Pick two to protect you, the rest will attack you.

[El Che]

3 SEALs and 250 Mongols. Easy money

 

[Halifax]

THe problem is if you don't pick the navy seals, then they get to team up with the rest of the groups to attack you. So almost by default you have to pick them. Put 3 seals with those other groups and you stand no chance of stopping them.

I think we should take out the seals and see what people think of the groups.

Again, this depends. Are you dressed in a bright Orange easily distinguishable uniform so all these guys know they have to kill you? Can they magically sense you? or are you just another guy in the army if you chose to just dress as one of the 150 janissaries and it turns into a last man standing as they kill everyone knowing you are in the mix? Given a choice knowing i am the target, im not going to just wear a neon flag to be sniped lol

Pompey knew it was FuckThisShit O'Clock when Caesar smashed him and was closing on his camp and just dressed as an ordinary dude to evade scrutiny and escape and it worked. This was fairly common.

Assuming unlimited ammo your best bet would be seals and Prussians. Just rain bullets into the enemies until they are gone. Prussians had breach loading rifles so are a better pick than the grenadiers.

It don't work that way bro. Not unless you run for favorable terrain.

In the battle of Isandlwana, the British had 1837 experienced soldiers with breech loading Rifles, a few artillery cannons, Gatling guns and 400000 rounds against an army of 20000 naked Zulu's charging in for hand to hand combat. The scouts warned them the Zulu were coming, and they formed up ready for them. That's only 11 to 1 Odds with vastly superior firepower...and they were eventually encircled, enveloped. Surprisingly they only killed 2000 Zulu's because those guys stalled their charge to lay down and evade fire while signalling those not in the line of fire to flank. The brits had enough troops to form Squares.

30 Prussians and 3 seals are not going to do enough to " Just shoot till they are dead" against 500 Legionaires, 450 Vikings, 400 Samurai, 300 Templars, 250 Mongols, 150 Jannisaries, and 50 grenadiers lol

That is 2100 troops, some highly mobile and with their own firearms. That is 63 to 1 odds

That's fair...

Can they operate at night?

We still don't have situation on this scenario.

smoke half the opposing army at double their max effective range and they might just quit

I don't think we will get situation on this without making it up ourselves.

But I did note belatedly that the majority of the samurai are mounted in that picture

But still. All these groups plus 3 seals would win, that's my biggest problem. I don't think they could defend against all the other groups but combined with a bunch of other groups against you, you are all in trouble.

It's a lose-lose. If you pick the 3 seals you won't have enough bodies to defend. If you don't pick them, they become too powerful because of the size of the unit they'd be with,

Battle of Rourkes drift was 150 British Vs 4000 Zulus and the British won with only 15 dead.

I'm picturing a similar scenario with the Prussians and Seals although when I've generated this image I don't like their odds.

I think you really need three units.

The Seals and Prussians for fire power plus a big unit of melee to tie the rest up.

All i need is this guy.

The biggest difference would be zulu's throwing spears were typically their only inventory of projectiles. And they attacked naked on foot

In this scenario the enemies have some better distance weapons and higher mobility cavalry lol

Do you think there is a viable answer to the OP? Seems like there is no way of survival.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

The answer is the Roman legion with the Navy Seals.

Roman legionaries were fort builders. They always had fortified encampments. So they would build a fort around you and the navy seals would gun down anything that came your way.

The Mongols were good in the open fields but if they charged headlong at Roman positions with their little arrows the would get gunned down. Everyone else the Romans could hold back while the seals shot them.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

None of them. I just need myself and two other Sherdoggers, and uppercut all those cans back to the Dark Ages

Bold considering that all Sherdoggers are current/former Navy Seals.


So you’ll be facing off against a least 3 Sherdoggers plus all the others.


To be safe Id take the Seals at least

 

[Gene Tunney]

Do you think there is a viable answer to the OP? Seems like there is no way of survival.

There isn't. But without additional intel, 500 Legionnaires and 450 Vikings gives one the best chance of survival, according to my calculations.

 

[Tp4myBungHole]

Seals and grenadiers and you can take that to the blood bank senator.

this.

 

[Halifax]

I doubt they thought that far ahead. Its up to us nerds to set the guidelines hehe

If ifs an open field with no place to run. A place with hills, rivers, rocky mountains and caves to bottleneck? Do we have setup time to find favorable ground? How much ammo? Do we assume each army only has knowledge of their time period and will be surprised by explosions and gunfire?

Can they sense their target? Or can we blend in. If the seals dont know to snipe you .....

Will the armies follow your instructions or just act on instinct?

Most of these armies were not beyond lighting the forest and grass on fire to sweep areas.

Do they need to sleep? Because yeah seal night fighting is another level.


We had this same thing once with a bunch of animals and crocodiles were a choice so clearly avoiding water was a thing if they were against you, but near water would be epic if they were your guards

 

[TheNinja]

I think Vikings would be the worst to pick. Along with samurai. They would get destroyed in a calculated battle. They were more melee attacking villages and samurai were good in duels and skirmishes.

 

[Sakuraba is #1]

People are underestimating SEALs, but here’s why they’re so formidable, even with just three members:

1. Their weapons are on a completely different level. A modern rifle can hit targets accurately from 300 to over 500 meters away. Armor, shields, and helmets are useless against today’s ballistics.

2. Night vision is like having superpowers. In the past, armies couldn’t fight effectively at night.

3. Psychological warfare is a crucial aspect that often gets overlooked. Imagine being a Viking or samurai, and suddenly people around you are dropping dead without any visible attacker. The loud thunder-cracks are deadly, and attacks come from the darkness or fog, where you can’t see.

4. Grenadiers had slow reload times, poor accuracy, a limited supply of grenades, and the black powder smoke from their weapons reveals their position, making them easy targets for SEAL snipers.

Nobody is underestimating them. We just understand their Ammo is finite and the enemy can come at you from 8 different directions, especially mounted samurai and Mongols. Even with gatling guns firing nonstop against naked charging Zulu's, you can be enveloped when you are outnumbered 11 to 1. In this case, most examples are 50 to 1.

Keeping in mind your seals are not playing the game you are describing with covert night vision guerilla warfare. They are playing secret service guard the president

 

[SurferH2O]

I'll take the SEALs and Vikings

The SEALs can call in air strikes. The Vikings... because fuck yeah.... it's party time.
