Brutish clubs with some heavy Baroque carving. :blah: Though when French troops were occuping much of those scattered little city states of what is now West Germany just after the 30 Years War the locals did pick up some good ideas. Later, the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) was a speed bump when Napoleon crossed to Russia. Look up the Battle of Austerlitz. :haha:

Yep sure did but Russian winter, and the tenasity of not wanting to speak frog manure, ended that campain .

But luckily before then an upstart little p!ss-an+ colony tried something that had never been done before (seperate from the British Empire) and adopted the French Charleville musket and later modified the French patten to use in the Committee of Safety Muskets and made the greatest military power in the world.

And seems we couldn't throw French Miniè balls at ourselves fast enough just a short time later; still using those French conceived bayonets and Napoleon six-pounders as well.
