I'm looking for some anime that has actual warfare, and by that I do not mean a -SHOUNEN ANIME- where the protags call out their moves like they're freaking pokémon.

I want armies, swords, firearms, "war". Era does not matter, and i'll watch OVAs/Movies/Series etc. Anything but Mecha is top notch ;)!


Thanks

Sad that you don't want mecha, cause LOTS of them have good "war" themes/settings
(code geass, gundam series, Legend of the galactic heroes, etc.)

Besides that, some examples I can think of are:
Kingdom
Shinsekai yori also has themes of war, though you should be a bit patient with that one
Berserk

Though if you're just looking for serious anime (not specifically war), then I can help you out (since you're missing a lot of good ones)

Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku for true war and the horrors it brings.

Seconding Oda Nobuna just because it was fun to watch.

Berserk definitely.

If you want something a lot more "political" try Magi the Labyrinth of Magic and 12 Kingdoms

If you want some modern warfare, try Valkyria Chronicles

Berserk Movies (the second one mostly).
Hellsing Ultimate - that one goes with some big supernatural powers, yet it is war-themed to the core.
