>was I a good soldier Barry?>Yes sir, the best. Nobody walked directly into enemy fire without fighting back as well as you did>*Gay kiss*???????
KISS ME ME BOY
I would have wore a ghillie suit and sniped them. Why didn't they think of this?
>>219277437Imagine charging directly into a wall of spears on horseback.
>>219277462pell-mell my ball
>>219277498They forgot to factor in the coriolis effect
>>219277437If we're to believe Barry isn't gay here, then I guess those officers in the pond weren't gay either. Just a different standard of masculinity.
Such a stupid fucking way of warfare. What the hell were they thinking not using cover?
>>219277498And cover that cool as fuck uniform? I think not, sir
>>219277958you can't hide because hiding doesn't get the job done. your choices are to walk forward or run forward and most people choose to walk, after walking most of the day.
>>219277958But if you use cover, the other guys will too.
>>219277958because you're a retard.
>>219278017>>219278025I can think of a million different better ways than standing in a fucking line and waiting to get shot like a cuckold.
>>219278057name one
>>219277437GAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>219278072I was going to but then you told me to name one and I don't take orders from peasants.
>>219278057Look at this guy, he doesn't know basic 18th century field tactics.
>>219278072>>219278089You've insulted me for the last time.
>>219278089>walking directly into enemy fire>tactics
>>219278087you weren't because there's no other way to get the job done and stay in contact with your unit
>>219278106No I haven’t! You fat cunt.
>>219278121Look here, we got another one.
>>219277437Imaging driving a tank and getting droned.
>>219277958>cheerio lads let's just hide down in this forest and wait for old boney to show himself>oi wots all this, the bloody french have just come around behind us or walked right past us instead, bollocks to that
>>219278146Uhm have you MAYBE tried flanking? Huh? Or having some deus ex machina backup that saves the day?Surely generals back then could have thought of that
>>219278183If the tactics suck so bad how come the British won most of the time?
>>219278214meat grindr tactics
>>219278152imagine getting droned while walking very slowly across a giant field by yourself while being watched by your side's drones in the hope it somehow gives away an enemy position. clearly military strategy has evolved a lot since the 1760s
>>219278214They didn't... the navy is where they ouclassed other nations (sometimes with a tiny little bit of massive luck)
>>219277995>cool as fuck uniform>redGreen is the chads uniform colour.
>>219278234That's typically what everyone else did while the Brits just stood in rows and shot them, right up until those godless Turks started using shooty-bangs that shot more than once a minute.
>>219278234>grindrI know what kind of fat hairy faggot you are
>>219278265forgot pic
>>219278316Obviously black, but whatever.
>>219277462Gaaaaaay
>>219278017This. They've been practising walking for months and now you want them to run? They're inexperienced at that, let them do what they're good at
>>219278127>No way to stay in contact with your unitBruh are you retarded?>In 1774, Georges-Louis Le Sage realised an early electric telegraph. The telegraph had a separate wire for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet and its range was only between two rooms of his home.[10]
>>219278528>m o m a r e t h e t e n d i e s r e a d y
>>219278675He was French you tard. It should be "maman are le tendies ready"
>>219278326Picture is a bit dark, but it's green, newfriend.You should know that.
>>219277437Grogan's all right. Barry's a cunt.
>>219278528>26 separate wires>range only within his own homeAny other retarded ideas?
>>219278740Your parents certainly had one.
>>219278316omg it's Major Sharpe he defeated Napoleon's battle wizard the Comte de Mordor and captured his conical hat with all the moons and stars on it!
>>219278745Seething brainlet
>>219278770Lets see your list of inventions>being LGBT all at once
Do soldiers really Kiss on the battlefield?
>>219278770>Your parents certainly had one seething brainlet
>>219278788only when there's not enough time for full anal intercourse
>>219278326Dumb nigger
>>219277498>lay down under ghillie suit >the enemy approaches and you fire off a shot>as you are frantically trying to reload a flintlock muzzleloader while laying down the massive plume of white smoke makes you clearly visible to the enemy>get slaughtered by skirmishers or cavalry
>>219278794>present mentally retarded idea>get called retarded>HURR UR MUMRetard
>>219278783I didn't call the invention retarded, i called his idea of using it retarded
>>219278826https://youtu.be/WPSQAZ_tQ0Q?t=20whoa easy there BLT
>>219278844https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPiF8HZAA1IIt's not OK to call you a retard, anon. Fortunately ARC is there to help.
>>219278316>1813. Sharpe is tasked with rescuing Wellington's favorite Piss Pot from the clutches of General Ennui, but a filthy new sergeant with evil schemes and a mysterious damsel with a great deal of cleavage have...
>>219278316Daragh O'Malley hated Sean Bean so much that he can frequently be caught in the background making throat-slitting gestures with his thumb during Bean's dialogue.
>>219278831Just keep rolling left and right until you finish reloading.ezpz
>>219277958Such a stupid fucking way of warfare. What the hell were they thinking not carpet bombing high class civilians?
>>219279154>gets bayonetted
>>219278316>Cheesy 80s guitar mixed with fife and drum intro plays>Small skirmish between the British and French>Sharpe flailing his sword around while Hagman gives cover fire>They win the skirmish>Messenger on horseback approaches>"Lieutenant/Captain/Major Sharpe, you are summoned to Lord Wellington's tent">"Bloody 'ell, Patrick. What's 'e want now?">Sharpe arrives in old Nosey's tent>His spymaster of the day is there>As is a weasel-looking British officer or French lord and an honorable but tragically young British officer>"Sharpe, this is Lord Fucksworth, who has a dangerous mission for you - you will be enormously outnumbered, deep behind enemy lines with no support, oh and Major Ducos is around so watch out for him.">Lord Fuckworth insults him for being a poorfag, but reluctantly accepts that this is Wellington's best man>"As ye like, sir. Ah'll get it dun.">Cut to Sharpe and Patrick discussing the mission>"It dun maek bloody sense, Patrick. Why do they need us to tek this castle/find this woman/get these supplies/uncover this plot?">"Oh, surely as the fields o' Ireland are green, sir. God has a plan for us, sir.">A few battles happen on the way to the objective in forts/towns that have clearly been abandoned and neglected for over a century>Hagman sings an angelic song>Harris reads/translates something>Oh, look. It's an attractive young woman who keeps looking at Sharpe suggestively>They fuck>"Look, Patrick! It's the thing we're here for!">"LOOK OUT, SIR.">Lord Fucksworth appears and betrays Sharpe>charming young officer introduced at the beginning of the episode dies tragically>Ducos appears>"HON HON HON! Bamboozled you again, my nemesis.">"Bloody Ducos.">Battle happens>Patrick goes "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BANG" with the 7-barrelled gun>Wellington arrives>"Well done, Sharpe! You've done it again.">Sharpe and his men march off into the sunset>THERE'S FORTY SHILLINGS ON THE DRUM...FOR THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER TO COME
>>219278740Direct current was the only current available at the time and was very short ranged. Alternating current wouldn’t allow long-distance transmission of electricity via wire until Tesla came along.Fun fact: Edison hated the fact that Tesla showed him up with AC. Edison’s plan was for every home to have its own DC power plant, an idea so fantastically retarded that it boggles the mind.
>>219279222The miniature of Sharpe is picked up and carried away by a cat in the middle of the first assault on the French fort.
>>219277437>>219277462fucking based and manly scene
>>219279172If you're wearing a ghillie suit then he can't see you.
>>219277437>>219277958Bitchniggers that don't know how volley firing works and why it's doneThat being said, usually you approach the enemy line only as closely as you can fire.Ideally while flanking the enemy with a secondary lineThat's the actual problem with that scene in Barry Lyndon.Normally, you would soften up the enemy with a couple volleys before engaging with bayonets. So the french (?) line should have been more beaten up. The walking is not even the problem. You don't want your men being too exhausted when they arrive at the enemy. You don't want them dead either, but that's why you soften up the enemy beforehand.>t. 5000 hours in Napoopan and Holdfast>inb4 "but that's just a game"Yeah but the logic and limitations are the same
>do nothing>win
