Alexios did not speak for the people of Constantinople, and those men that fought for him then burned down a decent part of the city. The people decided then that someone else should rule and that mans mercs could leave. Also the fact you think Charlemagne's creation had better continuity to...

Offering people freedom if they hand over their valuables then murdering them is rather extreme.

Alternatively Wilhelm say gets thrown from his horse at age eight and dies in 1868. What if Heinrich leads Germany instead?

\ I mean I will condemn the slaughter of Jerusalem but not its taking. Especially as the Crusaders got non christians to promises them money then killed them anyways.

Saphroneth who now thinks its great to ignore someone for not agreeing with him, decided to use one extreme instance of the British cream of the crop fighting a badly lead army attacking them in entrenchments and then say that would be the default in any scenario I found that ridiculous. I also...

1. YOu do know that the people of Constantinoplis is Rome of the East wouldn't just accept a man who came to the throne because he had a foreign army didn't mean he was Emperor to the people. 2. This foreign army caused untold damage to the city, Why should they pay foreigners who saw right to...

Yes, the destruction rained down on the main bastion of Christianity in the east, fallowed by attempting to enforce upon its remnants a foreign religion and foreign rule was totally justified.

Yeah I am going to assume you're trying to troll.

Well I might know a grad student, he is on Yuku.

Because your magical british wouldn't hit anything as others in the Armchair general thread pointed out to you repeatedly. Also I tihnk I'm leaving becuase I just can't take anyone seriously who thinks the Zulu could execute a charge successfully on a trained entrenched enemy when they wouldn't...

I did mean Cold Harbor thanks for catching that. Also to expand on my point for anyone to think what a elite force achieved from a fortified position against ill lead conscripts would be the norm not the exception is the height of hubris. Also Now Saph is claiming the British would just fire...

Actually no, being that your entire claim is based on a battle against a poorly lead enemy attacking a entrenched position. You said they could achieve such a ration attacking the Union at Cemetery Hill. That is frankly the height of fantasy, that belongs in the same fantasy as the Stars and...

I did, if they were Robots yes it would be six to one losses, But as they are not robots and history shows otherwise it wouldn't happen. Also how is saying they lost racist? So now is saying someone lost racist?

So a battle where the conscripted, and poorly supplied Russians (who had to keep better trained and better soldiers defending the capital and keeping out the Austirans)were attacking well trained allied infantry in a fortified position. Well at the battle of Franklin the Union inflicted nearly...

Yes, even after the vile event of 1204.

Well as I said their not robots and history shows that they certainly didn't get the kill rate you claim. As I said the only scenarios I see the british doing this is when they're trying to conquer or re-enforce their will on Africans and Indians defending themselves with swords and spears.

But those battles in Crimea didn't see a six to one casualty rate so your postulation would from there be false. I mean yes against enemies armed with swords it was quite possible as the Glorious indian national awakening unfortunately showed but against men armed with modern weapons history...

Ah so now its. Well there all robots again. Thanks for clarifying Saph. I mean they would have to be for all the stuff you postulate. But thanks for clarifying.

Yeah just so you know that you'll find more factual accuracy in Braveheart then you'll find in Agora.

You do know that drill is different then battle right? That an army in the field has its rate of fire go down right? You also know that when we compare your magical British army to reality they never were able to achieve the casualty rate against a western foe right? Even Konigratzs losses had...
