Anyone else think the CSA should hire the Swiss to fight the USA for them?
Or Japanese Samurai?
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.
I think we should be good now and everyone should be moderately content. *crosses fingers*
Would also die like flies against the American army.
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.
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.
Alright a new war! So will the British allow Russia to reach warm waters or not? dundundun!
