Your army?
#1
Post an army be detailed, what climate it's in, the era troops types and equipment, logistics, medical, how you would deal with a revolt how you would keep morale up etc. Stick to the era now (No hopolites with AK-47's) and no fantastical stuff like a fleet of megaldons

Have fun Smile

Don't forget to outfit your megladons with ludacris speed capabilities and inflatables for aquatic missions.

Any army with its contemporary equipment, no matter

Secure the area with regular troops and let loose penal units on the enemy.

If they are not with us they are against us. Shoot any one who resists and confiscate everything.

Keep any odd survivor to built infrastracture for our own colonists.

If any one slacks or seem of low morale threaten to abandon him in the penal units hunting ground.

100% success because dead guerrillas cant fight and dead civilians can´t aid the guerrillas.

Its inhuman bur the winner (us) can write history as we like so we can say that we killed them humanely.

Great Alec succeeded that way in Bactria (modern Afganistan).

Kind regards

by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."

What is a "hopolite"...?

I have not spent months gathering Hoplites from the four corners of the earth just to let
some Swedish pancake in a purloined panoply lop their lower limbs off!

Good one Ceannt,cant trust anyone but yourself to do the job. Recruit out here west along and youd have your own army in about 5 minutes!!!
Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.
