Title: 8/8, 8:28 a.m.
Post by: FierceKitty on 08 August 2014, 01:29:47 AM
Not one new post on the board for the pre-gunpowder eras (i.e. about 90% of history). What's happening to this hobby?

Just to get you warmed up: did the Romans, at the time of the Carthaginian and Macedonian wars, differentiate units using tunic colours or shield colours? If so, what variety of colours did they go for?

This looks like the sort of question that proves to be the seed of a hundred acrimonious posts on TMP.

We don't do acrimonious. We can't spell it for one thing....

W40k? Isn't that the stuff you spray on door-hinges to stop them squeaking?

Is the WD Arrow a pre-gunpowder missile?

But if you measure it in total number of people under arms? Since the invention of gunpowder, we haven't half crammed in a lot of warfare, and on a much grander scale.

Really? Measured as a % of the population?
