What's the era of warfare you're most interested in?

[Ed Anger]

Pike and shot for leisure, modern for business.

Hey baby. Wanna see my Wallenstein?

[Iormlund]

The older the better - but I also enjoy anything from 1905 onwards.

Wanna see my Kongo?

[CountDeMoney]

The end of it.

Gay ass answer.  And you're not even European.

[Brazen]

Hey baby. Wanna see my Wallenstein?

Your serpent would never reach my pan.

I'm weird since my two favorite periods are in one hand the Ancient World (those Roman upstarts...) and the industrial era in the other.

[CountDeMoney]

I really like the Age of Reason, there's a certain romanticism with that, but I like Modern Hypothetical--the shit that never went down...Berlin '63, SACEUR Haig* repelling the 3rd Shock in the Fulda Gap with TOW-mounted M113s and M60As in '79, Lehman's 600-ship Navy asspounding Murmansk airfields in '86, relieving the blockade of Taiwan in '25, stuff like that.




*First assclown that makes a poor reference to Ypres, Watergate or the grammatically and legiitimately correct statements of 1981 gets to root for Bannedistan in the World Cup today.

How did you two even end up on Paradox, let alone here? 

My interest in history has never been on the military side.

Yeah, I'm kind of the same. I picked industrial because that's what I've been most interested in and have read the most on. I also like ancient classical periods, Romans, Greeks, etc. as I find the ways of warfare then to often be very innovative in the tactics used. Such as Caesar besieging a city in Gaul with fortifications facing towards the city, and another line facing outwards towards the enemy relief forces.

Line infantry for me.  End of pike era to Napelonic era.  Ranged battles, blocks of infantry moving with canon fire above their heads, cavalry charge on the flanks... oh that might be my last Empire playthrough

[Neil]

Steel warships.  Let's say 1880-1945.

[Admiral Yi]

It's easier to name the shitty ones than a favorite one.

[Razgovory]

There is something to be said for the days when generals would actually lead their men on the field, and when neighbors would stand shoulder to shoulder giving and receiving fusillades.

[Siege]

I hate war.

[Siege]

There is no option for future warfare in that poll.

You know, post-singularity conflicts and what not.
