      The story's by Harry Turtledove just in case you're wondering why you can't see it under Asimov (I know anthology isn't a collection of stories by...).

    Interesting stories. Many follow similar themes and terminology making me wonder if they are part of a larger story.
    My criticisms:
    Attack helicopters do not do Hollywood engagements that close. Missiles are fired about 4 miles away and guns tend to be a mile or more away. M1 Abrams tend to use their canons about 2 miles away. If they are used to arrows then they expect engagement at around 0.1 miles while the M-4 (and M-16) has an effective range of about 0.3 miles. Nukes detonating in space produce EMP which will fry electronics on earth covering most of the US for each nuke, making it better to use them before the cities get to space. US nukes also have a very small radius of lethal radiation, so part of the Dark Lord had to subject to the point of impact (or at least within about a mile of it).
    Minor issues overall. The story was nice.

    Yeah, I would say that the only issue I had with this story was that planes weren't deployed earlier. Or that our bombers weren't picking off the magic cities as they were assending into space. But nuking them in space was a nice touch. 😂😂😂

      See, they don't play war games. They can't stand the loss of face and being embarrassed. So, they don't fight unless they're certain they'll win; or to put it otherwise, they won't bother unless they know they'll steamroll their opposition. Like they thought would happen here.
      Compare and contrast this way of life to people who actually take warfare seriously, where you would find that the reason they win engagements IRL is _because_ they lose so many engagements in war games.
      Gains made in capability come from lessons learned - and without continually trying to succeed (far above and beyond the point of handicapping yourself just to figure out how to succeed in less than optimal conditions) one will simply not learn what they can really accomplish, or to what extent they could really adapt.

    It's honestly good to see alien species being able to take down Humans. In the other stories, they all seemed invulnerable and took no casualties, and if they did, it was just barely.
    It is pretty unbelievable that a space-faring civilization only had medieval weapons and magic though. This is more like a fantasy scenario, where a portal would open up and medieval warriors would attack humanity.

Not bad but not original (I think) but in the show Voltron humans are still in early stages BUT are advanced enough to attempt reverse engineering and if I remember right (can't remember his name) the guy in charge of conquering earth is a sadistic bast*** similar to or bad guy here BUT..... regular everyday weapons..... No they would win..... It took alien tech(Voltron lions) along with strategie to win
