Johnny Malone Cale Darksun Johnny Malone Cale Darksun Johnny Malone Cale Darksun And who you're playing against. pirate Yes, this does look to be promising. So much going on in only a handful of pages. Des? He's good but I am sure he is no tactical genius. I meant me. Des has as much material knowledge and tactical cunning as Palpantine. He's a schemer, not a commander. I know it was you, just thought I would try and ruffle your feathers. My biggest problem is that I know Medieval tactics but don't know much about more modern military tactics. So I should expect alot of massed heavy cavalry charges and a complete lack of ranged weaponry among your troops with the bulk of your infantry culled from the peasantry of your conquered lands suplantd by amoral mercenaries. Gotcha. That's why I need to brush up on other tactics. I want to try something different. do yourself a favor and look up the military career of a man named Jan Zizka.

Dude, Jan Zizka's the man who led Czech Protestants to repeatedly beat the bloody piss out of the creme of the Teuton Knighthood! The Man was a Mercenary who found a cause, invented the tank, the tacic of circling wagons, and aided the construction of the massive Bohemiean Flail!

Yeah, his name is at the bottom left hand corner of the painting. Man was a BAMF.

Hells yes.
Even when completely blind he managed to marshall his soldiers to victory.
The Statue of him outside Prague is the largest free standing equestrian statue in the world.

I think I will look to him when planning my army. It is known that I am turning all of my planets into one giant warmachine. It would make sense for me to use the peasentry.

You'd probably want to look more at Alexander, Philip, and Scippio Africanis(SP?).
Understand your situation and the exploit it along similar lines.

Thanks, it looks like I have a lot of research ahead of me. (If only European Military History was offered sooner... alas I must wait until next year to take that class.)

Independant research is the only real way to go about this, mate.
