Did Britain beat the US in a fight? The war ended with the British losing the last Sea and Land battle's and letting the US of really lightly , it just seems to be the same old thing again where this subject is concerned.
So the last land Battle for the British was effectively a defeat and the last major Naval Battle was a defeat and now and armastice is signed with once again the British coming out second best, how is this any different from the usual Union beats everyone turn of events
Ah but don't forget if a war with the US did break out most of them wouldn't want to fight/or would want to be Americans so that number would fall significantly
How can I put this there have been quite a number of alternate history's on this subject some of which have been published and its always and American author and its always the same story. It would make a nice change to see the British contribution to be more than incompetent cannon fodder. I...
Oh the British have lost again!
I really don't get it? Where is the appeal in something where the outcome is always so utterly predictable each time?
Why not just cut to the end and just say the Union wins and the British are given the traditional humiliating trouncing that always takes place...
Because as usual its one rule for the British and another for the Americans. Some people seem to be unable to handle the idea that there may be a middle ground where the British are something other than arrogant, bumbling incompetent's and the Americans are not all infallible war gods. Unless...
This is turning into another everyone v TFSmith121 thread and really what's the point? Your never going to shift him from his Brits suck at everything/Merica is invincible position so it just going to go round and round again like usual.
That's it this turning into a wank now! Not only have you had the British win a battle on land but now they have managed to get through one at sea without making a total mess of things. Not one ship ran aground or crashed into another one and the Shore Batteries failed to sink any of them when...
So there may be one, which isn't much compared to all the usual one way traffic, it does seem however that EC isn't giving the British Commanders their traditional lobotomy they always receive from American Authors so we shall how that pans out.
Never seen anyone say this either, I've seen plenty of arrogant, idiot British (with various degrees of evil villainy) being crushed by infallible Americans who invent various wonder weapons on the way. Have yet to witness one instance of operation Imperial Storm whatever that may be or...
Would be nice to get through one discussion on this subject without the usual sniping, it seems that any mention of alternate events that may have the British doing better against the US are pretty much heresy to some people. Does make it hard to have a straight forward conversation on the...
