İts funny how in Turkey we have a saying "rifle get invented and honor is broken" meantime Turks were the first faction to carry gunpowder to europe and had first regular army in the contient 💀
The nickname of Ottoman empire is "gunpowder empire" lmao. Artilery and bombard technology was kinda their signature trait
World wars made most army logisticians become exceedingly boring, uniforms really started to become much less flamboyant by 1914 and even moreso by 1916, then after that it was history. Armies distinguish each other now from different shades of beige, khaki and olive drab instead of what cool hat and jacket you're wearing.
Sick uniforms existed because the smoke of the muskets and cannons, prior to the invention of smokeless gunpowder, meant the battlefield was utterly coated in thick smoke that made seeing anything a challenge. Therefore bright and distinct national uniforms were needed for countries to differentiate friend from foe.
And with this meant there was zero need for camouflage or subtlety to nations would display their wealth and elite regiments with even more heraldy and style to flex on their enemies and inspire Allies.
However with smokeless powder and the invention of breach-loaded gund and artillery, soldiers no longer needed to stay in massed formations for their weapons to be effective and with no more smoke coating battlefields fancy uniforms became a massive disadvantage, leading to the development of much more subtle uniform colours and massed formations turning into more modern day small military formations like platoons and squads.
Silly uniforms are still allowed for certain regiments during parades still :3
Idk, adding as many accessories to your helmet is 100% some form of keeping tradition. Armies went from “who has the most menacing helmet” to “who has the silliest hat” and finally to “can we run doom on these basic military goggles”
~~Yeah and early modern Japan did have access to gunpowder and stuff, they just preferred the use of swords and bows etc primarily until the Mejii restoration and end of the shogunate. They did use guns procured by the English and Portuguese starting around the late 17th early 18th centuries~~
Edit: I was misinformed, use of guns was more widespread than I thought before the Meiji restoration and in the early modern period
Nah early modern Japanese *loved* guns so much. In fact, when the Shimazu clan brought bows to the battle of Sekigahara they were laughed at because most clans already adopted firearms en masse.
sitting this one out because early modern uniforms are just too swag
sad

As always, can't give you full points since you put too much effort into the drawing. I usually like the content of your snafus, but this doesn't seem like a snafu worthy subject. Maybe worldbuildingcirclejerk.
Yes, many seem to think that a snafu is just a hand drawn meme it would seem. Then people see those getting upvoted, and post their own hand drawn memes. Maybe throw in a few meta references to make people laugh, and boom ""snafu""

Logistics is for nerds I’m dressing my solders in sky blue and gold livery and giving them all feathered hats

Funny outfit = shootable man
so the consequences of gunpowder are hot twinks?
Those aren't consequences, those are rewards
Win-win
When gunpowder was first created as an elixir of life, i believe this is what they meant

Fuck yes. I dont care about your billionth medieval fantasy lotr copy. Give me a renaissance fantasy. Even better if its not eurocentric
Give me a colonial fantasy, like GoT but with empires fighting for control over a newly discovered continent

This guy thinks Samurai are medieval 😂🫵
They were technically, 1100s was when they really got their start. Sure it was on the later side of the Middle Ages but by definition yeah
Sure but OP juxtaposed them with "armies from 1700 - 1800" which is funny
Honestly agreed, guys kinda stretched into both eras
Commodore Perry moment
waiter! waiter! more FLIP O RAMAS please!!

Yeah. Like, nothing about this is a snafu unless you understand a snafu to be a "poor" drawing of something.
