setting enemy vessels on fire and boarding them.
Korean turtle ships were designed to completely counter these sorts of ships, which is why Japan got rekt hard.
