Has there ever been a war where quality of troops wins over quantity of troops? Great northern war, Napoleonic wars and to an extent ww2 comes to mind
Obviously ignore colonial wars or others where the opponent had extremely inferior gear and equipment
Most of Roman wars, if you to believe Roman sources ofc. Except maybe the Punic ones.
Well it really depends on what nation you are playing as, you don't just take Quantity or Quality alone, you must also take ideas like Offensive or Defensive. So for example if you are playing as the Russians, dont take quantity as their national ideas are pretty op and are filled with quantity like ideas. If your France or Prussia which are filled with quality ideas take quantity.
What exactly do you mean by the "quality" of troops? Training? Doctrine? Equipment? Strategy?
>Austrian-Prussian war
Prussia shits over numerically superiour Austria, while Austria shits over numerically superior Italia
I think OP means all of that just the army that had better quality were better but smaller, outnumbered even undersupplied perhaps; and the army of better quantity were just plain bigger and had more of an advantage but not better
What about England, naval ideas?
Vietnam :^)
Alexander's conquest of Persia
what are some good ideas for russia? i'm playing as them currently and run religious, quantity, and trade ideas
...
badly trained troops tend to be a pain to get to do anything you want them to do.
persian invasions of greece
Any european colonial war during the 19th century
/gsg/ is SHIT
Don't be mean!
Any Arab-Israeli war
after the industrial revolution quantity always beat quality see: eastern front WWII
Quantity is a quality all its own, so every war which resulted from military maneuvers
The mongolians wiped the floor with numerically superior enemies especially when led by Subutai (it's a myth that the mongolians had way more troops than most of their enemies. They were simply much better at warfare). The same can be said of the arabs during the invasions of both the eastern-roman empire and Persia.
Sweden kicked ass against the numerically superior HRE during the 30 years war, Prussia against Austria during the wars of Austrian succession and again against both Austria and France during two separate wars in the 1800's.
Greek city states defeated two separate Persian invasions during the ancient times and Alexander led Macedonia to take on half the civilized world with long ass supply lines.
These are some of the wars I can think of right now.

>ever kicking French ass during the napoleonic wars
what are you smoking?
Your reading comprehension is lacking
quality wins battles, quantity wins wars. In the end quantity will always win.
/twg/>=/mbg/>>>>>>>>dogshit>/gsg/
Battle of Marathon.
Conquests of Alexander
quantity of resources > quantity of troops sometimes.
There have been battles for sure
But even in the second Punic War, quality ultimately lost to quantity.
The other guy's statement is still wrong though
The Franco-Prussian War saw mostly balanced numbers, with Prussia having slightly more men (900,000 French vs 1.2 millions Prussians)
Far from a victory against a much more numerous enemy
The Congo Wars.
Tiny Rwanda made every country around its bitch.
Also the First Chechen War. Fully mechanized army of Russians with tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks get booted out in under a year by a few thousand militiamen because their tactics were pants.
Battle of Cannae by Hannibal.
If it's as bad as it was a few years ago when I left it in the trash where it belongs, it's shit.
Boudicas revolt.
Alexanders wars.
Caesar smashing the shit out of Gaul.
Spanish american conquest
Siege of Vienna
The pollacks sure did good
