this is unironically the worst era of warfare to pick from. this is the cutoff point for when armies started just being outright better generation after generation. like if you put some roman legion against some crusaders you probably have a pretty near-run thing on your hand. a difference of a millennia or more and i would still say the general makes more difference than all the technical change that had occured in that time. put an army from the thirty years war and the napoleonic age against one another? ill take whatever the napoleonic one almost every time, despite the difference only being a few short centuries.
