Hitler vs. Napoleon vs. Caesar - Battles

#1 Posted by Joygirl (6377 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago - Show Bio

Adolf Hitler vs. Napoleon Boneparte vs. Julius Caesar. Each leader has 5,000,000 men, equipped with sabres and guns up to American Civil War standards. They all know how this weaponry works, and start off in their respective countries (Germany, France, Italy), and the goal of each leader is to collect all three. There are no allies or outside influences. Who conquers?

I'm going with Napoleon since he was powerful enough to almost take over the World. Hitler only killed a bunch of jews. Julius I aint heard much of him.

@ComicVinE_CLOWN: Oh no it's ok. it's totally my irrational fear of clowns.

Back on topic, Hitler was a very good propagandist, who was lucky enough to have some /very/ skilled generals working for him. I don't think he'll be effective assuming personal command. Napoleon really started to pave the way towards modern warfare with the ways in which he change thinking about how you could use a canon on the battlefield. Julius Ceaser I think could do less with more, so if they have equitable resources I think he is capable of leading his troops to victory

LOL, the end of your statement is ironic. It wasn't Hitler alone against all these countries, he had a whole government full of officials, he was just the "face" of Nazi Germany...similar to the President of the US....or any country for that matter...if you think one guy runs everything you should get your head checked...Hitler was a moron who couldn't even get into art school, after he painted the Virgin Mary with poo poo (true story). He couldn't even gain a great margin in the polls even with his competition getting assassinated, people think more of him than he actually was

noted and understood. The battle is who was the best leader. In which I called Hitler over rated because he was actually kind of a bumbling crazy person, who blew several operations (Battle of Dunkirk). Napolean was much more efficient as a leader. This has nothing to do with the Nazi Germany and their allies achievements as their was a lot of other countries and officials involved, as the battle would just be Hitler and 5 million soldiers....once again, Hitler was a moron, Napolean would win

you have it scrambled, its Veni, Vidi, Vici.

but julius did have quite a rep on him.

Hitler Holds my respect HOLD before anyone accuses me of anything!... i do not agree/like/approve of what he did in terms of the Holocaust. he only has my respect because the man was tenacious, and he was a good battle strategist (at the beginning of the war) he allied himself with common partners, and would have conquered plenty if he hadnt struck at stalin. The man should have known you cant win a war on all sides.... just consider: the size of: Germany... now think about all they did. that takes guts, tenacity and a certain kind of manipulation. HOWEVER he effed up royally by putting the intellect to such waste.

Not just that, but The SS was a badass boy band.

I dont see how julius would even fathom the concept of a gun.

i guess Napoleon and Hitler would be the last two standing.

I agree with eveything you said, but the Russians are a Very formidable fighting force. they could out do the Third Reich, Napoleon and Julius together.

Couple quick notes: The russians beat Napoleon because of the extreme cold. His forces weren't used to it, and theres were. It's come up in several wars, the Finnish have won battles simply because they invented the sauna. Also, ancient Rome had crossbows -- not at all different from firearms. He gets knowledge of how guns work, and the tactics would be the same as the projectile weapons he already had.

@god_spawn: oh. my bad.

@Joygirl: i realized that the way i worded it was badly written. sorry, I meant for it that Julius' type of warfare was totally different from Napoleons and third reich's. giving him guns would mess the guy up. most of the Roman infantry were Gladius weilders and spears. The archers were less in number, and held back.

Ah, right, I see. Fortunately the troops still get sabres, and these are civil war-era weapons and therefore not the best guns in the world. Also, when he discovers this "marvelous new weapon", who knows how his big beautiful tactical brain of his will change his strategy.

Toussaint L'overture, a slave, beat back Napoleon and expelled the British and Spanish armies from the colonies with a rag tag bunch of slaves. Just putting that out there.

With that said I'd either go with Napoleon or Julius.

It always seems to be the seemingly insignificant parties that beat back world powers though. Slaves, barbarians, peasants, etc.

Napoleon and Hitler didn't conquer GB - Cesar did.
Rome didn't really losed "The War", they've won and thier politics crushed their own country.

Cesar wins it pretty easily IMO, Hitler and Napoleon are close to each other.

Genghis and Tamerlane were both pretty intelligent but they were also bloodlusted yahoos,i don't know but i find those guys creepy.Walid was the general of Umar(the second Caliph of Islam),he was undefeated in battle(100 victories i think)

Maybe, but I belive that we both agree that Alexander was best of them.

Besides, I see him at one of people who was ruler of the most large country and was pretty much unbeatable. Second one is Julius Cesar. Others had to small victories or didn't won "their war".

I've didn't say that.
I've said that Alexander is one of that people and Cesar is second one, but I've didn't mean that they are the only ones. They simply are the greatest IMO. Mostly because I belive that their enemies were harder to beat.

@Scarbearer: I believe you're right. Napoleon is the best among these three, but he had some issues concerning the nature of his decisions, if you know what I mean. So, Julius or Napoleon...don't know. They were both great in their time...

#48 Posted by The Incredible Huck (156 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago - Show Bio

Hard to compare these leaders in this situation. Caesar has never seen firearms and so would not know how to arrange his troops. Hitler and the Nazis relied on their advanced engineering and mechanics; they had the best tanks and for most of the war had the best navy and airforces as well. With only troops and oldschool rifles they would be in a similar situation as Caesar, out of their element. The weapons described are similar to what Napoleon would have used, so his strategies and tactics could be applied with little need for alterations. He should take this one with ease. Caesar was a good general as was Napoleon - Hitler was not a general, although he had some great ones working for him, he cannot take credit for the success of the Nazis armies. Between Caesar and Napoleon you have to consider their opponents; I think that England, Prussia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Russia during the late 1700s/early 1800s were able to offer the French much more resistance than the Celts and Gauls from 50BC could offer against the Romans. Winner = Napoleon.
