    Eh. I’m still convinced it could have been better, and resulted in less death.

    After watching scenes from The Patriot, I was thinking ”why not kneel, or go prone!?”

    But no, let’s just stand up right and risk getting hit in the head by a cannonball.

        The moment breach loaders became available Prussia used them to absolutely destroy Austria-Hungary and their muzzle loaders in battle.
        This shows that the soldiers back then where limited by technology not their intellect.
