The British defeated the French at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, notably with the overwhelming use of longbowmen, assuming we avoid nuclear weapons, what do you think will be the next weapon to offer an overwhelming advantage?

“Long-time readers of comics will be given a nostalgic look at some of their favourites (…) while more recent fans will gain an insight into how the medium has developed over the years (…) The narratives of the early comics changed (with) Charley’s War, set in the first world war, and its unflinching gaze not on glory, but the horror of conflict.” #Comics #BritishComics #WarComics #PatMills #JoeColquhoun #CharleysWar #Battle #Commando #Hotspur #IPC #Rebellion https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/sep/16/british-war-comic-art-rescued-exhibition

In the 16,000-word epic #poem “Piper”, poet D.A. Lockhart describes in glorious #wrestling terms the #battle that determines the fate of Pelee Island with real life archfoes Rowdy Roddy Piper and Goldust #brawling while the Lenape #legend of Deerwoman is woven in.
The newly-created #myth is published in Lockhart’s new collection of poems called North of Middle Island, a love letter to an island worth fighting for.

Did you know that #AncientRome once tied a man between 2 chariots & ripped him apart?
Mettius Fufetius had promised Rome the assistance of Alba Longa against the Etruscans.
Except that he told the Etruscans that the Albans would desert the Romans.
And then he betrayed both sides by not joining the #battle at all.
Roman #king Tullus Hostilius was pissed!
He took Alba Longa, ordered all Albans to become Romans & executed Mettius.
This killing method was never used in Rome again.
Book Quote Wednesday
word of the week is #battle
from #DeadlyCourtship
Jasper's grief hit him like a wave. He could feel Ingrid watching him and tasted the acid tang of her disapproval. He kept his attention fixed on Bernard's body, and sang even louder.
As he and Ophelia had learned long ago, trying to please their family was a hopeless battle. Only Bernard had ever welcomed him on his own terms, and now Bernard was gone.

People trying to blame AI energy and water usage without having an idea of what a kWh is. Or not understanding the scale difference between 1000 and 1 million.
Come on guys, if you're good with words just fight OpenAI and Google with words, but do not undermine the common cause just because you're so poor with basic math and physics.
And Guardian's articles on this matter REALLY DO NOT HELP.

You’d think that by 2023 we would have had it figured out.
I mean, all the old movies and tv shows seemed to believe that at this point we would have flying cars.
It really couldn’t be further from the truth. In a world where we were supposed to have it all, we’ve completely lost the plot. It’s more of a 1984 world than it is a Jetsons world–and that is probably an understatement.
I know we’ve used up all of our luck, and I can see places where it is clear we have faltered. What else is there to do but bide our time waiting for the water wars? Climate change is… climate changing. It’s only a matter of time now, isn’t it?
We’re too far gone.
There’s nothing we can do aside from prepare and brace for impact.

I signed, closed the old, dusty journal, grabbed my gas mask and supplies, and prepared to head out into the hellscape the world had become.
“You clever girl,” I thought to myself. “You never knew how correct you would turn out to be.”

Did you know that the Battle of #Waterloo produced its own line...
...of #teeth?
"Waterloo Teeth" was a term that established itself after the 1815 #battle.
It expanded to all teeth extracted from battlefields.
A single row of teeth cost ~20 guineas (today: £2150) & was taken from both dead & wounded #soldiers. The teeth thieves scavenged at night, pulling front teeth. The origin wasn't off-putting, as it meant the teeth came from young, fit men.
One thief made 50k.

Considering Nathaniel's strengths and weaknesses, I recommend using the ⚔️ Melee, two-handed [1d12] option. Although it's out of range, it offers the best chance of defeating the Skeleton. Good luck, adventurers! 💪🛡️🗡️ #dnd #adventurers #battle [3/3]
Ukraine counteroffensive 'advances': 80th Airborne Brigade return to Bakhmut
# University of Wyoming sorority hits back at members who sued over trans sister
* Seven members of the #KappaKappaGamma #sorority at the #UniversityOfWyoming #sued the sorority in March, alleging that it violated its own #rules by #admitting a #trans #woman, #ArtemisLangford.
* The sorority has now filed a #MotionToDdismiss the #lawsuit, #arguing that the term "#woman" is "unquestionably open to many interpretations."
* The sorority also #argues that the #members who sued are #NotEntitled to #relief because they did not suffer any actual #harm.
* The lawsuit is still pending, and it is unclear how the court will rule.
* The members who sued the sorority allege that they were #forced to #share #bathrooms and sleeping quarters with Langford, which made them feel #uncomfortable.
* They also allege that the sorority's decision to admit Langford violated the sorority's own #rules, which state that members must be "#biologically #female."
* The sorority has #denied these #allegations, and it has argued that Langford is a woman, regardless of her biological #sex.
* The lawsuit is part of a larger #legal #battle over the rights of transgender people.
* In recent years, there have been a number of lawsuits challenging laws that restrict the rights of transgender people, such as laws that ban transgender people from using public bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

It is accepted that #CivilWar was a man's fight. Images of women during that conflict center on self-sacrificing #nurses, romantic spies, brave ladies maintaining #homefront in the absence of their men.

And based on my #survey of the #demographic #landscape, he's winning the #battle between #good and #evil hands down.
Consider: a recent PRRI survey still finds that 71% of #americans identify as christian. Make no mistake, #christianity is evil on multiple levels. My #argument follows

He's some #writingadvice: Writing a fight scene (and to a certain degree a sex scene) is not about describing the movement of limbs, jaws, and bodies. You are not writing choreography. You are writing about people who are attempting to do something with other people who have a totally different idea of the outcome they want.
First and foremost, describe what your POV sees, feels, hears, and if applicable tastes and smells. Blood has a distinctive ferric taste and smell, and no one appreciates the range of scent perceived having their nose mashed into a sweaty chest.
Remember there's propriosception. Humans or beasts move through space, making or missing contact, sweeping limbs, snapping nasal cartilage. Keep in mind the physics of launching oneself or limbs through space. Vectors. Momentum. Expected or unexpected trajectory changes.
Impacts on armor and flesh sound totally different. So does the whistle of sweeping swords, the hiss of javelins in the air, arrows springing from bows, or the metallic click of gun misfiring. If you plan to use armor or weapons, play with objects and fling them around for yourself, bashing and banging with abandon. Make your reader be there.
Contrary to Hollywood, a good hit can be fatal or knock an opponent down. Prizefighters make contact and defend well. Regular folk miss a lot, stumble, bounce off when they make glancing blows (which is most of the time), and have lots of trouble managing momentum. Defense often means taking damage like cracked bones, cut skin, or bruises; nothing is clean.
Damage always hurts, and different people have wildly different pain thresholds that have no relationship to gender. Expect screaming and crying, grunts and hysterical laughing. Or silence, painful and ominous. The bruises and bashes, along with torn clothing, will persist into subsequent scenes. A little blood goes a long way, and it doesn't take much to make it look like a horror scene. Worse, it is hard to clean on the spot, and really hard to hide. After just a few minutes, damage interferes with movement, the bounce in one's step, and makes further fighting more difficult and more dangerous.
On the highest level, there's the aspect of what the character thinks they are doing, admits that happened, and how they justify their choices of strategy or running/not running. Most people don't fight and don't want to; that's why it is what fascinates readers most: The why and the how? Is it fun? Or is the fighter deluding themself? What does the fighter fear: loss, the opponent, or weakness? Do they deride the other, making fun, or do they have a running horror movie playing in their head as they rocket toward dismemberment? Everyone has an opinion, and being able to effectively fight requires judgements that the reader should hear, will want to hear. Make them snarky or zen; just don't make them ordinary.
Describe judgements and opinions, feelings, more than any "move"—and certainly never name a move! Naming a move is like calling a milkshake a dessert, or worse, food—instead of a reward earmed as a child specifically for knocking down the quarterback to win the football game. Sticking with the sports theme, a good fight scene is what happened, the history it evokes, and the prize (cup or ring) that inspired the announcer go on and on about.
Physical description has a place, but eluding and implying by giving meaning is the key to greatness—for the fight scene or the sex scene. In both cases, it is animal. Aim for the book of poetry, primal or sublime, not the book of anatomy.

As an artist, I love shifting between sci-fi and fantasy art. This one was done during a nice afternoon full of coffee and laughter with Alejandro Burdisio and many other great artists.
Having the chance of learning from Alejandro is a unique opportunity. Back to basics! Work on your palette, strong compositions, storytelling... and enjoy painting!

Hello, here's my #Introduction.
Research mainly focused on #prosopography & social #networks of military service, esp. 14th cent England: patterns of recruitment; character of #armies & #warfare across Europe & beyond. Recently applying these methods to the #maritime sphere: England’s merchant fleet & #naval forces during the 100 Years War. Plan to return to: the place of #battle in the fabric of late medieval warfare, and perhaps also to medieval #Hungary. For broader interests, see bio above.
