Anyone else think the CSA should hire the Swiss to fight the USA for them?

Or Japanese Samurai?  ;)

Those Samurai are expensive. The CSA can't afford them.

However, if they are willing to give Japan Texas and Lousiana, we may have a deal.

But it's historically correct, AFAIK. The swiss had been fielding mercenary forces all over Europe for centuries.

Not only that, but they were just out of a serious civil war.

Would also die like flies against the American army. :P

I think we should be good now and everyone should be moderately content. *crosses fingers*

Thank you, I look at my earlier post, and it came off as rude. I apologise for that.

The one at the end of the war, sure. At the beginning the american armies (both sides) was not very strong or organized.

Even then: Rifles > Swords and Bows...

Don't underestimate ninjas...

Rifles>Swords sure. Bows, meh, Rifles were pretty bad at times. A trained bowman could shoot more deadly arrows at longer range than a rifleman could in the same time frame.

This is true as well. Have to see your target in order to shoot them.

Yes, but training is the important word. You take too long to train archers, and I'm not sure rifles were that bad by 1860.

They were not that bad.

*cough* well.. the Swiss civil war was a little bit different than the american civil war. Total casualties are estimated at about 100. That's one hundred, not one hundred thousand. :-)

Map correction:

Taiwan, at this time, was controlled by the Qing, wasn't it?

Hehehe... The British and Persians just got out of a war against each other.  ;)
