Europeans are so lucky Japan didn't want to conquer them they would get slaughtered. Samurai were the most skilled warriors in history of mankind and experts from Deadliest Warrior agree they were faster than Euros, more disciplined and had lighter, better weaponry that could easily cut through armor not to mention they defeated Mongols who stomped Europe.

Daily reminder that the Japanese banned European ships from entering Japan in the Sengoku period because Portuguese sailors slaughtered the samurai in duels

When lightly armoured, a rapier is just as deadly as a katana and quicker too boot.

Also Mongols only won in Europe because we were unprepared, the second campaign fails because we realised castles beat ponys

How was the State of Israel so successful in the Six-Day War?
74 posts and 8 images submitted.
>>
>>1050957

Because by and large, the Israelis have a modern "Western" military doctrine, where the military is geared for maximum external effectiveness.

Most of the Arab states, on the other hand, have rather large internal problems, and often deliberately hamper their militaries ability to function, because instilling such divisiveness prevents said military from staging a coup. However, there's a price to be paid when it comes to facing someone outside of the regime.

One thing is that the "civilization" they brought was entirely made for profit and for bringing or sending stuff to the metropole. They didn't care for the development of the african lands, they got there to take the resources and bring them back. They organized everything according to the metropole needs, not the local ones.

How is Christianity not a life-denying slave morality? I don't know a single devoted Christian who does not deny serious aspects of life, and live anti-Greek. Being Christian means to find some parts of humanity invariably "disgusting".

I just don't see the value in denying life.

How realistic are the total war games?

Could someone with a good knowledge of real life, era appropriate formations and tactics jump into the game and dominate?

I know the hammer and anvil strategy works, but I haven't played enough total war to test anything else.

>Could someone with a good knowledge of real life, era appropriate formations and tactics jump into the game and dominate?

Nope, I love total war and have played thousands of hours across the games but they are basic as fuck.

There is almost always some simple dumb strategy that always works all the time because the AI is shit.

>I know the hammer and anvil strategy works, but I haven't played enough total war to test anything else.

You don't need anything else in most of the games.
