Yikes, a hundred or so modern automatic weapons would of changed to course of the war.
Yep. It did. The battle between two guys in a foxhole guarding a road with AK’s vs a rather large force with muskets is interesting. But it’s not simple science fiction “mow ‘em down with futuristic weapons” stuff. It really feels like what it would be like with some moterately trained rebels protecting the road. There are also some interesting surprises with other “futuristic” weapons. Not to mention the white rectangle with a bunch of squares on it with letters on each square. They call it a “querty”. ;)
Some friends and I gamed the CW out a few years back. We concluded that the lowest cost easiest way to change the course of it was to send 10 modern snipers. They could destroy the command structure of either side with easy based upon how the battles were fought then.
