| “ | George, the day this war began, I was cheesed off. Within ten minutes of you turning up, I finished the cheese and moved on to the coffee and cigars. And at this late stage, I am in a cab with two lady companions on my way to The Pink Pussycat in Lower Regent Street.

Captain Blackadder's Men are a company under the command of Captain Edmund Blackadder, part of the long Blackadder family which has spanned centuries dating all the way back to the 15th century. Captain Blackadder is reluctant to meet his fate in the inevitable 'Big Push' and tries everything in his power to avoid meeting an early death through deceit, trickery and cunning. The men under his command include the dimwitted Private Baldrick, known for his inept 'Cunning Plans' and general uncleanliness and Lieutenant George, an upper class twit with a boyish enthusiasm and naivety for the horrors of war. Captain Blackadder and his men are under the control of the insane General Melchett, a man stuck in the old glory days of the British Army with his dated tactics and thirst for a good battle seemingly set to kill every man under his command.
Battle vs. Van der Linde Gang (by Wassboss)[]
None battle was written (although I might come back and write one at a later date).
Winner: Dutch's Gang
Expert's Opinion[]
Despite having the inferior weaponry, Dutch's Gang won this one by a landslide. Blackadder and his men were too goofy and lacked the killer instinct that Dutch's Gang had in spades as well as not really having a whole lot of combat experience, spending most of their time sat in a trench. Dutch and his men were much more skilled with their weaponry and more used to open combat.
