in the time the knights are charging, the soldiers would kill them before they reach them. ofcource the soldiers would die in the end. but it is claer that victory would go to the soldiers.

The knights don't know what grenades & bullets are, so I doubt they'll fear them. But after several people die, there would be much panic...

If this was a head on charge, A) the knights would pull out their shields B) The soldiers would most likely kill 1000 of each other C) 1 Mag isn't gonna kill 30 knights becoz if they have armour that thick and a shield behind it it'll take 1 mag just to penetrate the armour! If we we're talkin soldiers with magnum sniper it wud b a diff story. And also if we're talkin bout gothic knights they do hav xbows , so a volley of bolts would kill all the soldiers.

Why do you think that a bullet from an M16 cannot penetrate the knight's armor when an arrow fired from a longbow can?

lol... face it, the knights cant win in that kind of a battle...
bullets can easely panatrate a knight armour and shild without any problem, i think that in that kind of a war 0-100 soliders will die...

You are right!

Obviously we are talking about Gothic Knights and modern, real troopers or else this thread is a kind stupid!
Because where exist 10.000 old-fashioned Knights?
Time-machine?
Imaginary battles?If yes then magic is absoloutely a weapon in Knights desposal.


no offence, but this topic IS kind of stupid...
and what do you mean by where can we find 10000 old fashioned knight??
its more likely to find 10000 real knights than to find 10 gothic knight!

So, i dont have a time mechine but a time mechine that changes the reality??
lol...
the knights weapons are swords, bows, xbow and if we are talking about gothic knights they also have runes of kill evil...
soliders dont have to be evil, if the knights will manage to somehow shoot a "kill evil" at the soliders around 200 wil die and tha will be it!

Some soldiers could be evil, since some humans are evil, but I'm sure we're talknig about knights from around 500 years ago, and they used longswords and shields mostly, not bows, crossbows or runes. Of course the soldiers would win, the knights' armor doesn't protect them much at all, a much lighter kevlar vest would be better against modern weapons. Why do you think cavalry doesn't exist in normal warfare anymore? Because they're not as good as modern soldiers, and have much more expensive equipment.

I mean, if 1000 soliders will shoot 1 round (30 shots) each that means they shoot 30000 shots...


Actually, 1 round is 1 shot.

It happens:) Yeah, magazine or clip:) Anyway, you didn't use the wrong word at all, beacuse it is called spare rounds. The machine-gunner assistant carries it for the squad's machine-gunner.

actually i thinks it all depends on the distance of the knights from the soldiers, if 10000 knights should invade a camp of soldiers they would finish em off before the soldiers know what happens..... if your a bit more realistic you know knights will never fight modern soldiers, so then it would all depend on the enemy...

10000 knights can't surprise 5000 solider, their armours will make so much noise, that at least 600 people will wake up or hear them, and the fight will be over fast if the soliders will finish an entire magazin each...

Well, If that's the case I doubt this would be the first stupid thread in the history of RPDot.
Why is it obvious we are talking about Gothic knights, couldn't it just as well be Jedi Knights?
To answer the original question I would have to choose neither as I couldn't house, feed or pay them.
