"in the 1700's, England had the largest and most powerful military in the world by far"

No, it didn't.

Anon isn't actually incorrect. You could be pretty certain that France, Spain, the Ottoman Empire, definitely Russia, and possibly the Ottoman Empire had larger militaries, some by far.

However, Great Britain did have one of the most powerful, because of training. The average British infantry could fire 3 shots a minute, as opposed to two; combined with strategies such as platoon firing, and the 2 man thin regimental firing lines (known as the 'thin Red line') gave Britain a large advantage over other armed forces.

Of course, their Navy was much better. But again, it is possible Spain had more ships. They certainly had bigger; see the Santisima Trinidad, the first four decked Western European ship

The biritish actually had some of the smaller ships, seeing as their navy's primary role was to keep trade flowing and patrol their colonies. They needed frigates to do work, not 3 deckers to show off muscle. What gave them the advantage on the sea was however an overwhelming technical and drill superiority. Their officers were much better schooled and their men had much better training, They were for example the only nation that ever thought it might be a good idea to fire their cannon via flintlock rather than a match, thanks to this and regular practice, a british gun crew could fire their gun almost 2 times a minute. A french gun crew fired on average once in a minute and a half.

The british army on the other hand was nothing special, mostly a bunch of backwards snobs purchasing officer commissions. Ruthless and stupid decisions were more than commonplace. They were generally slow to adopt new technology and tactics. Being one of the last military forces in the world to adopt rifles on a larger scale and later on admit the advantages of breech loaded weaponry sticking blindly to muzzle loaded muskets. Most of their famous victories and feats of honour came down to the men mantaining an incredible level of discipline despite being sent to do something utterly retarded, such as the Battle of Minden or the legendary Charge of the Light Brigade. Prussian army would have kicked their arse any day.

I wouldn't say that's entirely true for the British army

For example, they were advanced in some aspects. The British developed the shrapnel bomb (Thanks to Colonel Shrapnel), and their rifle brigades were some of the first. Certainly the first regiments to promote independent thought in the ranks, and use uniforms that could count as camouflage.

While many men did purchase commissions, this was also true for every European army, apart from Napolenic France. The same thing could be said for every European country; and in fact, officer training seemed to be superior than countries like Austria, Russia, and Spain.

Keep in mind we're concentrating on the 18th century here, too. You say Prussia would kicked their arse; but who beat the French. Prussian Military doctrine became outdated in the latter half of the 18th century, because they refused to change, they refused to adapt. While Britain did in fact show tactical flair with its men, Prussia just... didn't. They couldn't. Blucher was exiled for trying too. THeir dispiline was terrifying (the Prussian regiments stood there at Jena, and because they weren't ordered to engage, just took the French storm. Napoleon was shocked at their officer's stupidity, and the courage of the men)

Well you could say that could have been achieved by any officer of the time, and the biritsh were merely lucky it was one of theirs. As for the skirmishers, that's a bit of a yes and no. In the british army system many of the light cavalry and foot regiments were a sort of auxiliary, entirely run by the officer in command of it. And it was these officers, some of which were not in fact entirely brain dead, who have been among the first to adopt rifles and pioneer light infantry tactics. The central command however highly despised this. Similar cases could be seen during the american civil war, where there were regiments of light cav and skirmirshers using breech loaded repeating rifles fighting alongside foot troops still relying on breech loaded muskets.

While that is true, it was still significantly behind what the navy had. Both in regards of preference to social rank rather than skill and the actual level of education.

Well the French were beaten by a large coalition of european powers so it's rather unfair to say the biritsh did it, although they did play the biggest part.

Its amazing and super good in the sense its 100% fanservice but the kind you want from an anime. Your favorite characters fucking around in great comedic scenarios.
No lore whatsoever , its like heroes of the storm or super smash brothers, dont think about how some of them should hate each other just enjoy.
If you know either Tsukihime or Fate you'll understand most of the jokes.
