Better revisit your strategy. It was won by modern warfare (at that time). Muskets may not have been today’s weapons, but a .54 caliber ball will absolutely ruin your day.
You can shoot all the 54 cal. you want at me if I’m 5 miles away and you are sitting on explosives with and me with a remote detonator.
The toughest battle is when you can’t identify your attacker. Thus the benefit of our stealth planes.
