    Default Ultimate Battle

    Which matchups that never happened in real history would you love to have seen?

    Huns vs. Champa?
    Quadi vs. Maori?
    Tawantinsuyu vs. Seleucid Empire?
    6th- century Byzantium vs. Haudenosaunee?

    Tell me of your fantasies and how you think they would play out.

    I would have like to have seen Catherine the Great of Russia and Maria Theresa of Austria have an actual fight. Well.. as much of a fight as 18th century Empresses can in those massive dresses.
    They were two of the most powerful players in Europe during their reigns, and didn't like each other very much.
    In the end I think Catherine would win, since she was "less scrupulous" than Maria Theresa.

    Ali vs. Mike Tyson.

    I'm not enough of a history buff to name any real life armies or anything. Oh. Who would've been a good match for Joan of Arc?
