Touhou vs Napoleon:

Been studying some Napoleonic History in my spare time while I prepare for exams and I have thought of this scenario for the lols. Napoleon comes to Gensokyo and plans to add it to the First French Empire. Napoleon has 10,000 men each with their own respective rifles and 500 cannons. You have a budget of £1000, who do you hire to protect Gensokyo and why?:

£50 - Sakuya Izayoi
£50 - Yukari Yakumo
£25 - Patchouli Knowledge
£25 - Yuyuko Saigyouji
£20 - Yuuka Kazami
£20 - Reimu Hakurei
£15 - Reisen Udongein Inaba
£15 - Marisa Kirisame
£10 - Aya Shameimaru
£10 - Nitori Kawashiro
£5 - Cirno
£5 - Wriggle Nightbug

I'm also someone who finds Napoleonic history to be interesting, so I'll be the first in the discussion and say whom I think would be best to hire. Yukari Yakumo, Sakuya Izayoi, Reimu Hakurei, Yuuka Kazami, Yuyuko Saigyouji and Cirno. Yukari and Reimu are both obvious. They are extremely powerful and Yukari herself can teleport all the others around to help in outflanking the troops and she'd be able to deflect the bullets to elsewhere. She'd also make for an excellent strategist. Reimu of course has spell cards such as fantasy seal and such which would likely do a lot of damage to the troops. Sakuya can use time manipulation, so she'd obviously be useful in that regard. Yuuka Kazami is incredibly powerful, so much like with Reimu, she'd be useful in taking out hordes of men. Yuyuko might not be as powerful overall compared to the others, but as with Yukari, she'd very likely be good at strategizing the best ways to defeat Napoleon and his troops in concert with Yukari. And lastly, Cirno is a fairy, so she'd have infinite lives and would be good in distracting the enemy (and for serving as cannon fodder lol). I'm not the best at strategy scenarios, though I do know enough about military strategy and those Touhou characters to think they'd probably be best to be effective in defeating even a master strategist like Napoleon.
 
I'd first hire Sakuya because she's among the more rational characters and her experience as a leader would help keep everyone disciplined.
Patchouli's magic would wreck havoc in more ways than conventional cannon fire. The only down side is that she might overexert herself.

Aya is basically a one woman spy ring. Her knack of poking her nose where it doesn't belong and her photography skills are an advantage that Napoleon would have no counter measure for.

Nitori's engineering prowess would dominate the field in terms of artillery if the kappa managed to scavenge enough of it.

As a former soldier, Reisen would use her old training to turn Gensokyo's residents into a battle ready militia, especially if they scavenge all the rifles and ammunition off of the French dead.

Marisa could be deployed as a glass cannon. Her master spark alone could eradicate entire files of the enemy column.

Reimu is an easy choice because she's powerful and rarely loses a fight. Although I doubt she would make a good chaplain...

I'd hire Cirno because fairies only die temporarily. That makes her the strongest of a unit of fairy shock troops that would take the brunt of the opening salvo.
 
You could just send Yukari in solo. Only way you could make this more unfair for Napoleon is to include Toyohime as an option.
I did think about maybe giving Napoleon some spell cards and the ability to fly but I was like fuck it.....he has 10,000 men and 500 cannons so the soldiers could potentially gang up on the individual Touhou character and then kill them idk.
 
Nitori as commander of artillery, just to be cautious do not let her get too much exited...

patchouli definitely gotta be there as a master mind she can definitely proves herself to be worthy in the long terms,

now a bunch of cirnos can be useful, they are cheap and since its an ice fairy and we know napolionic armies do not pair well with cold people lol can be use somehow

another bunch of sakuyas absolutely in, lethal for special missions

aya is reckless, with her background as journalist she knows pretty well the topography of gensokyo, she is worthy

marisa is also reckless and very outgoing life style, beside in the games she always get the traits of faster and best firepower, if the group of cirnos is the simple front line of spear men, marisas is the back bone of lethal musketeers and grenadiers, more expensive but more firepower

so why in the heck you didnt include my sanae lol shes the commander of everything she is above to... the formation would be, headquarters the moriya shrine with sanae 20$, Nitori 10$, 1 marisa as the commander of infantery (cirnos and marisas) 15$, patchouli 25$ and aya 10$ somehow with this group we can formed a leader group, and here in the headquaters we got just 25 cirnos to defend around the place, it should be enough thats 15 so for the headquartes is 155$

now we got for some rent the 2 barracks which are hakurei shrine and the scarlet manor, they dont want to be colonized by a little man that speaks weird, also reimu needs the money and for just 30$ she would join and leave us use the shrine, the manor alone is 30$ the girls dont want to get involved beside we already got patcho and sakuya, so we leave an small contingent in the hakurei shrine with 20 cirnos and 10 marisas thats 250$ and for the manor we get 30 cirnos 15 marisas and 1 sakuya, thats 425$

so we get in total 830$ the rest is for logistic...

strategy is simple obvious since we are outnumber by a lot, just plant bombs where we think the enemy will be, and always try be ahead of the enemy, they will have it rough since they dont have globes or something that flies to recognise the terrain, so they will have yes or yes to explore by foot, and there is where we can get huge advantage, and just mermaid their forces till they retreat or something else dont know,

now i dont know if we consider or not special abilities, i mean, yukari can open a portal, thats too OP, the gensokyo campaign for napoleon would end faster than me in lunatic mode... also i consider multiplying some characs cause obvious even if you hire them all still dont reach the 1000$ budget

Yeah I defo set the budget too high.....I'll probably make a new thread soon with the logical loopholes taken into consideration
 
I would ask Aya to run a smear campaign. Surely all of Napoleon's troops will defect once they find out that he is a secondary Touhou fan and also picks his nose.
