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.

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.

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'.

I enjoyed how you tried to set the marines up for failure. A whole goddamn battery would NOT target 12 dudes. The AI, however, simply chooses the closest unit, regardless of number.

(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

[@lil_roons]

when you get scared :you see an onslaught of samurai walking on water.

[@tohnwurie759]

You know, from a historical perspective you basically can't take this seriously. But what if a small regiment of U.S Marines did go against a traditional Sengoku army? For one, the Japanese wouldn't just have sword-wielding foot samurai. They'd have a decent cavalry arm, lots of ashigaru, and plenty of matchlock guns. What they would totally lack is artillery. So, perhaps in the hands of a competent general, the samurai could win at heavy losses- assuming it's an army of veterans, the U.S soldiers would be destroyed in melee, and their muskets would be roughly matched by the range of an arqebus. I also think that at extreme range, a musket round might be less effective against metal armor, whereas the marines don't have armor and are vulnerable to any projectiles. So perhaps a skillful Japanese commander could play off his few advantages and win. It's unlikely, but at the same time medieval Japanese warfare is roughly analogous to medieval/pike-and-shot European warfare- and while the knight and the armored footman of a typical Renaissance army were obsolete by 1854, they were obsolete because conscription had become the established norm. The musket may have become deadly effective, but metal body armor continued to be used in limited success until WW1 (Brewster Body Armor, successful in stopping bullets but cumbersome) and WW2 (Russian SN armor, success proven by link: bag-of-dirt.tumblr.com/post/117804444520/portrait-of-a-young-soviet-pow-in-a-steel) So obviously the death of steel armor was a) the increasing power of the bullet but also accelerated by b) the difficulty in supplying steel armor to a post-Napoleonic army of conscripted commoner footmen. So I am actually going to say that a powerful Daimyo's army, if in competent strategic hands, might win. Shit, Shaka Zulu didn't have steel armor or cavalry and he kicked British ass a few times with good strategy- I think the Japanese have an even better chance. A Infantry Square ain't gonna do shit against 1,000 pissed-off ji-samurai with katanas and matchlocks. And anyone with a bayonet on his ungainly rifle is going to have a spear pushing through his throat.

[@alexlarvik3281]

Alexandro Quinteiro I totally agree. But by the end of that period the Japanese had developed cannons. And at that time the cannon was in such an infantile stage that a more perfected mangonel or trebuchet would've done equal if not more damage.

[@hazel5049]

Mmmm. This was not meant to be Historically accurate to my knowledge.

[@phelanlawson8384]

Alexandro Quinteiro Zulus won 2 major battles across the whole war they lost far more than they won. A handful of marines were sent to stop Tunisian pirates and they did there job. No doubt the samurai would have advantages but so would Marines. They aren't simple line infantry or militia, marines have always been knit and grit ever since they were founded. They are more skilled in a melee and extremely accurate. bayonets would be for precision strikes and sabres would have a style samurai would not be used to fighting. Not to mention officers had revolvers . Being modern is eastern Standards is not the same as western standards. Historically we know western guns beat eastern swords.
