Nobody can find any battle where artillery or cavalry lost. See archive for jidf trying to use pharsalus. Beersheba had Isan are all.
War is just numbers. The only reason it appears otherwise is that massed infantry, even Roman style gladius equipped heavy infantry, are actually useless. Archers will kill any infantry easily, and it is very difficult for modern infantry to survive artillery.
In Vietnam French fought a fake battle where their Indonesian allies surrendered. In Korea the ROK forces had no artillery.

They are bronze pieces. French artillery was superior and iron
http://home.mysoul.com.au/graemecook/Renaissance/04_Artillery.htm
>By the 1540s cast iron guns were successfully produced in Sussex, and later were made in Sweden and Holland as well: they were only one-quarter the price of bronze guns,
https://www.silverhawkauthor.com/post/artillery-in-canada-cannon-of-new-france
>Up to 1370 guns were essentially small, in the weight range of 10 to 20 kg (20 to 40 lbs), and made of bronze or copper. After 1370 larger guns made of wrought or cast iron began to appear. Guns weighing more than one ton and firing 50 kg stone balls were used by the French to breech the walls of the fortress at Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte in 1375
France won and abandoned its artillery which had no ammo.
That's the only one.
>France won and abandoned its artillery which had no ammo.
France lost 1,900 soldiers, lost 100% of its artillery in combat and the Viet Minh only recovered 18 105mm cannons. France lost An Khê and Route Coloniale 19. G.M 100 was completely destroyed. jidf will deny this.
If they lost the artillery why didn't Vietnam use them?
You can spike artillery
The recovered artillery was most likely used by the units who captured them, (Việt Minh 96th Infantry Regiment) tracking individual artillery pieces is next to impossible.
>units who captured them, (Việt Minh 96th Infantry Regiment)
I challenge you to find any Vietnamese unit using French artillery.
During the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Viet Minh employed several previously captured French Artillery, these were American provided M101 Howitzers. picrel
And they won, the side with artillery always wins.
Not at Mang Yang Pass. At Mang Yang Pass G.M 100 had the advantage in Artillery and lost to Viet Minh infantry. They suffered 100% casualties.
4 were previously captured from the French.
France has its own artillery, there wouldn't be any real French unit with American equipment.
The Americans supplied France with loads of weapons to fight against the Viet Minh, including artillery like the M101. picrel is American supplies M 24 Chaffee that would fight at Dien Bien Phu.
So basically meaningless evidence, you can't find any French artillery captured.
Here
These were American M101 Howitzers captured by the Viet Minh. France were using them.
If there were they were given to arvn who were disloyal.
They were captured from the French. the ARVN did not exist during the First Indochina War. the Viet Minh captured several American M101 howitzers and M24 Chaffee at Dien Bien Phu.
Test
Also the m101 were actually KMT weapons from China.
>They are bronze pieces. French artillery was superior and iron
you are fricking moronic. bronze artillery was generally superior to iron artillery until the late 19th century. and your original assertion only speaks about quantity of artillery, not some nebulous quality aspect.
How was it superior? Iron is stronger, it's the better material in every way.
>Iron is stronger,
It's not
>it's the better material in every way.
Wrought iron and early cast iron is less "strong" (ductile) than cast bronze, it has a lower tensile strength and will fail in brittle mode (explode rather than deform plastically). It's only when people figured out how to cast steel barrels that bronze was finally phased out.
In the 14th-19th centuries, the tradeoff was always
>cheap iron guns made from forged bands or dubious castings
vs
>expensive monolithic cast bronze guns
You're only talking about pure iron that nobody used. Cast iron is obviously stronger than bronze and is the only one worth discussing.
Find any battle where bronze weapons won.
Real life isn't a video game and materials cannot be sorted into universal tiers for all applications
So then op wins and nobody can find a exception.
You'll follow up with some idiot reply.

Iran probably had more artillery. Iraq had only one under strength division while iran had 4.
Iran had no artillery
If you say so.

Also any battle from the Swiss-Habsburg wars
For modern battles Somme, Passchendaele.
Take your meds you stupid fricking schizo.
That is a blatantly fake battle and your other battles were won by the side with more artillery.
False. Entente concentrated almost double the amount of artillery as the Germans for the two offensives.
Brusilov offensive is yet another example.
Did you even look up any battles from the Swiss wars. Here’s just one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Morgarten
It's a joke to suggest German has more overall shell tonnage than England.
Your battle is pikes.
Russia was numerically superior and had more artillery.
Who do you think won the battle of the Somme? It definitely wasn’t England.
It was you utter moron just not Wikipedia.
Also mods are deleting stuff.
Go read your Wikipedia bullshit. I will reply more when mods stop deleting.
Archers.
>Archers
Turks had more
Somme I can see being construed as a “victory” but how can you claim the English won at passchendaele literally what did they accomplish. Plus there are so many other WWI battles that count like the Nivelle Offensive and the first two battles of the Aisne
Like I said "advancing less than expected" is a victory. You need to find a offensive that won with inferior artillery.
How is it a victory? By that logic the German invasion of Soviet Union was a victory. Advancing does not mean you automatically win the battle
By definition, if the enemy forces were forced to cede ground and retreat you won the battle.
Simply put, no
"Advancing less than expected" is not a defeat. England obviously won.

Rzhev battle of 1942. Literally any battle of the winter war
Rzhev was a fake battle with penal units, much like winter war.
All aircraft are useless, always.
How were those fake?
Also you can just look at the OOB and see that it wasn’t penal units.
this entire thread is an exercise in no-true-scotsmanning by OP. objectively it should be deleted for immeasurable homosexualry but jannies don't care because chinkmoot only cares about traffic
Of course not. Aircraft are worthless and have never decided any battle.
If Somalia had primitive cavalry they would be more useful than Blackhawks that die immediately.
Battle of Antioch
Operation Michael
That seems won by numbers and artillery.
The Germans had more artillery and aircraft in the area of operations during the battle. They concentrated 60% of all their artillery on the western front for that offensive
Correct and they won.
I doubt you can cite that. Europe had superior crossbows and longbows.
No they didn’t. They failed made a big salient in the enemy line. They captured nothing meaningful and accomplished no objective
They gained territory.
By your definition america lost the gulf war.
The territory America captured forced saddam Hussein to make peace. That didn’t happen in what I mentioned
Wrong. The ceasefire to end the gulf war doesn't exist.
Kill your self you worthless moderator piece of shit.
>I doubt you can cite that.
The majority of the Turkish army were cavalry and archers. in fact in the battle itself crossbows aren't even mentioned for the Crusaders. From 'Victory in the East' by John France page 284 'The Franks were marshalled in four divisions, each of the two squadrons in which were both horse and foot-soldiers....' There are no mentions of the use of the crossbow in this battle. Not to mention the bows used by the Turks were recurve and were capable of firing further than Western bows
On cavalry in the Turkish armies from 'The Crusader Armies' by Steve Tibble page 255 'The majority of the Turkic cavalry were skilled light horse archers.'
So yes, the Crusaders were outnumbered, both in total numbers, archers and cavalry.
>longbows
English, also that was only relevant in the 13th century and beyond. They were not used in large numbers outside of Wales in the 11th century
>Some nations, like medieval Mongols, Hungarians and Cumans fielded both light and heavy horse archers. In some armies, such as those of the Parthians, Palmyrans, and the Teutonic Order of Knights, the mounted troops consisted of both super-heavy troops (cataphracts and knights) without bows, and light horse archers
Teutons are hospitalier which were the crusades.
The Teutonic Knights didn't exist until a century later neither did the Hospitalier's exist. Nor did the Hungarians participate on this crusade.
I gave other examples in 781.
Artillery was captured immediately before the battle. Same with chancer etc.
>I gave other examples in 781.
None of which have anything to do with the Crusaders?
So you're too dumb to read.
Do you have any evidence that refutes op?
If you're mentioning Turkopoles, they weren't used in the First Crusade by the Crusaders, even your own source says that it was under the General Tatikios , whose army was not near Antioch at all, in fact his army turned back before they even reached Antioch so there was no help from them.
Your argument is basically conjecture.
If you can actually cite any clear example I will accept it.
>If you can actually cite any clear example I will accept it.
From Anna Komnene page 307
'Tatikios had other worries apart from this, there was a severe famine and he despaired of taking Antioch. He left the place, therefore boarded the Roman ships anchored in the harbour of Soudi and sailed for Cyprus'
He had left the place before the siege was even finished in early February 1098, let alone before the Battle of Antioch
Your arguments are incredibly bad and there is no way to test them.
>Literally proof that the Byzantine army had left before the battle of Antioch from a primary source
I think you're coping
>Historical studies suggest that by the second half of the twelfth century the turcopoles made up on average 50% of the mounted forces of the crusader armies.
>by the second half of the twelfth century
So, not the Battle of Antioch?
The picture of the battle is literally archers vs archers
You're unironically using a medieval illumination from a book 200 years after the events that took place as proof that the Crusaders used a large archer force against the Turks? Should I believe rabbits jousted on snails now? Use a contemporary written source if your going to cite medieval manuscripts.
Might as well jidf. I see no argument from you.
So you have no source?
Sure.
Your entire argument about the battle of Antioch is cope. The crusaders were not outnumbered on the actual field of battle.
Kerbogha the turkish commander split up his forces. Then his allies after some light skirmishing decided to abandon him and leave him to rot, so that he would not gain control of Syria.
Obviously if half your army decides to leave for political reasons, you no longer outnumber your enemy
>The crusaders were not outnumbered on the actual field of battle.
Moving the goalposts are you?
>Nobody can find any battle where artillery or cavalry lost.
They had more archers and cavalry, they lost.
The crusaders had more archers because the enemy alliance collapsed.
>The crusaders had more archers because the enemy alliance collapsed.
proof? The Crusaders already had minimal amounts of archers and Turkic armies were formed of mostly light horse archers as said
. The desertion of non Turkic allies would not have decreased this.
Proof?
>The desertion of non Turkic allies would have decreased the Turkic component of the army
Is this what you are implying?
Jidf you've done well.
What do you want proof for? What I already proved?
Jidf, you're Unjiddable.
Not an argument, try again
The Turkish part wasn't the archers, the archers are (in every army) attachments.
This is obvious, the core force is the welfare babies that sends archers to fight.
>The Turkish part wasn't the archers
Read
>'The Crusader Armies' by Steve Tibble page 255 'The majority of the Turkic cavalry were skilled light horse archers.'
A force of horse archers is used for ranged attacks against the Crusader force. According to Albert of Aachen, 'A force of 2000 mounted bowmen rode up to the Bridge Gate as it opened' in readying to attack the Crusaders.
But whatever the core force of every army is will be the welfare babies and the attachments will have the real weapons/archers.
Clearly not, considering the majority of a Turkish force was cavalry archers. Neither does this general statement have anything to do with my argument. I've proved all my statements, why don't you try proving yours?
Yeah but Turks are 56% white. Just because they were Turkish doesn't prove they weren't a attachment.
Im not the op.
But to be honest his thesis sounds somewhat reasonable, in modern warfare statistics prove that the majority of causality's come from artillery..
The Jacobites at Prestonpans had no artillery and a small number of horsemen, while the British had dragoons and many artillery pieces.
But can you actually cite this? British artillery was not large and only a few guns would decide the battle.
>Warned by his pickets of the Jacobite movement, Cope had enough time to wheel his army to face east (see map) and reposition his cannon. As the Highlanders began their charge, his artillerymen fled, leaving the guns to be fired by their officers
So in other words they didn't have artillery. Your entire argument shows there was no artillery there.
This is how stupid your argument is jidf.
> Artillery was captured immediately before the battle. Same with chancer etc

https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_Castlebar
The French and Irish forces had no artillery and a handful of cavalry.
The crusaders first encountered turcopoles in the Byzantine army during the First Crusade. These auxiliaries were from diverse Turkic origins; including Pechenegs, Oghuz Turks, Uzes, Cumans, and Bulgars.[3] Some Byzantine turcopole units under the command of General Tatikios accompanied the First Crusade and may have provided a model for the subsequent employment of indigenous auxiliary light horse in the crusader states.
It has been argued that, while turcopoles certainly included light cavalry and mounted archers, the term was a general one also applicable to indigenous Syrian footmen
Both battles of Bull Run
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Prestonpans
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Falkirk_Muir
Do you have any evidence the rebels had zero artillery?
There’s none mentioned in the article while it says the British did, although their gunners fled and abandoned their pieces. The Jacobites weren’t good with artillery, and while they had some at Culloden it was ineffective while British artillery shredded the Highlanders.
What the hell is napoleonic subsidies? Feel like I’m having a stroke
Jidf can't accept the Battle of Mang Yang Pass was won without artillery.
Even if we accept your argument, it was only 1 batallion of French forces. There were 4 colonial batallion. All of the French casualties were locals.
Wrong. The casualties were Frenchman. The only VNA battalion, 520th TDKQ, deserted upon contact with the Viet Minh. Only 200 were reported captured. G.M. 100 had the advantage in artillery and lost. Jidf is wrong.
Jidf now you're just categorically wrong. There is no debating with you as you are mentally moronic and can't read.
moronic reply. G.M. 100 had the advantage in artillery, vehicles and tanks and lost to Viet Minh infantry. They suffered 100% artillery casualties. Viet Minh only captured 18 105mm cannons. G.M. 100 was made up of 4 Battalions 1 artillery group and 1 armored cavalry squad. 520th TDKQ deserted so casualties are French. Jidf is wrong and you are moronic.
Their artillery unit was local forces so it surrendered. No French took any losses. You can't find a single French casualty.
Incredibly stupid reply. French artillery were manned by soldiers of the 2nd Group of 10th Colonial Artillery Regiment. These were Frenchman stationed at An Khê. French suffered 1,800 casualties if you subtract the captured soldiers of the 520th TDKQ battalion. Jidf your so stupid.
>These were Frenchman stationed at An Khê
The name colonial means they were not French.
Jidf you are grasping at straws. The only colonial unit present in G.M. 100 was the VNA 520th TDKQ Commando battalion which deserted during the battle. Viet Minh only captured 200 of these soldiers, so the rest of the casualties are French. Stop being moronic.
Jidf the colonial units were all colonials and not French. You are a clown. Even the French forces might have had colonials.
You have the mental capacity of a child. There was only one colonial battalion in G.M.100 which deserted. The rest were French, many veterans of the Korean War. Prove to me that G.M. 100 had another colonial battalion that wasn't 520th TDKQ. You can't jidf.
Jidf you're a moron.
I accept your concesion. OP is wrong. Viet Minh beat French artillery at the Battle of Mang Yang Pass and jidf OP can't prove it wrong. All replies are redundant.
Excellent work jidf.
Well done jidf.
Jidf have you given up finding a battle?

Ah, I see. When someone provides an example disproving your hypothesis, you just decide to ignore it and claim that it never actually happened and all evidence to the contrary is some sort of conspiracy. You really are a Schizo aren't you?
