I think people have to be careful in this regard, otherwise it could devolve into almost filler-ish content. There has to be a balance of using the main storyline as a means of character development, like say with the second prince recently, rather then focusing solely on the students. A good example would be the new rail-way president, versus a bad example of say frauleins chapter in 14 which I thought was rather weak and side-offish

I wouldn't want them to have full-focus, Baltzar and his political troubles are interesting. Maybe some little extras with them.

I hope the translators release a new chapter... I miss the manga.

No kidding. Looks like Holbeck has Naval support, a larger number of troops and cavalry.

Not surprising.Holbeck=Denmark and Holstein. Weissen=Prussia. Prussia doesn't really have a proper navy until the German reunification.Difference is that Holbeck seems to be much more powerful than Denmark ever was in real life.

I though Holbeck's Swedish. Cause 7 years ago Weissen just acquire a country that is located eerily similar as the one located on the Juttland Peninsula.

Historically, the country that Prussia fought against and had trouble with it's navy was Denmark.Besides that, the country that Prussia took territory from was Denmark. Prussia took Holstein,Schleswig and some other parts of the Jutland Peninsula I think.Furthermore, the entirety of Jutland belonged to Denmark back then.

Denmark's portrayed as the Norden-Trade principality in the manga. Before the war they were part of the Swedish/Holbeck empire in there. Then there's a civil war for independence, Weissen intervene & Norden-Trade got their "independence." Weissen gain access to the northern sea trade route.

I imagined Norden-Trade would be Holstein-Schleswig here then. Holstein-Schleswig was a mostly German area ruled by Denmark.In real life, Holstein-Schleswig pretty much declared independence against Denmark and received Prussian intervention, but they lost the first war anyone.

Guys, we have told you plenty of times that linking to any scanlation site is not allowed here. Likewise, hotlinking to said sites is also not allowed.

I must also ask you not to upload a manga page each time you post. This is not an image thread, nor is there a need to post a manga page to get your point across each time.

Will do. I will be more mindful in the future. One problem is this manga genre almost requires the need of some sort of a "Visual aid" in order to truly understand some of the stuffs in it. It's not like other genre where they play footloose with reality this manga is grounded in reality.

Can I still post some other pictures from other site or alter any image in the manga in someway?


Like using pictures of this Coastal cannon to be used as comparison as the one in the manga?

MrTerrorist,
Isn't Gunka no Baltzar is more of an Fantastic Counterpart of The German Reunification in Mid-19th century than Napoleonic Early 19th century? So its more Victorian rather than Napoleonic...
Baltzar himself, when he saw Baselland's Napoleonic Tactics, pretty much comments that Its something like his Grandfather would use...

Yeah, I'm wondering about his as well... we need something from the manga itself to compare with. Is it permitted?

Well, have we seen the Kanzler of Weißen yet? Maybe there is some kind of Bismarck character in the government... or will the Chief of Staff fill that position?

Now, about the 20th chapter:
This ...Hauptmann Nielsen of Holbeck Cuirassiers seems have no problems whatsoever at sacrificing Holbeck Marines and Infantry...First he uses The Marines simply as a bait to goad the Weißen Garrison to the cliffs, where Holbeck Navy ships can get clear, unobstructed Line of Fire for an accurate pinpoint bombardment rather than area bombardment. But again, the Weißen Hauptmann isn't too bright to let his men into open ground when there are dozens of Holbeck Warships on the waters...

Looks like the Holbeck army itself are still entrenched in old antiquated mentality, even if it seems that their technology are quite advanced, looking at their Infantry Rifles...Nielsen himself is a Cavalryman that seems enjoying more of Charging home into the enemy, he even seems doing all of this just to set a stage for some Cavalry action ; but this is not isolated to him alone, as even ordinary Holbeck Infantryman are Bayonet-Happy.

^At the time i made this thread, i assume the manga was set during the Napoleon era until someone told me what was the correct era the manga is set.

Anyway, the thread title has been changed to reflect that.

Technologically speaking, what would their world be the rough equivalent of?

Around our 1850's time period?

What technology are they using that's the oldest and the most advanced if they were in our world?

Yes, about 1850s-1860s.

As shown on the manga itself, they already has things like Railroads, Steam Engine, Telegraph, Steamships, Penny Farthing Bicycles, Mass Steel Production, Machined Tools, Replaceable Parts, Photographic Camera...

The Advanced Weaponry of the age were:
-Bolt-Action Breechloader Rifle
The newest Weißen Rifles. However, the rifles depicted in-manga were Mauser 1898(5 shot magazine, Smokeless Powder Brass Cartridge) rather than Dreyse M1841 (Single Shot, Black Powder Paper Cartridge) that real-life Preußen Army should use.
-Revolver Pistol
Baltzar himself have atleast 2, used when rescuing in the cellar. The Weißen Commander in the village also use one.
-Breechloader Rifled Cannon
The cannon inside the railway yard; The Cannon inside Prince Reiner secret room; Weißen Coastal Defense Cannons.
-Lever-Action Breechloader Rifle
Used by Weißen Chief of Staff when hunting boar.
-Mitrailleuse Volley Gun
The Gun that Baltzar said, the technology stolen from a certain neighboring country (In real life, France)

And the weaponry that considered old and antiquated are mostly what we see used by Baselland...
-Flintlock Musket
Baselland Standard Infantry weapon in the early part of the manga.
-Smoothbore Cannon
The Cannon used by Baselland Artillery Corps.
