Finally, someone else who knows. All they wanted to teach me about in the army was someone called the Vietnamese. Who ever heard of them?

And how does it score 'battles won' if it's a civil war? there were a LOT of battles in China before BCE/AD

https://www.ancient.eu/Warring_States_Period/

" Between 535 and 286 BCE there were 358 wars between states." in China

It's based on Wikipoetica for God's sake

It even accounts for "battles won" though I'm not sure by who (doesn't say)

and anyway, I'm pretty sure once the battle/war begins everybody has pretty much lost anyway
