  2. Re: Why didn't Austria-Hungary back down to the british ultimatum in 1914?

    Yes, Britain soon sues for at least a white peace or a ceasefire.

  4. Re: Why didn't Austria-Hungary back down to the british ultimatum in 1914?

    Well, it wasn't obvious at the time(duh :) ).

    Not to mention that Italy was still game at the time.

    I believe a lot of historiography and basically everyone else completely ignores the colossal...

    Sorry, not buying it.

    I know of no armor form that was split in such a manner.

    We need more info and imagery of it.

    Sigurd I Magnusson should be mentioned.

    Re: Barefoot Hoplites?

    You misread the intent of those two sentences.

    Though, now that I re-read them, I understand why.

    It was more of a "well everyone depicted barefoot dudes, doesn't mean much" argument.

  31. Re: How did Samurai kill each other on the battlefield?

    I second the notion of pike bashing being silly.
