Battle of the Bulge
The Atkins Diet
AW! I was totally thinking about a Bastogne/Foy combo
Pearl Harbour and a spy satellite.
Tricks Tricks:
The Battle of Thermopolaye. With a sword, spear, and shield. Fight alongside the greatest warriors of all time.
This is actually a decent answer, because he gets to see and experience the battle.
With every other option, would you really want to see the battle come out the other way?
I mean, if you change the outcome, then maybe everything else changes down the line.
Though I suppose a Blackhawk helicopter would have been handy at Normandy.

The war of 1812 and this:
Full compliment of Vipers of course.

I doubt it. With how much flak that was being shot up, it was bound to be hit. At normandy, a B-2 bomber would be way more useful. For Battle of Britain, have like a Raptor.

If you could go back to one distant battle in time wielding a weapon of your choice (other than a nuclear bomb), which battle would you interrupt and with what weapon?
The Battle of Jutland and this:

(fully complemented, of course)
Good to see you back, Consty, even if what you did sucked the pus right out of my hemorrhoids.
Too bad it takes a couple dozen to operate the engine alone
The Battle of Hasting - English Side
An Automatic Kalashnikov 47 with a lot of ammunition, and preferably, a combination of chain and plate armor. That would be great, I'd ruin all English history.

However, maybe Tricks has the blood of a legendary warrior and would have changed the battle in the end with the weaponry of the time?

Impossible. One person out of 300 can not change the outcomes of a battle against 20000 persians.

No I wouldn't A bunch of them could have had machine guns, but they would have run out of ammo eventually. The only remotely possible way they could have won, is if they had been able to kill Xerxes. And his advisors. That itself was a near impossible task, if not impossible.

Oh, right, like you spend all your free time
battling Persians...
"Sorry to get home late, Dear, I was off battling Persians again."
What about a shotgun and chainsaw?
Considering most early battles were fought where commanders could see their troops, a simple 81mm morter would pretty much decapitate the other side, and some white phosphorus would scatter everyone else. Not much plunder to be had though, after everybody ran away.
