With only a handful of men the group of Roman soldiers looks pretty intimidating. I can only imagine how terrified enemies were at the sight of thousands of Roman solders all marching down on them.
If there was more than one wedge, you could force the enemy infantry in between the wedges and attack them from both sides. It is what was used against Boudica, ending in a great ROman victory.
romeans were great tacticions, but every time they met new enemy the first battle was always lost for romeans, but they were learning from mistakes very quickly... Spartans were the biggest badasses :P
even after 2000 years we remember the Romans, im sure you wouldn't be so fond of them if they were still around

The march and turning seems kinda sloppy to me...but maybe i was too indoctrinated in the rigid german-style moving as a conscript. haha
