It's not a question that soldiers are winning over the knights. They have better equipment, all-comprehensive and more-sided tactics, and knowledge of battle. The knights more romantic, that's true, but in a challenge, i'll bet on soldiers:))
In the end, my opinion is, that war isn't good:) even if it with soldiers or knights:)
Anyway, which age do you think were the least casualties?

I'm going for the knights, because they have double the amount of soldiers, think what will happen once the soldiers run out of ammo hehe, heads will go flying. So I choose knights, also if knights charge at them since they have so much armour every soldier will take 1 mag to kill 1 knight. Knights have swords, no reloading .

I think if a knight vs. soldiers challenge take place it won't be a front assault from either side, just from the knights. The soldiers just have to search for a good cover, where they can fire at the knights. The M16 has a perfect balance, so they can their targets at about 200 m in the head, and the helmet isn't so thick:) And every squad has at least one man with M203, which can launch a 40mm grenade about 100-150 m. That can be disastrous if we speak about 5000 soldiers, beacuse that means nearly 450 men with M203:)
Drake14, you said, that the soldiers had basic stuff, so they have grenades too? If yes then they can make a bad day for the knights with them:)

I think the horses don't count. Knights fought on horse against cavalry, but when they had to fight against infantry they dismounted.
A thick bolt and arrow cloud can be tough:), but knights didn't use bows or xbows by themself. There was support infantry for that beside them.

Nonono...

Two rounds each from every soldier should be enough to kill all 10k knights!

Knights also knows the secrets of magic so dont mess with them.They can call
a few Paladins with Holy Arrows,Banish Evil, Destroy Evil and then granades,rocket launchers, tanks,chopers and the rest will become history.

Magic?? are we talking about REAL knights or Gothic knights???

I mean, if 1000 soliders will shoot 1 round (30 shots) each that means they shoot 30000 shots... that more then enough to kill all the knights even if they have hourses AND magic! they dont stand a chance, and the tanks, bombs, plains and stuff... cmomon ppl, they didnt invented firearms so middle days people will kill them...

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.

soldiers... one soldier can take out 10 knights easy. and 5000 soldiers can take out 50000 knights. (not really, but who cares).

just aim at their heads, and go from the left to the right.

.......what if a Knight is behind another and so on?then the "from left to right" thing would be just a waste of ammuniton.
