The Scots could single-handedly take them all on! :D A little too much scotch, a dozen or so bagpipes playing and thousands of big muscular warrior in kilts swinging swords like madmen and charging towards you would make anyone run in terror! :)
 
But the English beat the Scottish, so that must mean that we're truly the best. Huzzah!

I suppose pirates would mostly count as western European?

That's true.... maybe we should give them a little less alcohol before they go into battle. :rolleyes: Or better yet, make the enemy get all their alcohol! The Scots would be so mad they wouldn't leave anybody standing!

That's another one of my point. the english was the strongest country during the late middle ages.
 
Are we talking strictly Earth armies? Or could we include extra-terrestrials? Those dudes from Signs could really do some damage... as long as it doesn't rain. The Borg could do a good number on us too, and if Alien and Predator teamed up against us, we'd be cooked!
 
I think the biggest threat wouldn't be from extraterrestrials, it would be time-travellers. They might have a time-gun that could zap you right smack into the Big Bang, and who could combat that?
 
But if a time traveller zapped you he couldn't be sure you weren't his grandparent or something and he might end up dead himself. I think that would just be too risky. And anyway, I've seen in films that it's always the plucky chaps from the 20th century that win against time travellers so we'd just need to steal a time machine from one of the future killers, pop back to the 80's and grab someone with a kick-arse perm and we'd be sorted.
 
Just wait till my army takes over Mauritius and my scientists bring back the islands' fame, with their genetic engineering...everyone will be in for a world of hurt.
 
Litany, as always you make an excellent point. I think you are correct, if you had a time machine you could really only attack people in the future. So what we really have to worry about is, if someone from the future sent a time machine back into the past, then those guys from our past might come forward and attack us. Fortunately we'd have nothing to fear from their muskets and bayonets. And as for the amazing hairstyles of the 80's, I say we should use our time machine to just kind of skip over that embarrassing era.

Indeed. I think this is a very real threat that our current world governments are simply not taking seriously enough.

Certainly, their weapons would be inferior to ours, but their real ace in the hole is biological warfare. Bubonic plaque, smallpox, fleas, body odour. Imagine living your whole life with no running water or deodorant. You'd be deadly.

Easy to defeat warriors from the past. You just look at them with an endearing smile spread across your visage, and in a most ingratiating tone say "Grandpa!" They will have no option but to slow down in their charge, exchange wardress for sensible trousers and slippers and give you a Werther's Original.
