The Warlord Chronicles: Bad Military History All Round

Fortunately for Cornwell, the adaptation of his books into a TV show has made his battles look positively accurate and realistic, since TV producers wouldn't know a proper battle if they were in one, so he doesn't look quite so bad.

Hah! True. I don't know why western producers suck so hard on this, it's all but universal, there many animes that despite having supernatural thing in them, still retain at leas the core of military tactics. And several Chinese and Korean productions really give a fuck.

Maybe it's because western audience is just stupider in that regard? I have read History Channel's Vikings conversation where people prefer Hollywood brawl because anything resembling actual tactics is boring to them.
