Napoleonic warfare thread?
Napoleonic warfare thread.

political street fights will, though. it's pretty much the only area of modern combat where formation warfare has a chance at being the winning strategy.

this 'mutual rioting' shit is so stupid. two groups of antsy 20-somethings agreeing to meetup and brawl just to go home crying online about how they got hit in the head with a stick

Ah, the glory of dying from dysentery or cholera because of months on end of living in the horrifyingly unsanitary conditions of a pre-20th century army camp.

I don't know much about shillings or cannonball, but wouldn't you rather just smash it?

Or are cannonball so soft that aerodynamic forces will sharpen them to needle-thin points?

I found the show fairly subpar, even if it did have a non-dying Sean Bean in it. The books, though... I picked up Sharpe's Tiger at a Dollar General not expecting much. Within a couple of weeks I had bought the whole series.

The reduction of the preeminence of gun artillery on the field and in the sea hurts man. Almost as much as the obsolescence of above ground and substantial fortifications.

>It hurts man.

Why? You aren't a warrior, just cosplay one while Jamal dumps nut in your butt. That era was fucking horrible to soldier in. You are a queer who wants to play dress up, so dress up and go play slurp-n-burp.

You can always be a reenactor.

They'd not be glorious without war. Cosplay is nothing. Glory is earned by combat. Life is the price.

I don't think it's that stupid. I'd enjoy to go out in the street and have a good old stick brawl with my political rivals. It doesn't accomplish anything, but neither do conventional protests, and at least it gives a good time and lets off steam for both sides.

>>34061376
>all those pictures of the veterans of the Imperial Guard that even included some Old Guard
They were pretty cool

>>34065859
The regular cannon is easy. Just use the middle bar. Round shot is pretty accurate. With howitzers, you have to aim REALLY low and use trial and error. Mortars are just...yeah.

of course it's bad you leftist eunuch but that never stopped 20,000 years of men of all walks of life from glorifying it in art, song, and stories. if pre modern era warfare triggers you this much then you may as well just kys yourself so you never have to worry about being reminded of it again.
