what long ranged weapon would you have?
An 18th century rifle.
what melee weapon?
A rapier, with its matching gauge.
what armor?
None, of course. I am a gentleman!
what kind of terrain is there?
How should I know? Being a gentleman I let the opponent choose the battlefield
who would be the enemies?
Ze French!
how would you fight? (stealth,up front,more long range,brawn,strategy)
Honourably.

is this guy Prussian

is that a question

Its a Napoleonic joke!

I see, care to elaborate? I always thought the British were that civil. But perhaps the Prussians were even more so of course.

Well the use of Ze automatically moves away from being British. Secondly the idea that the British would fight fare is a complete joke the semi suicidal nature of letting his opponent chose that battle field sounds very Prussian. Alot people have alot misconceptions about the British well outside of Europe.

Well said I suppose. Come to think of it, the British weren't too keen on letting the enemy choose the battle field, but as far as I have read, their officers did try and fight fair. Though, I got most to all of my information from a series of novels about the British private Richard Sharpe (by Bernard Cornwell, marvellous books). That guy might have been a bit biased.

Hmm so Prussian it is. Not bad I suppose. Even though they don't have green jackets.

Actual Prussian uniforms are black with silver of white trim they look quite evil in a ridiculously imperial way. And the Prussians had really good tactics for training troops just some of there nobles where nuts, like leading the charge first when your a baron is a bit odd. Also sharp is fairly historically inaccurate apart from northerners being good at fighting and the Voltaire quotes.

I suppose so. But in Cornwell's credit, he did have historical notes at the end of each book, noting assumptions, possible inaccuracies, or downright make belief happenings. At least they gave me a good first impression on the way wars were fought there. I always used to have a distaste for that time period, these books made me interested and actually made me like the game Empire: Total War.

There good books and the battles and tactics are fairly realistic just alot of the characters are unrealistic like every french man being evil.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Long range: A revolver.

Melee: An Officer's Sabre.

Armour: A 19th Century Cavalry Uniform worn over a high tech and illogically thin but oddly effective combat armour body suit sort of thing.

Terrain: A big fortress, with the enemy outside, and plenty of ammo with me inside.

Enemies: Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron, A Horde of drunk chavs with sticks, maybe some stones.

How: Point gun at enemy, pull trigger, yell a lot.

Hmm Thats Major Richard Sharpe and The British always tried to choose the battlefield the Battle of Corunna is a good example.

Yes normally showed sharp a peasant being a brilliant tactician and all noble officers being completely incompetent.

Not all of them Cornwell Says Wellesly and the other lead generals were good. Also Captain Lossow was a noble and good stratigist.

Hey! Not every guy, remember that one guy in some march during the Peninsula war? I think he waved to Sharpe and shrugged or something. And there were others too, too bad my memory is so crappy. But I do recall some fair officers here and there.

Hmm Thats Major Richard Sharpe and The British always tried to choose the battlefield the Battle of Corunna is a good example.

You're very right about choosing the battlefield, didn't think that part through very well. And why Major? Why not Lt. Colonel? Or don't you consider those books part of the story (which I can't blame you for really)?

 

[murphy7801]

Yes well it would be hard to dislike one of the greatest military heroes of are the time trust me the characters just don't feel quite right also some times he plots are a little weak.

What I mean is there majority bad if you have any money in the sharp books your looking like your going to be evil on average.

 

[Oneirius]

Well, I don't know. But it could make for a really cool movie, I guess.
Also monkeys. Everything better with monkeys.

I was only counting his British Ranks and I dont count the TV show as Canon as they greatly disagree with Cornwell's books of the Starbuck series.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

May I reccomend the Flashman series of books by George MacDonald Fraser? They're about a cowardly Victorian cavalry officer who always ends up in the dealings of greater men, and more or less comes out being hailed as a hero.

But we should stop going off-topic.

what long ranged weapon would you have?

what melee weapon?

what armor?

what kind of terrain is there?

who would be the enemies?

how: more stealth

EDIT: do NOT say you would run. i wanna know what you say!

armor: mecha
terrain: Anywhere.
Enemies: I'd have none since they'd all fear me and my army.

[pakker]

Ranged Wep: I can't decided.. A hand that shoots bees or the shuriken/lightning gun like in Painkiller... But I'll end up with a sniping rifle as always

armor: COG suit from Gears of War (no helmet thank you)

Terrain: Nuclear waste, central/southern europe, urban areas.. Think Fallout 3 here

Enemies: The capitalistic army of EVUL!!
