  1. It was not ‘roll of the dice’ whether the nobleman was good at war. Nobility in fact is BASED on those that are good at leading armies and show massive courage. These guys would be raised as officers, they all had vast amounts of military knowledge. But just like with a modern army, some have more skill than others. The problem is that over time the nobility began straying away from its purpose and neglecting their own fate, becoming corrupt and self-serving. Especially in the time period you are describing.

  2. They had simulation war back in the 16th century in the Netherlands. Look up Maurice of Nassau, he studied old warfare tactics to find solutions. At first people laughed at him for these simulation drills, but when they realized it actually worked they soon shat up.

  3. Modern military is voluntary because there is no direct threat to most western countries. You’ll see once there is war, they’ll call upon every healthy man again.

  4. Combat goes a lot further back than Romans my dude. And the spear is much more prominent than the sword.
