@terminallyOL A major friendly fire incident did happen in the Napoleonic Wars at the battle of Wagram. Saxon troops allied to the French were attacking the Austrians, but a French unit mistook the white Saxon uniforms for Austrians and poured musket fire into them, ruining their attack.

@Cringethesecond @Neoncookies111 @terminallyOL "They aren't camouflaged!" Buddy they're marching towards you in shoulder-to-shoulder ranks, beating drums and flying flags. Dull, muted colours aren't concealing anything.

@terminallyOL Not just wearing national colours but flying flags and wearing uniforms designed to be as intimidating and impressive as possible When you realize the value of shock and morale in this era these uniforms make complete sense

@ProjectEastMod Liberalized Empire of Austria accepts the "gutter crown" of 1848 and forms Großdeutschland?

@TickSAC @DAKKADAKKA1 Its funny how the fighting in formation is actually fantastic (The Zulus doing their war cries and massed charge, the redcoats volley firing) its just when there's a 1 v 1 fight you get a super goofy death

@KampfgruppeKrag This is true but ignores aircraft type. A lot of British production was 4 engine heavies which are vastly more expensive to build than the single engine fighters. There also existed no imperative to massively ramp up fighter building cos the allies had won in the air by then.

@KampfgruppeKrag @KubanCossackfan That cack heap of a plane was also powered by a pulse jet (which made it near un-flyable) The key difference imo is the British had the skilled woodworkers to make it a really well built wooden plane. The Germans used half starved slaves as usual.

@KampfgruppeKrag @KubanCossackfan He saw the value in tapping into a non critical industry (furniture, wooden boat building) to get planes built

@HistoireSav The important thing is, unlike Napoleon's conquests, these ones would stick.

@HayastanPapist I can't really give credit to Nicholas II for Stolypin's reforms or Sergei Witter's infrastructure projects. The decisions he did make himself were nearly all shit. All these reforms were induced by the Russian state's near collapse in 1905.

@Littoria14 While individual units could show competence, their performance as a nation at arms was entirely consistent with a non industrial regional power vs a great industrial power. ie they got bodied. Without German intervention, italy looses North Africa before summer 41.

@Littoria14 Italy's numbers were made up largely of foot infantry of dubious utility in the desert. The Germans provided the vast majority of offensive ability and were in overall command. They were also responsible for contesting the air. When it was just Italy v UK. Italy ate shit

@ChristianHeiens Reminder this demographic wildly celebrated OJ getting away with murder. Not him being found innocent, him getting away with it.

@WingedOneWinter What they forget is knights come with the additional ability to use tactics beyond "football riot mob vaguely throwing things at the opposition"
