They don't have to do it to help Persia.  Unless they want Russia moving in near their turf.   

Warm water port Russians is much stronger Russians.

*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. :-)

Yes, and they were still alive after it! The Sonderbund saw 180'000 men fighting (or at least maneuvering). The american army was actually disbanded after the revolution, and had only 36'000 soldiers at the end of the war of 1812 (15'000 had died during the war).

Even then: Rifles > Swords and Bows...

Your claims that warfare in Europe in 1848 was done with bows and arrows is extraordinary enough that I must ask for some kind of reference.....

Don't underestimate ninjas...

Yeah, you better watch out for all those Swiss Ninjas.

Indeed, two of the huge early issues about the extent of Federal authority in the US were: should we have a standing army, and should we have a central bank. Both were hotly debated, and the answer to both was either some variant of "no" or a compromise until much later: 1913 for the central bank, 1947 for the army (though implicitly since the 1840's).

In Japan, not in Europe. Samurais.

Once again I encourage everyone to make the trip over to the IRC channel #WiR_Battlemaster_1861 at coldfront.net

[Tom]

why have the channel on yet another network? The BattleMaster IRC channel is on quakenet, so that's where most BMers hang out.

This is true.

Update is forthcoming.


Was coming tonight, however my best bud showed up with a couple sixers of New Belgium. Needless to say, the update the will come tomorrow. Sorry for the slight delay.

[Perth]

So, I am finished with the update. But am going to bed.

I will post it tomorrow along with fancy photos to go along with it and make it look nice. Plus I need to update the map to put out at the same time. (dun dun dun!)

It's coming, I promise.

My guess: Someone tried to event nuclear weapons, and he's trying to figure out how best to make that country just explode.

[Adriddae]

Excellent update Perth. Very nicely done narration. It was worth the wait.

[JPierreD]

Indeed.

[Dante Silverfire]

Agreed, very well done. Things didn't go fully as planned, but hey. Wouldn't be fun if it was easy.
