WI: Robert Clive vs Tipu Sultan
This scenario implies that Robert Clive did not die in 1774 and instead went on to command forces during the Second-Mysore War, maybe after he finished winning the American Revolutionary war
, and fought the Tipu Sultan. Clive would be a good match for an opponent like the Tipu Sultan who has one of the most modernized forces in India. The Sultan has French supplied cannons, flintlock muskets, Mysorean light cavalry forces and 20 brigades worth of rocket units. The match could be something like the Battle of Pollilur (1780) refought with Clive in command.
