I know that war is hell and all that shit, but since we're all so spiritually advanced and hardcore around here, what war would you want to travel back in time to fight in, if you could do so?

And you'd still lose, you Tranisary.
Yes obviously
This thread isn't 'which war would you choose to fight in and oh only on the side of the victor'
Imagine fighting for losers. Go ahead. Imagine it.
Americans do it all the time
>Jews
>Losers

I'd like to witness the Battle of Leipzig in person. The spectacle of Napoleonic warfare is something that seems fantastic to see
Trafalgar, if at sea. If it has to be on land, one of Napoleon's battles, maybe Wagram or Austerlitz.
I don't want to fight in wars because i'm not a stupid drone.
Maybe you would prefer a revolutionary type of war then? If I were black my answer would totally be the Haitian Revolution.
You could just be Polish, would be pretty based tbh.
I would to witness how the armies during the 30 Years War fought on a more detailed level. I have a theoretical understanding on how it should work but I still can't quite picture it. For instance: how many formations were there? Under which circumstances were the different modi of fire used? When was the time for an advance with the pikes? How was small scale skirmishing handled?
>revolutionary type of war then
Definitely during the sadly failed German Revolution of 1848 - and I would actually fight there for the revolutionaries. And if there is the possibility for time travel then it might not fail this time.
God this is based. The 30 years war must have been the most interesting time militarily on the planet. The armies we're huge but people were still trying to figure out guns and knights were still kinda around too. Must have been insane to be a part of
I'd fight with Caesar in Gaul just for the pure kino of it all.
>fight with Caesar

Forget OP, which commander would you travel back in time for
Ottoman-Habsburg Wars, with the Spanish of course
Vicksburg campaign, Western theater of the American Civil War
Which side?
Union
Based.

probably argurable 200 years early or even charlemagne 700-plantagenent since frederick barbarossa 1000
Some small scale colonial war like queen Anne’s war or Napoleons Egypt campaign
Cannae
Frick yeah
I'm with the "Cannae" people who are going full ancient warfare on this one. I wanna ride with Alexander. And maybe ride Alexander.
American Revolutionary War. Look at the casualties and it is by far the least bloody Revolution ever so I have a high chance of living.
I'd be a Chekist in the Bolshevik revolution.
First I would round up my neighbours and torture their kids in front of them until they give me all the food they've been hoarding.
Then I'd shoot them and send their besprizornye children to a re-education camp, so they become Chekists like me.
I would burn my neighbours' homes with all valuables INSIDE, since they are the memories of a feudal past and we're building the society of the future.
As I'm driving with my mates back to the HQ, I'd arrest a couple of random people because they look like someone who would christen himself in front of a church.
At the HQ I bully these random people into giving up the names of all their relatives, whose kids I torture as well and whose homes I burn as well.
When the Revolution is over, I get a job as a paper pusher in the capital of some central Asian SSR. I hear people speak German and Korean every day.
I am eventually arrested, sent to a labour camp and shot in 1938 for counter-revolutionary activities, involvement in Trotskyite-Kautskyan terrorism and political defeatism.

Alexander's campaign
Depends if I'm dressing up as a confederate or union soldier and whether I'm saving Anne or Margot.

I would choose to ride with Jebe and Subutai against the kipchaks and feast while we crush their princes to death. I just love horses bros
Based. I've barely been around horses but I love steppe chads.
Horses are interesting animals, and dogs are too. Steppenigs were beyond based. It would be a shitty life for the average person though. Theres a reason they raided and assimilated so quickly. I was lucky enough to hang out with a shaman in kyrgzstan a few years back and a well made yurt is peak comfy

Nice, how'd that happen? My sister did Peace Corps there.
>55 day at Beijing
Holy Alliance of Habsburg Spain, Northern Yuan, Jurchen confederate and Toyotomi Japan.
Probably Dutch and English joint the invasion too.

The War Betwixt the States
Being a big time hema gay, any war in which I can fight in full plate armor and a longsword.
Why a longsword? I thought that was actually kind of a meme weapon?
Because frick you I like it.
That's a fine reason but what do you like about it?
>According to a newspaper of the time, in November 1914, Turkish troops destroyed Christian properties and murdered several Christians at Trabzon. After November 1914 Ottoman policy towards the Greek population shifted; state policy was restricted to the forceful migration to the Anatolian hinterland of Greeks living in coastal areas, particularly the Black Sea region, close to the Turkish-Russian front. This change of policy was due to a German demand for the persecution of Ottoman Greeks to stop, after Eleftherios Venizelos had made this a condition of Greece's neutrality when speaking to the German ambassador in Athens. Venizelos also threatened to undertake a similar campaign against Muslims that were living in Greece if Ottoman policy did not change. While the Ottoman government tried to implement this change in policy, it was unsuccessful and attacks, even murders, continued to occur unpunished by local officials in the provinces, despite repeated instructions in cables sent from the central administration. Arbitrary violence and extortion of money intensified later, providing ammunition for the Venizelists arguing that Greece should join the Entente.
Also Venizelists escalade so called pro-democracy aggression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Schism
Is right thing go war with murderer Turks or joined central powers?
Battle of Narva so i could tell the king to burn St.Petersburg to the ground and kick russia out of the baltic

For me, Join Vietnamese against 1979 invaders.
any bronze age war
Battle of Manzikert. I'd kill Andronikos Doukas if I could and warn Romanos of the treachery that's about to come.
Gulf War. Total roflstomp with minimal casualties, just have to avoid the chemical shit. No, not antiquity where I'm exposed to the elements, at risk of getting awful diseases, infected wounds, stabbed to death etc. Would rather blow up some poor bastards from the comfort of a multi million dollar jet.
WW1 and just force my head over the trenches until its over.
surviving rorke's drift on the side of the british would make me the ultimate Black person slayer but i'd rather take part in the spanish conquests of mainland america. would be more adventerous. get me some of that indigenous poon and sprinkle bastards all over the new world.
