Europe and asia

kasuta said:
OK I just ran a simulation using action figures. I didn't really have anything representing old Europeans so I used some old french toy soldiers. And I didn't really have any ancient Asian figures so I used old Star Wars figures. For balance I put a few green army men on each side. And you know who won? My dog, he came in and knocked them all over, then he chewed Han Solo's arm off. I am going to wait until tomorrow and see if he poops it back out.

That was probably the most accurate simulation anyone could come up with. :D And I think you've made a good point. Discussing who would win is pointless. We can see what has happened throughout history, and anything more than that is just speculation. Both armies were very good. They each had their strengths and weaknesses (they are only humans after all).

They are humans but the europeans were better for having a better equipped army. They all had weakpoints but the europeans were better on the important ones.
 
Good point, Litany. Actually I saw a great program on the History Channel the other night about a crucial battle between Hannibal and the Romans, I don't remember the name of the battle unfortunately but the smaller, more poorly equipped army won the battle, so who was the better army there?

You just said you I don't know what you know. You are using age of empires? that game is totally like starcraft and you are using that to judge the sides? in the game archers were strong against infantry and weak against calvary which is totally inaccurate. The menat arms had to dismount to fight in during the late middle ages due to the danger of being mounted for the archers to shoot.

You people are worse than 3 year olds. Your minds are so stupid that you can't even think properly. I don't have time arguing with you.

That's just it you silly little child. You are arguing; we are discussing.

Our method means we don't throw our toys out the pram when nobody listens to our stonewall opinions.

Having seen you on another forum and having seen your attitude there to I am more inclined to believe you are prone to regurgitating the words of others. It's called plagiarism in the modern ("lenient") day and age of claim and counter claim culture. In medieval periods using someone else's words was viewed as bowing to a superior wisdom. How nice of you to bow.

Ah, Grasshopper, there is much I could teach you.

For instance, there is no army on the Earth, be they Western, Eastern, alien, or Worther's Original carrying grandparents from the past that can stand up to just one brave master of the spork.

He says we do not know the truth of the Mongols. Well then, let me share. All was going well for them with the conquest and the rock concerts and the shagging of the pretty white women with the big boobs, when they came across a wizened old chap sitting outside a pub drinking a pint of bitter.

'Ha ha Old Man,' mocked Ghengis 'I shall spill your pint and make wild love to your big breasted number one wench.'
And as he spoke these words he reached across and tweaked the aforementioned wench on the nip. Well, the old chap was none other than Howard Doppleganger, famous spork master and killer of giants. He was having none of this tweaking of nipples and spilling of pints so, quicker than a flash (or even The Flash, or even Billy Whizz he was so fast) he reached across with his favourite rusty spork and disembowelled old Ghengis with nary more of a flick of the wrist. Of course this quite incensed the old Mongols and they set to stamping their little feet and gnashing their teeth and whatnot. But before even Mighty Bob McCrumpet, second in command of the Mongol army, had even reached into his scabbard and pulled out Percival, his magic sword of ultimate vengence, Howard had killed him. And not only him, but the whole of the Mongol horde.

True story.
 
They're suppressing the truth. If people knew the real history of the world there'd be riots every Thursday.

Insulting the other members will get you nowhere, except the door!

Warhammer Historical, obviously. The added realism of chariots with 2D6 Impact Hits just makes it that bit more reliable.
