Who wins? 100 US Marines or the whole British army during the revolution?

MyNameIsCharlie · February 24, 2016, 02:41:47 PM

The Marines are arranged as a company with 3 platoons. 1) Light infantry with M-4's. Squad leaders have M203's. Each squad has a dedicated sharp shooter and a machine gunner with an LMG. 2) Mortars. Each squad has 3 mortars. 3) Transportation. The company is supported by 6 duece and a halves, and 3 unarmored humvees with SAWs on the turret. There is one refueling rig with enough gas for 1,000 miles for all vehicles.

The ENTIRE British Expeditionary Force sent to stop the US rebellion. All supply lines are intact, and they have all weapons used in the Revolutionary War. At its peak it was at over 120,000 men.

Who wins?

The marines could do a lot of damage but I can't really see them mowing down 120,000 men. Ameriburger tech isn't THAT good.

why mow down 120,000 when whole regiments will be surrendering after a hundred or so?

i'd imagine several thousand british would perish but they'd ultimately win

US would win like always

The Britfags would retreat back to their colonies. Oh wait...

Luciana · February 24, 2016, 02:50:45 PM

Probably the British, but history has shown the superior technologically advanced nation will always cause heavy heavy casualties.

Look at Cortez and his Spanish Conquistadors vs the Aztecs.

For real though, I cant imagine a few bursts of SAW fire or a 203 blowing up an officer not causing mass routes or surrendering of divisions. I know I'd be shitting myself if I was watching a whole three ranks of muskets get mowed down in seconds and from too far away to return fire.

You say that like its not exactly what happened.

The bongs obviously

Even if the marines went all gorilla warfare, it'd just be Boer war 3.0.

They thought they could hide in the veld, they thought wrong.

Depends a little bit on who is getting lit up, maybe some of the line regiments sure but there are a fair few well recorded instances of russkie tier advances for the great bonger army.

Officers biting the dirt in droves didn't make much difference to the highlanders when they were marching up a hill covered in trenches filled with riflemen.

It wouldn't penetrate but it'd hurt like a motherfucker and fuck up any unprotected limbs, but the marines would have rifles effective at quadruple the range of a musket against targets forced to line up and stay relatively still.

Elai · February 24, 2016, 03:15:18 PM

US probably. All it would take is a lot of casualties and some psychological warfare (like making it seem like they have more than 100 men... I can't see the Brits surrendering if they knew they were only facing 100 of the fucks. Just out of pride.)

How are the British supposed to fight a war when their government takes away pissant things like leathermans?

Genghis Khan · February 25, 2016, 05:07:54 AM

I think they would experience what the Germans did on the eastern front. Brits have more men than the US soldiers have bullets.

SecondClass · February 25, 2016, 05:20:41 AM

Depends 100% on how much ammo they have. Unlimited ammo + guerrilla and psychological warfare = marine win
