1812s where marine corps tankers i where cuse they had all of there tanks taken away

Alright, by request I have come again with yet another battle analysis.

So, this is actually quite a lot more complex than previous comparisons, the amount of factors, numbers, and strategies involved are way too much to be compressed into paragraphs, but still I will try to explain in a concise but understandable way.

Strength wise, the Recon Squad is a battalion sized unit with a total of about 1,500 soldiers in 5 companies, HQ, A, B, C, Force, and Tank company, with reconnaissance as their main mission, weapons wise they used standard army weapons, that is M16s, M4s, and M249s, however no guns are bigger than the Mk.19 40mm grenade launcher, this is due to their primary mission, so for anti armor and anti structures work would be relegated to the tank company, this company consists of 14 tanks in 3 platoons and a command element, the command element would operate the most advanced tank in the picture, the M60 AMBT, the two other platoons operates the M48A1 Patton, and the last operated the M41A1 Bulldog.

On the other side, Anime Task Force is also a battalion sized unit, however this time consisting of only 5 companies totaling up to roughly 1,250 soldiers, the companies are HQ, infantry, mechanized infantry, tank, and support, from what available information I can gather, their weapons ranged from US made guns such as M4s and M16s to Soviet made weapons such as Ak-47 and AKMs, however this time they did use heavier weapons, but only the RPG-7, for armored vehicles they used the M51 Super Sherman as their main tank, and the M3 Half-Track as their APCs, their primary mission is most probably to operate in a certain area, either to defend or attack against enemy forces, which is why their organization and weapons selection is slightly broader than the Recon Squad, oh and yes they also have the dragon and the ship.

Do note though that this is all educated guessing, I structured both armies based on US Army's organization structure and as for weapons it's all based on the pictures given, US Army loadouts, as well as looking up old posts from the first ever AAA vs AGA war (War In January as I called it) because the Anime Task Force uniform looks very reminiscent of a post that came from that era, this is where I got Anime Task Force's weapon loadouts from.

Now for the battle analysis section, but before that, do know that this comparison would not follow the traditional scenario type explanation, this is because of the complexity of this battle, there are many factors involved such as terrain, weather, time of day; and the more important ones such as strategies, soldier training, weapons maintenance, and so on, so what I'll do is explain the strengths and limitations of each side and how they can employ those against the opponent.

The Recon Squad specializes in reconnaissance, so their main strengths are stealth, swiftness, and of course, deadliness, these strength enabled them to be essentially invisible to the enemy's eyes, they can use their strength in targeting isolated enemy units and destroy them before they could report anything back to their masters, they're also highly skilled in sabotage, breaking instrumental tools that the enemy depended on, their infiltration skills also helps by a huge margin, this way they can assassinate the leaders of the enemy's organization, creating disorganization from within that can be exploited to defeat them, their reconnaissance skills would help greatly in battlespace mapping, enabling them to identify weak spots in the enemy's formation and positions that can be used to launch a successful attack, their armored company is also significantly more advanced than those of the Anime Task Force's, take the M60 AMBT for example, this tank is basically a very advanced upgrade of the M60 main battle tank, it is armed with the same gun as the M1 Abrams, and has an equally advanced Fire Control System (FCS) to boot, with thermal imaging, night vision, laser rangefinder, ballistic computer, and so on, this is multiple times more advanced than the M51s of the Anime Task Force, which are effectively glass cannons, great firepower but mediocre at everything else at best, the M51s are upgrades to the M4 Sherman medium tank, armed with a 105mm CN-105-57 of the French AMX-30 instead of the 76mm M1 gun, these guns are great but they lack the complementing FCS to help them hit targets at long ranges, they also cannot fight at night effectively as they only used searchlights that can only illuminate targets below a kilometer, it also gave away their position while using it.

However the limitations of the Recon Squad is their limited range of weaponry, and being a reconnaissance battalion they are not really meant to engage in a large scale battle, the lack of heavy weapons meant that they have limited options when it comes to engaging enemy armor units other than to use their own tanks, they're also not armed with any Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), these are kinda like RPGs but for aircraft, which they will encounter with Enterprise launching said aircraft (and the dragon too), they may also fell prey to enemy mortar units with no way to fight back as they don't have mortars of their own, and they also don't use as much body armor as the regular infantries as their purpose is reconnaissance after all, not going on an open engagement to the enemy.

So the best tactic for them is to try and stay hidden as much as possible, and employ what's a called a hit and run tactic, that is engage the enemy and cause as much damage as possible, and immediately retreat back into the safezone before enemy reinforcements comes into the area, also they must prioritize the strongest enemy assets first and foremost before accounting for the other forces, as these pose the biggest threat for them, these threats includes Enterprise, the dragon, and enemy commanders.

Now for the Anime Task Force, their main strengths are more or less versatility, their purpose on the battlefield are quite broader than the more specific purpose of the Recon Squad, basically they can do more stuff that the Recon Squad was not intended to do, for example they can make makeshift fortifications, they can lay down more suppressive fire on the enemy troops, and they can even conduct aerial reconnaissance and air strikes from the Enterprise and dragon, essentially they have more options on what to do to face the enemy on the battlefield and can employ a wider range of tactics and strategies, they can also deploy and move around more quickly as they've got a mechanized infantry company, using their M3 APCs to get around, they don't have to rely on their tanks when engaging structures or enemy armored vehicles, since they're armed with RPG-7s, and one thing that rules absolutely over their enemy is air superiority, they have Enterprise for their main aerial force, and their aerial force is pretty much uncontested since the Recon Squad does not employ MANPADS or any air defence weapons, this way they can strike enemy without even moving away from their position and they can find their targets easier via aerial reconnaissance, Enterprise's cannons can be used as artillery as well and her anti aircraft guns can be used for anti-infantry purposes, this is why I listed Enterprise as a priority target for the Recon Squad due to the threat that it posed.

However their limitations is that their weapons are quite old, and they're comparatively low on numbers compared to the Recon Squad, as mentioned before their tanks are quite underpowered for a modern battlefield, not necessarily useless but they were limited in what they can do, their guns are also dated, it's still capable but there are better options, Ak-47s and M-16s are still alright but they're quite limited compared to more modern arms, for example Ak-47s are inaccurate over certain distances and M-16s are prone to malfunctions, but what's more of a problem are their soldier equipment, as seen on the picture they lack any meaningful body protection, the colour of their clothes would stand out in certain areas and the wing thing would make them more visible from long ranges, and another thing is that they lack night vision devices to effectively fight at night, and lastly is that they're slightly outnumbered, but this can be compensated by their more numerous offensive assets.

So their tactic is most probably a more defensive strategy, holding on to certain areas fending off attack after attack and slowly inching their way in to enemy territory, their main tactic is primarily Search and Destroy, using scouting and reconnaissance to find the position of enemy forces and attack accordingly, they would also likely use a harassment tactic, using artillery barrages from the Enterprise's cannons, airstrikes, and suppressive fire, though they can't use that to as much as their like due to the elusive nature of their opponent, it's kind of like fighting the Vietcong in the Vietnam War.

So at the end, there's no way to say definitively who's side gonna win over who's side, there's many, many factors at hand, as said before, so for this comparison I let the readers to come up with their own conclusion, I've laid the pieces and it's up to them to piece it all together.
