Historical Discussion / Re: Dedliest Warrior - George Washington vs Napoleon Bonaparte
« on: July 29, 2013, 01:28:08 am »
Just my two cents.
I believe that washington won because of his mixed line and ambush warfare. Napoleon was the embodiment of european warfare, the last great line warfare general. Washington led both lines and ambushes. Napoleon's massed artillery would have well held down washington's lines, but certainly not the ambushers. Plus, napoleon refused to adapt rifles or the steamship, so he had rather old weapons.
Washington's skirmishers/ambushers would have had rifles, and therefore had range on napoleon's troops. Napoleon would have two options: One, thin his line by sending troops after them in a tiring, fruitless chase that would have led them right into washington's prepared line, or two, by focusing his artillery fire on the skirmishers, which would barely hit any of them, and they'd most likely be elsewhere before the shells even hit.
Napoleon would then have one option: Advancing his lines against washington, because he would believe (rightly) that he has higher quality infantry.
But, washington's aforementioned skirmishers would pick off many of their officers, as thus, their morale would fall, and so would their organization. Thus, the superiority of napoleon's infantry is gone. Washington's men would then send their lines into panic, as his infantry gives volleys into the demoralized, leaderless infantry.
A defeat for napoleon, at the hands of washington.

Most people like to state the start of WW1 as 1914. But, really, it was an inevitable boiling-over of tensions caused by the Congress of Vienna in 1814 and 1815. That is what I attribute as the real start, or at least the point where the boulder started rolling towards the inevitable war. The thing is, everyone knew it was coming. Especially those in germany, france, and england. And it was all caused by the fear of the nobility after napoleon's revolution and their futile re-dividing of nation-state lines. Instead of letting the nations do what they need to grow or shrink, they tried to create a self-sustaining system that depended on nations not being greedy. But metternich did not look at human nature, he should have known that nations have an innate desire to grow. And that's what WW1 was. A result of metternich and the congress of vienna, and the foolish nobility. And the result? Hundreds of thousands butchered, an entire generation minced and tattered, smashed against the wall and forever stained. It was one of the worst tragedies in human history: Happy, patriotic, brave young men going for glory in a war they anticipated to be a short little game, and they come back wounded, missing limbs, permenantly blind, and mentally scarred, if they're lucky.
It was the true incarnation of war, shown for what it truly was.
It was hell on earth.
