@The Harbinger of Ferocity I completely agree. Mostly because the guy he said it about was black. Those articles you posted aren't on the soldier in question.

@Andreyich Not sure if you remember this, but a few weeks back you scoffed at the notion of the sidesword and backsword being put into the same or similar category. I remembered it tonight and got somewhat curious on your reasoning since I'll be writing my sword article soon. Was it a historical perspective, or how they were used?

@POOHEAD189

The design. What is referred to as a "backsword" tends to more often than not have a blunt side of a blade (which was often subsequently sharpened, but what is important here is lack of symmetry for backsword which tended to be found in a side sword) finger protection rather than a crossguard or "knuckleguard," and finally they sometimes would have a little part of the blade than gets thinner in an oval shape which I can't name right now in English for the life of me. These differences lead to the side sword dying out post-"renaissance" with the backsword staying live and we'll into the 19th century.

HWNDU chapter 7 is happening. Let's see how long it takes them to get it this time.

I love how the writers over at the independent are retarded enough to call the FPO far-right. I can't decide to giggle or be sad.

The Blue and the Gray: Harrison's Valley

As the cavalry men went south to the river crossing, so would spring the natives out in front of them trying to them off from the path to the crossing. They knew that the men were mounted and as such much faster potentially able to get past them. However, in an effort to stop this they would all start to right away fire any and all firearms they had as well as sending a few burning arrows lit via match; the aim was not to kill but to simply get the horses to bolt in every which direction from fear; a few however would not form the line to stop the prevent of their escape and instead would line the side of the forest also shooting. Meanwhile, from behind the blacks would start running like hell towards the cavalry's flank to hopefully form up and open fire with their rapidly shooting bolt-action rifles. They simply had to get in range first. Hopefully this attempt at encirclement would be enough to completely annihilate their force with minimal casualties. If they failed to block them off then they had another plan. Since the horsemen would be crossing water and much slower, then they would try to form a firing line at a forty-five degree angle to the river so that they could get off free-shots at the horsemen who would be impeded by the waters, particularly if they didn't dismount.

Meanwhile, on the other front the Union men had some issues. They were only seven-hundred, and the town wasn't a fort, there weren't that many proper firing positions. While they were somewhat fortified, if the union men tried to storm the town they'd be annihilated. However, this state of affairs wouldn't be for long, they hoped (and so it was). The last of the infantry men in the North train station had boarded, and they were off while the men from Critchley's farm were crossing the waters to also head down south. Elsewhere, the British cavalry, the mortars and the two Gatling guns were waiting for the train to return so that they could board, and also reinforce the isolated troops. Finally, the artillery would still be heading over to the North side of the stream where they could set up, but a few of the artillery spotters complained. It appeared that this was not an ideal firing position and without a telegraph they could receive few communications. It would appear they'd have to cross south on the bridge when there weren't any trains going, and then head south. They just hoped they wouldn't arrive to late, since their progress was slow what with all the wagons and carts.

must be trick photography or something

@mdk

I am not aware of the full ramifications of this, is there a lot of sexual abuse in hollywood that isn't protested or is this a reference to "made up" sexual abuse cases?
