what if the Europeons failed?

I didn't say they were tromping around in the forest. I said they'd be stationed at the villages to defend the tribes they were trading with.

didn't you just get through saying the Indians wouldn't allow any Settlements to form, and the Europeans were sending their armies to battle with the Indians for Beaver pelts?
 
Not interfere? First of all soldiers wearing red in a forest would probably scare away deer and beavers.

Secondly as I said earlier their big hats would get knocked off of their heads by low hanging branches.

Cue distraught commanders attempting to get their men back in line after having their hats knocked off. :)
 
Yeah, I imagine his plan would result in soldiers forming large perimeters around trapping areas, where they would easily be picked off one by one if the locals decided to attack, resulting in a grueling campaign with thousands of casualties. At one point a grieving mother would ask the local governor:

Mother: Why did my son have to die? He was only 17! WHY ARE WE FIGHTING!?
Gov: Ma'am, your soft beaver hats and gloves have to come from somewhere.
Mother: *sobs* Did he at least die well?
Gov: No, it was the Iroquois you see, the captured him, beat him, and burned him alive. And they also called him a p***y for screaming when he was on fire.
Mother: ...

It would never get that far. Imagine presenting this plan to Parliament.
 
He has a story? This is more 'lunatic ramblings'.

In fact... give me a second here...
