Okay, I'll bite. Watching this just to see how angry I can get.

So far they've called Washington 'patient' and Napoleon 'obsessed with war' and I'm fuming.

I'd also bet on Napoleon to win if the show weren't obviously biased.

Holy shit this is their worst one yet. I haven't seen the series in a while but I regard it as a shitty show that attempts to tie history into mindless television.

Napoleon should have won, no TV show can say otherwise.

I mean I like how their system decides the outcome by taking all factors but I don't feel like these people should be deciding who has the better edge with Weapons and Tactics... you know what I mean?

Absolutely fucking aggravating shite.

That show for one thing is majorly biased and also completely inaccurate. There cannot be question in my view that Napoleon would've beaten Washington.

In this 5vs 5 battle, we will see who is the better general... who uses a 6 cannon at that range against 5 guys?! With roundshot instead of canister!

Well.
I'm angry.

I had to laugh every time they called a man who turned his army around just because the British used a fox hunting bugle call to report his retreat 'patient'.

Wow.
In theory we could do huge player numbers far over 500 players per server...  As such we will surely keep our promise to deliver you the 500 players per server.

We will probably go (far) over it, but that's for later.

Yeah I saw this episode a couple of years ago. It's full of shite, I mean Napoleon was better equipped, his men had better training, he had better tactics, all of it.

I mean Washington was a good General but he wasn't the best, far from it.

This almost pissed me off as much as the French Foreign Legion vs Gurkha one went.

 This is one of the stupidest episodes of this stupid show (it's funny to watch, but mind-numbing).

 George Washington was lucky he could pull through long enough to fight in the Battle of Saratoga, which he only really won because the British commanders during the ARW weren't cruel and suppressive enough to wipe down the American armies when they could. I would say Washington was a bit of a coward; people would skip reason and fact to say he wasn't as a result of how he was portrayed: as a hero. This show calling him America's greatest general is foolish; there were so many better generals than him.

 Napoleon Bonaparte was no where near a master rifleman and swordsman. He went to military school and did very well, but he surpassed in artillery, to which he would become a Lieutenant in an artillery regiment.

 The artillery in this video was painful to watch, because it was so bloody close to the targets. Who the hell cares if you can hit a target from a few yards a way? 200 yards, you say? Bah.

 Both Washington and Bonaparte were no where near vicious warlords that did fighting themselves. It would come down to so many things, but I feel Napoleon would have won no matter where they were/when. If Napoleon was attacking the Americans on their own soil, I feel Napoleon still would have won, because he wouldn't have had any affiliation with the colonies/states in any way, they would just have been enemies to fight.

 I would write more and go into more detail, but my audio card just started overheating, so I must restart. Fuck the summer.

EDIT: The fact that the battle was so small-scale and that Washington and Napoleon fought in melee makes me laugh. Both of them would have not stayed so long to the point where either general would have to fight one on one, nor would have either actually fought at all.

Napoleon:I have a cavalry saber. I am on a horse. I'd better dismount to take on someone 9 inches taller and 60 pounds heavier. I'm a genius by the way...

 Keep in mind, the entire battle was computer-generated, so it's totally accurate.
