The Chinese have conquered Vietnam ridiculous amounts of time. Sometimes random warlords would lay waste to it for no reason other than boredom. Also the British conquered Ireland, and beat the Spanish and Irish together once.Furburt said:

Battle of Karánsebes. It was a self inflicted defeat by the Austrians trying to fight the Turks. It didn't end so well.

does D-day count? if i remmber correctly, that was the worst loss of tropps in every war evear.
I find it odd that I had pulled up wikipedia, ready to quote the same figures for the same battle...Wadders said:Pretty sure it was The Battle of the Somme in the Great War. More than 1 million people died in the space of like 5 months. Thats gotta be up there with the nastiest military operations ever.
It also was the scene for the most bloody day in British combat history. We had 57,470 casualties (dead/wounded/missing) in one day! Yes, I say again, 57,470 men killed or wounded in ONE DAY
Info thanks to wiki/ my WW uni lecturer

Holy shit!
Yeah, my surname is Waddington hence Wadders, which is my mates nickname for me - I guess our friends have pretty similar mindsets
Awesome to meet another person with the same/similar name, I've only ever found 1 other Wadders, and he was on CoD4, from Leeds or somwhere
Surely Alexander the Great, the Battle of Gaugamela. It led to the fall of the Persian empire.
Or the Battle of Cannae were Hannibal bumfucked the Romans.
Possibly the Battle of Carrhae. Were the Romans were decimated by the Parthians.

We need to form some sort of League of Extraordinary Wadders, a traipse the internet solving crimes and playing MW2.Wadders said:Holy shit!

Failing that, we can comfortably bask in the knowledge that there are only a select few Wadders in the world, obviously destined to rule the world.
I agree with this. Especially given it was completely unnecessary and undertaken because orders had been misunderstood.WINDOWCLEAN2 said:
