I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.
A Genie appears out of a bottle and asks…
-
I’d have to be a spectator at Waterloo.
-
Why can’t i ever have the sex-genie!?
on-topic: don’t know particular battles, but somwhere in a jungle defending against a wild japanese bayonetted attack would sound fine.
(Waterloo would be interesting as well) -

This one is it for me. To be at Napoleon’s side and have a translator of course.
-
Do you not speak Corsican or Italian, Most Holy?
-
Nor French. Working on Russian, slowly.
-
Good luck with that. Any reason you fancied trying to learn Russian? I do have respect for those who learn different, out of the ordinary(my ordinary obviously) languages.
-
Many Russian and former Soviet Union friends. Sad history. Much like Ireland my second favourite non native country. But I’m sure as hell not learning Gaelic.
-
As a Texan, I have to add the Alamo.
-
Second choice would be the Battle of Yavin.

@ABWorsham:

or you could reverse the question and be with Hood at Gaines’ Mill, charging and wrecking Fitz John Porter’s line! (Were you born in Texas?)
What happened at Yavin,Most Holy? -
WHAT HAPPENED AT YAVIN!?!?! Only the greatest battle of all time! A rag tag bunch of rebels destroyed the greatest weapon ever created by hitting an exhaust port not much smaller than a wamprat with a torpedo without even using targeting computers! a filthy hippie guided only by an ancient religion closed his eyes and pulls the trigger and the Galactic Empire was defeated. Sheesh don’t they teach history in your backwards country?
-
Must have missed that one. Suppose there are lots of silly shaped creatures in it who do no speak a word of English, yet defeat the Nazi like goodies in a film based on the historical battle.
I will stick to Professional soldiers cleaving their way through and bashing hell out of a rag tag conscript army of misfits any day. -
If the genie can transport a person back far enough, I suppose you could add Masada to the list of historic last stands.
