Medieval Americans at War

[Cramulus]

If there was an American army during the middle ages, how would they be equipped?

[Cramulus]

I'm thinking they would dual wield - bastard sword in one hand, attack falcon in the other

[tyrannosaurus vex]

They would drive tanks and fly helicopters because historical accuracy is for nerds, dweeb.

Technically, weren't the "Americans during medieval times" the indigenous tribes already living there?

Dual wielding, yes but not that. More likely flails or anything similar that has as much chance as damaging you as the enemy.

Obviously, no armour.

I saw a documentary in which an American saved the country from the hated British by stabbing somebody right through the chest with the point end of an American flag

So I imagine we'd probably have something like a polearm hedge, but it's all American flags

Also, our heraldry would include 50 bald eagles, rampant.

[Cramulus]

we would load our trebuches with crates of highly taxed tea

Catapults filled with ignited balls of that useless thick black goop that one Texan weirdo keeps pulling out of the ground.

I think you mean trebuchets.

[Eater of Clowns]

Lol no I meant oil trebuchets aren't thick black goop dude

Point conceded.
