has charging thousands of feet across open terrain with little to no cover against a heavily entrenched enemy who has artillery ever worked or is it just a meme tactic?

>>63977677 (OP)
It still works too this day

>>63977686
So is this the new braindead spam you've been scripted to distribute.

>>63977677 (OP)

it's all ziggers to me

Thing about the sun is, it moves.

Never realized the flanking by the Vermont brigade.

What a gigantic cluster fuck.

>>63977959

Fun fact, if you watch the 1993 movie Gettysburg you can actually the Vermont brigade's flanking maneuver just after Hancock gets shot.

>>63977902
sometimes it's dark inside buildings

>>63977686
how would the battle of gettysburg differed if the confederates had chinook helicopters, m16 rifles, m249s saws, and humvees with gpmgs and agls?

>>63978027
>inside buildings

>>63977959
Put the Vermonters ahead baybeeeeee!
Fear the fucking deer!!!

>>63977702
There's something about german words that makes anglos do the letter switcheroo. I've seen it happen too many times not to see a pattern.

>>63977686
what narrative is this supposed to support? i can't get into your schizo head so i don't know how this computes for you.

>>63977686
>thousands of feet
They literally just got dropped off by a chinook
>>63978414
/pol/jeets coping that infantry existing on a battlefield is totally the same as ziggers repeatedly sending piecemeal assaults of unsupported infantry against fortified defenses

>oh cool a civil war thread
>look inside
>it's all third worlder ukraine shit

>>63978075
>dude just lob explosives into buildings with civilians in them lmao

>>63979746

To be fair, North-South shitflinging isn't any better.

>>63979746

To be fair, the typical North-South shitflinging most American Civil War threads degenerate into isn't any better.

>>63977677 (OP)
it worked a few times for cossacks in wwi

>>63978073
>completely bypass Buford and drop a couple battalions of men on Little Round Top, Cemetery Ridge, and Culp's Hill with Chinooks
>battle effectively over before it can begin

>>63979746
entire board is like this since the eglin kedditor takeover. It will take a decade if ever to heal.

Report for mobilization, Ivan.

>>63979815
Which is too bad, really.

>>63977941
That's why they're mounted in such a way that you can flip them up.

>>63978073
O.K., now you have me thinking of ACH-47s with 4 Napoleons sticking out the port-side portholes.

>>63977677 (OP)
Why didn't they just use the waist-high walls and 3rd-person cover system like they do in my videegames?

>>63980126

The only stone wall was the one the Union was occupying. Most video games don't let you use fences for cover either.

>>63977677 (OP)
it works when your own artillery works.

>>63977677 (OP)
It worked at Austerlitz in 1805. Of course, it was Napoleon and he had morning fog on his side.

>>63979842
>eglin kedditor
LOL seething thirdie

>>63979842

Report to Engels for mobilization, Ivan.

>>63977902
here's the same explanation from the last time you posted this in reaction to the video.
>Nigga they're wearing the goggles DOWN, as in blinding themselves running to the target building
No they aren't, they're hinging them sideways. The arm is down, but the tubes are above eye level. This is common practice.

>>63977959
We are very lucky the confederates were so fucking stupid.

>>63977677 (OP)
The battle of missionary ridge

>>63977677 (OP)
IIRC the idea was Lee had spent time drawing forces from the center, and the charge would be against a lightly or lesser defended center. Even with the artillery, I think Lee was relying on less infantry as a screening. If you can push through heavy artillery fire, the artillery itself is never usually hard to deal with. See Charge of the Light Brigade for a similar example. The cannons ripped apart the charge but when they reached the Russian guns, they were still able to dispatch them, for a time (with other issues more pressing). Why the charge failed IIRC was moreso the infantry that the Union had more infantry than expected who were able to hold the Confederates in place for lack of a better term, the unmolested artillery still was able to fuck them up. Had they successfully breached and split and been able to maneuver their artillery things might have gone differently. TL:DR weakening the center and charging through had worked for Lee in the past and had a chance to work here, it is a good tactic if you have less supplies/men then the enemy and a determined charge can disrupt command and morale and lead to victory if you maintain an offensive tempo. But too many defenders slowing you down and it WILL fail.

>>63981729
Talk about an humiliation
Thomas and Grant were goated

>>63984991
They didn’t even really order the attack. The troops decided to literally just yolo it and it fucking worked.

>>63981729
Fun little story, as the Union troops are rushing over the crest of Missionary Ridge a Union Colonel sees an officer from the neighboring regiment hop onto a cannon like it was a horse and start waving his hat around. Inspired the Colonel jumped onto a cannon himself, unfortunately he chose one that had just been fired and bot burns all along his groin

>>63977677 (OP)
It can work, you just need to put in the time and effort to shape the ground for it. For example at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704 the decisive blow was made by the Anglo-Allied Center Column against the French center, but only after Marlborough had fixed the Franco-Bavarian left in place and threatened the right severely enough to draw reinforcements away from the center leaving them without support.

>Hannibal Barca masses his war elephants at Zama
>Internally narrates in a voice like Javier Bardem that he is going to do a mega charge into Scipio's lines
>Scipio looks down into a puddle at his own reflection while doing a Joker Smile (the Senate always said that he did the CREEPIEST Joker Smile) while laughing to himself
>He suddenly looks up with his finger pointing straight out and his cape flowing in the wind like an anime
>"My loyal niggas of Rome, everybody scooch over and let those elephags run past you"
>Elephants charge and go through the open lanes instead of stomping Romans
>Velites with throw their spears at the elephants and one of the spears actually goes up an elephant's butthole and it trumpets and cums before dying (elephant prostate was pierced)
>While they're fighting Hannibal then sees some black guy named Massa Nasty come charging in with his cavalry (unfortunately all black too)
