You have my vote for the best post on the forum I've read to date, Chris. I hope that we can find some time to get together in the near future, because I would like to shake your hand.

WOW!! Thank you Louis!! I appreciate your kind words- it's not often a Corporal hears that from a Brigadier General- well, my wife loves going to the City, perhaps this gives me an excuse to head out on I 78

Thanks again and a big STANDS ALONE to you!!

I'd like to have been in the Confederate ranks during Picketts Charge and with the first wave of US forces that landed on Omaha Beach; in both cases, ordinary men who did extraordinary things, never to be forgotten, especially today of all days.....................

next month is the 131 anniversary of the little big horn battle. would have liked to been under keogh's command on that faithful day.....

Do you believe, as some archeolocal evidence would conclude, that Keough and Calhoun's companies might have offered the only determined resistance in the Custer part of the battlefield? As for my historical what if, I would liked to have been Marshall Grouchy at Waterloo, marching 30,000 men to the sounds of the guns, cutting off the flanking Prussians, and allowing Napoleon to solely concentrate on smashing the British center with all his forces.....Michael

Michael

Waterloo would have never been the same - while you were "Marching towards the sound of the guns" - I would have been the Marshall Ron - stopping Ney with his insanty of multiple Charges and moved the Old Guard in a coordinated attack with the Heavy Calvary.

What a day that would have been ! The Prussians getting CRUSHED by Marshall Michael and Wellington surrendering at bayonet point to Napoleon and Marshall Ron....

To dream....To dream

Where to start!.I think i would have been a Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain.I remember a documentary in which a German bomber pilot said it was the most feared word in their vocabulary!

After that A Brit Para at Merville Battery,A Marine onboard HMS Victory at Trafalgar.Or how about the proposed idea of dropping a sniper into the grounds that Hitler walked every morning.To be that Sniper would have changed History and saved countless lives.

Here is my alternate history. Nappy is hung by the allies for being out of control. Leadmen

 

[Leadmen]

Let's not forget his horse Marengo. He was an accomplice to the little guy. Leadmen

 

[sceic2]

Leadman, you have captured the best of revisionist history. Bravo Zulu.

 

[Leadmen]

Alternate history. We like the little Nappy so we decided to let him off and exile him to the island. Leadmen close up- is Wellington smiling? Blucher looks mad and Russky wants the horse.

[DMNamiot]

Too True! Hanging was too good for him! Drawn and Quartered would have been much more interesting!

Very funny display!

For me, it would be Egypt 1240 b.c. During the rule of Ramses...

 

[Eazy]

I'd like to see the Inca/Mayan/ Aztec empires at their height before the Spanish arrived.
I've been to Macchu Picchu and would like to see what really was going on there.

 

[vandilay]

being a kiwi ,I guess it would have to be at the defence of maleme airfield on crete [but this time do not withdraw or launch a decent counter attack
before its too late] or a little further back in history part of the scots army
at Bannockburn .

I see that there is another 'Fish' and 'Vamp' in the making

Very good.

I saw that battle Field Detectives episode on the Battle of the Little Bighorn, they based their opinion mainly on spent cartridges found on the field 120 years after the actual battle. Hard to say how accurate that would be without knowing how much the weather and souvenir hunters may have effected their findings. Not to mention the burials and placements of monuments and headstones. Much like the Alamo I don't think we'll ever find out exactly what happened at either battle with any certainty. If we could, it probably wouldn't stir as much interest as those two battles seem to generate.

Leadman LOL Four smiles general!!!!!! Poor Ron, poor horse!
