Re: OT: Archery in combat
How long before a modern warship becomes inoperable due to complete lack of supply and replacement parts?
How many people on a US warship have archaic international language and diplomacy skills?
How well does morale, discipline, and mental health survive this time warp scenario?
Why would the captain decide to become a world-dominating powermonger, and if he did, how would his command structure and loyalty of subordinates evolve?
One of my cousins and a friend got into this discussion once about twenty years ago. I think my dad had the correct answer (besides just ignoring it as multidimensionally silly): if a handful of time-warped modern people with some modern equipment thought they could use the equipment to rule the ancient world, the contest would not be about combat, but about guile and politics, and older generations had that in abundance.
