History of the Kingdom of the Orcsen: How the Barbarian Orcish Nation Came to Burn Down the Peaceful Elfland - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Division Vs. Division E…

I think the art style has its charm, but every time a character tries to give a serious expression it just looks like they are worried they're about to fart!

I can't believe I didn't realise this sooner. But the fact that the Dark Elves dressed in Napoleonic era uniforms, and now describing how flawed the command structure of the Elf army was; Has made me think they might be inspired by the flight of French Huguenots after the Edict of Fontainebleau was issued, with many encouraged by Prussia to resettle there, bringing lots of specialised skills and international prestige that would help the country grow back stronger after devastating wars in the past. That would be mean the inevitable, one-sided war with the White Elves would be akin to the Franco-Prussian War.

The Orcs seem to be just way better lol, they can just carry way bigger guns. Humans and elves don't seem to be special here, wonder how they would combat this.

what does "Parachute division" here means? planes haven't been shown to be used,are they dropping them from balloons or dragons?

It looks to me like the standard orc soldier has pretty expensive upkeep. That kobold noted that a single orcish meal could feed him for three days. Bigger supply requirements means more fragile supply lines and that captured supply depots are a much bigger score for orcish opponents than orcs.

Orcs are bigger and stronger, with the benefits and downsides of this – the square-cube law is not their friend, so they’ll probably be the losers in protracted fights. Add in that humans tend to be the most enduring among the primates – humans likely take the advantage in longer running encounters.

Consequently, the orcish strategies are built around winning with relative speed and forcing the kind of head-on encounters they’re more likely to win – in a protracted fight, especially one with guerrila warfare, humans (and possibly elves) would have the edge.

Of course I might be assuming too much and the author might just be running "Orcz are the best 4ever, waaaauuugh", but I wanna believe they've considered these aspects…
