long range: Nuke

melee: Nuke
armor: Nuke

This, except for terrain something heavily populated, oh and for armor: something made out of lead, to protect myself against the radiation of my own nuke.

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.
is this guy Prussian
is that a question
Its a Napoleonic joke!
I see, care to elaborate? I always thought the British were that civil. But perhaps the Prussians were even more so of course.
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.
There good books and the battles and tactics are fairly realistic just alot of the characters are unrealistic like every french man being evil.
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.

Hmm Thats Major Richard Sharpe and The British always tried to choose the battlefield the Battle of Corunna is a good example.
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)?
What I mean is there majority bad if you have any money in the sharp books your looking like your going to be evil on average.
Ill agree with you on average their evil but some of them aren't.
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.
He personaly didnt kill civilians but have you forgotten Oporto?

Wait... You know what the point behind the Nazi regime was, right? To make Germany strong after they had been crippled by the Treaty of Versailles. To do this, they united the country, and one of the ways of doing that was to eradicate the major things that split the population, like racism (you can't be racist if there are no minority races), homophobia (no-one can be homophobic if there are no gay people) and religious disputes (again, one religion means no trouble).

Now, before I get jumped on with people saying "ZOMG u suport da natzis!!!!11!!!11one!", I don't. I think they had a sound PRINCIPLE (unify a country to take it from poverty and economical deflation into one of the worlds superpowers), but the way that they went about it was VERY WRONG.

I think you may have entirely missed the point napoleon was really nothing odd about in history it was just empireism/imperialism it was the done thing then all about more land to tax for money. Not genocide!
