what long ranged weapon would you have? An 18th century rifle.
what melee weapon? A rapier, with its matching gauge.
what armor? None, of course. I am a gentleman!
what kind of terrain is there? How should I know? Being a gentleman I let the opponent choose the battlefield
who would be the enemies? Ze French!
how would you fight? (stealth,up front,more long range,brawn,strategy) Honourably.
Well the use of Ze automatically moves away from being British. Secondly the idea that the British would fight fare is a complete joke the semi suicidal nature of letting his opponent chose that battle field sounds very Prussian. Alot people have alot misconceptions about the British well outside of Europe.
Well said I suppose. Come to think of it, the British weren't too keen on letting the enemy choose the battle field, but as far as I have read, their officers did try and fight fair. Though, I got most to all of my information from a series of novels about the British private Richard Sharpe (by Bernard Cornwell, marvellous books). That guy might have been a bit biased.
Hmm so Prussian it is. Not bad I suppose. Even though they don't have green jackets.
Actual Prussian uniforms are black with silver of white trim they look quite evil in a ridiculously imperial way. And the Prussians had really good tactics for training troops just some of there nobles where nuts, like leading the charge first when your a baron is a bit odd. Also sharp is fairly historically inaccurate apart from northerners being good at fighting and the Voltaire quotes.
I suppose so. But in Cornwell's credit, he did have historical notes at the end of each book, noting assumptions, possible inaccuracies, or downright make belief happenings. At least they gave me a good first impression on the way wars were fought there. I always used to have a distaste for that time period, these books made me interested and actually made me like the game Empire: Total War.
Hey! Not every guy, remember that one guy in some march during the Peninsula war? I think he waved to Sharpe and shrugged or something. And there were others too, too bad my memory is so crappy. But I do recall some fair officers here and there.

You're very right about choosing the battlefield, didn't think that part through very well. And why Major? Why not Lt. Colonel? Or don't you consider those books part of the story (which I can't blame you for really)?
quite majority french people weren't evil at the time hell even Napoleon wasn't evil he just wanted to make his country strong and spread atheism, he dint kill civilians his army was not cruel or evil like Nazis just like wars at that time just bigger.
Long Range: Silenced Pistol
Melee: Roman Spatha Sword
Armour: Pretty Much what Sam Fisher wears
Terrain: Deep Jungle
Fight Style: Stealth Assassination
Enemies: I would be a mercenary so whoever/whatever my client pays me to kill. As well as the occasional boy band fan. And Orphan.

Yer and the British sacked there allies and one incident they arnt like at every place they captured so more a low point than a reflection upon the whole era.
