I have to admit, this sight is scary as fuck. And it's only a bloody picture.But, my army would avoid open combat whenever possible, focusing on haressment, skirmishing, and Parthian Tactics.


Ahh yes, the Polish Hussars. That was actually the inspiration for my cavalry. I'm going tp use more classic tactics like Front line assults and flanking manuvuers.

Tired Imperial forces vs. malnorished sailors and villagers armed with rifles. This is about as level of a playing field it's going to be.

Tired troops that are getting forced rest and building fortifications. Also I imagine rifles are a little too modern for this era no? They only came out in the Napoleonic wars really.

Also did I mention there are 50,000 men?

You also can't besiege my cities at all; they both have ports and you can't fully encircle them without coming under fire from my naval forces :)

Plus an assault on the walls? That'll be costly ;)

I know I can't starve your men out or reach the coast lines.
Also true. horribly costly, unacceptably costly. Thank goodness Si Fu is a democratically elected leader who cares about the impact that tens of thousands of deaths will have on his electoral base :p

The first rifle was invented roughly 50 years after what the date is now. And only widely distributed roughly 100 years after. Which is why I am going for non-gun.

And, John, if I made a frontal assault on anyone less than half my force, I'd get cut down. That is why we are sneaky bastards.

The first rifle wasn't invented until the 1860s. That's a long ways off.

I stand corrected. The minie ball was invented in the 1840s, which made rifles actually useful. I suppose armies around this time would have access to them.
