Curb Stomp Battle/Literature: Difference between revisions

* The first battle of Arkansas Post in [[Trail of Glory (Literature)|1824: The Arkansas War]] by Eric Flint. 1200 undisciplined freebooters face 1200 trained soldiers.

* A novel in the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Coruscant Nights Trilogy]]'' has Captain Typho, Padme's old bodyguard, try to avenge her death at the hands of the newly-minted Darth Vader. It's [[Foregone Conclusion|really obvious who wins]], but earlier in the novel Typho did beat the Force-Sensitive bounty hunter Aurra Sing, and he'd bought part of the carcass of an animal that blocked Force abilities, and he'd lured Vader into coming alone and not having any (physical) weapons. Still, he got destroyed, and fast. Should have gone with a live ysalamiri, Captain. He did manage to really shake up the Dark Lord by having his [[Famous Last Words|last words]] be an accusation about killing Padme.
