[@StarFoth]

Samurai spend their whole lives training and meditating. They hone their blades and some believed the katana of the samurai was spiritually linked to its owner. Becoming a samurai was a lifetime commitment and it meant honor in its deepest form. It takes a factory a couple of hours to make a full batch of rifled muskets and about 2 weeks to learn everything you need to work it.

[@BifronsCandle]

StickManVS I agree. I think that if there is a line, it should be WW1 where formation warfare died out. Aside from a Victorian era total war, they could also make one for renaissance pike and shot (1500-1700), the Three Kingdoms, Bronze or Iron age, or the Mongols, which could stand in for Medieval 3. Not to mention lots of fantasy titles since they're working on Warhammer.

> a small US Marines force 4,400 men

[@hansgryphon2944]

Compared to the Samurai

[@Epz15]

Hans Gryphon a third is hardly considered small when we are talking thousands of men. Figure out how much is usually in a marine force and compare it to 4,400.

[@Necroskull388]

Link 8 Using modern standards? Yeah, 4,400 is a lot. But massive pitched battles were common back then, a battle with only 16,000 soldiers could be considered minor. And the Samurai had a 3 to 1 numbers advantage on the Marines, so I'd say that the Marine force was pretty small.

[@Epz15]

Dagda Mor You are not grasping the point, there are 4,400 fucking marines fighting a pitched battle. Numbers that large are unheard of for marines and pitched battles are dead and gone. And 16,000 is not a minor battle, you've been tricked into thinking that battles were massive fights between 100,000s of men - nope.

[@julianhernandez5656]

3:07 look at those Canon loans coming

Historically though, there were actually alot of upsets in battle losses for the modern armies during these conflicts. Some of them are really remarkable

[@GeraltofRivia22]

Yeah, but those are special circumstances, such as Isandalwana and Little Bighorn. A prepared, entrenched modern arm at this time would absolutely destroy any native army many times their size. Look at Rorke's Drift, or the Battle of Blood River.

Can you Otakus just stop saying that 'The US has no honour', Honour dont mean jack shit. It was a huge part of Japanese warrior culture, but even then most samurai were scumbags, not much different from Knights of the Middle Ages. Honour does not mean anything on the Battlefield.

[@TheRedex123]

true

[@thenorthenface2731]

+Richard Wheeldon And the samurais used shit tons of guns themselves

[@hazel5049]

The Northenface In the later period of Japan, sure enough. It was more effective, so why bother with swords? Real Bushido right there.

[@hazel5049]

***** True. Granted, they did duel, however by that same logic snobby Englishmen from the 1700s are also incredibly honourable. They were a well armed, fighting social elite that would do anything to win, save a few exceptions. In short, they were no different than knights.

[@GentlemanBystander]

+Blank Ball The cute part was the "honor" thing wasn't even a factor in Japanese warfare until there was no longer Japanese warfare. The Gekkokujo and Sengoku were all about sneak attacks, hidden alliances, and fostering internal betrayal.

[@jinglered8286]

[@sonicblast5042]

Damn 17:00 marines turn n ran when the samurais charging.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

The careful use of retreating and regrouping near the end is why the marines won this battle. If they had entered melee, they wouldn't have been able to gun them down from multiple angles the way they did, luring the samurai into the fire. Of course when only 10% of your men survive it's hardly a 'victory'.

it was ... epic ... but I see two problems with this fight (and maybe more but others are due to the game itself) 1: the Americans are clearly on a field that benefits them, flat, and modify to have zones of shooting and trenches ... and especially ... deforested ... the kind of ground hard enough to find in japan 2: the samurai have spent more time to walk than to run, this which involves taking more bursts ... (after the main other problem that does not come from the viodeo, it is the Ricans who fight with the saber instead of the ballionnete ... I understand the developer, model a duel katana / ballionnete would have been pretty hard ...) ... but otherwise ... fucking good video ... poor samurai
