Nettes video ;) hab das schon erfahren für den Zeitraum um ca 1050-1250.. ;) nur dass wir der Schildwall waren. Und einer der Gegner woltle unbedingt Berserker spielen und rannte direkt in uns hinein.
Resultat:
1. Wir gewannen (er hatte praktisch keinen Effekt erzielt)
2. Er hatte eine Platzwunde am Kopf, da er unbedingt der Meinung war ohne Helm loszuflitzen :D
hear the footsteps? Now imagine around 10,000 of those moving towards you and add to that the knowledge that your weapons are practically useless against it.
Now, to make things more realistic, imagine that all of your fellow barbaric pals are hopelessly undisciplined and will cut and run at the smallest sign that they're all going to die.
@midgetydeath Wow. Imagine that they had usually practically no armour on their feet, hands, neck, throat, face and ears. I'd believe any weapons is useful against that...
@elasolezito Each legionary carried 2 pilums to throw before going on a direct assault. A greek phalanx would be severely weakened before the initial attack by the legionaries. The greek weakness lay at too complex forces, hammer of the cavalry on the anvil of the hoplites + tonns of auxiliary troops. Roman legionaries were very good at adapting to many situations. There's a reason we have the term Phyrric victory. The Roman concept was simply better at dealing with phalanxes.
@elasolezito Can I just say that the Spartan phalanx requires every man in the formation to link shields. Pila make any shield they strike useless and may possibly still kill the man behind the shield anyway. When a volley of pila would strike a Spartan formation it would get full of wholes. Then it would just collapse as it no longer has any strength or integrity between the soldiers. This is why the Romans took Sparta in half a week!
@Kiwis4life and Greeks beat them in culture, plus Rome became a superpower, samurais, knights, spartans, vikings, are the top warriors in history that's my point and what im trying to say......
@elasolezito Fair enough, but I'm not sure about the Greeks beating them in culture, the Romans had some pretty awesome culture, amazing technology. Also, vikings were far from being the greatest warriors, viking means pirate, thats all they were. Knights is a far too broad term and the Roman legionnaires are definitely some of the best soldiers in history, they're the men that conquered one quarter of the worlds population...
@Kiwis4life What made the Romans good is cohesion and discipline. A Greek army consisted of highly trained swordsmen, or any other weapon they used. The Roman Legionares were adepts at fighting in formation, but as solo fighters they were no match for most lone soldiers of the time. A fine point, but one I won't abandon.
@werty498 Roman legionnaires practised meticulously in sword combat and most of the men in a legion were veterans of several ferocious wars. They were incredibly good fighters. They even trained with double weighted swords so when they used their real swords they felt light as hell. They didn't just win because of their discipline, they led with their shield and then skewered the enemy with their gladius, when they did this, even in single combat, they were unstoppable...
@Kiwis4life Untrue. A Spartan to an Roman Legionaire isn't even a contest. Spartan wins every time. For some peoples, fighting was a way of life. For the Roman Legionaires it was a professional thing. A caree. And while Rome could afford the best tutors and soldiers to teach others, they couldn't compare to the childhood obsessions of the Spartans. Now, I'm not stereotyping the non-Romans as expert lone swordsmen. But there were some Nations who were adepts in single combat.
@werty498 The Spartans and Romans are actually incredibly similar. The Romans were surronded by enemies in their early stages, for instance the Samnites, Etruscans, Pyrrhus and his Greek army, Greek towns in Italy and the Carthaginian empire. For the Romans it was either fight or die. They fought and became damned good at it, conquering every one of their neighbours. Legionnaires, not just because of their amazing armour, tactics and weaponry, but also because of their skill, won consistantly.
@Kiwis4life Unlike the Romans, the Spartans didn't have vast legions to call for backup. They were pretty alone out there, so if Spartans lost in the field (rarely ever happened,) it was a BAD thing for Sparta. As I said before, the Romans were career fighters, not the obsessed swordsmen of Sparta. That makes the whole difference. Have you heard the story of the Spartan boy? He was out hunting one day (which was forbidden,) and caught a fox. Love to tell more, but out of characters.
@werty498 Yeah i know that story, but the Romans career was fighting, as you said. Their life was warfare, just like the Spartans. There is almost no difference between a professional career soldier and a life-long warrior, except the career soldier will be much better trained and have much, much more combat experience as legions were sent into battle constantly, unlike the Spartans who didn't have the organisation of a professional army and so wouldn't be in battle as much.
@Kiwis4life This has been an intellectually stimulating debate. I won't change my mind, because I'm just that big of an arsehole. But you brought up many good points, so this was worth my time. Thanks.
@werty498 The Roman legionnaires were very, very strong, exceptional sword fighters, adept at fighting together, had amazing discipline and ran on nothing but a ration of wheat. They were hard muthafuckers. These men fought for 25 years and mostly longer. They were fearless, staring down their enemies before combat. The Romans were completely silent before combat while their foes screamed and shit, which freaked out their enemies even more. The Spartans are great but the Romans were better.
@werty498 When they led with their shield and slammed it into their adversary, the metal boss disorientated them and the shield giving them no room to swing their unwieldy sword, the Roman would be able to just run them through with his vicious, rending gladius.
@Kiwis4life true but i just said it because a roman general (maybe) said "we conquered you by weapons, and you conquered us by culture" and we must not forget Alexander the Great
@merl0c In one of my videos about Rome Total War. I have a Unit of Urban Cohorts against some Spartan Hoplites. When the Urban's threw the Pilums, the Phalanx was severely disrupted. This is why the Cohorts won!
@ukhan731 what you are hearing aren't footsteps. It's that roman armour, it clanks like that whenever you take a step. No idea if they meant that to happen, maybe it's a coincidence, but with even 1000 guys marching it's thunder in your ears. Many tribes drummed on their shields to create noise, but the romans just had to walk to create noise. The organized movements were probably an important part of the fear factor though.
I was reading the comments, and wasn't really paying attention to the video, but then I looked up and they where running right at me and it was kind of scary!
I think that they'd turn and run when they see me and about 50 other Celts, clad in blue war paint, built like UFC cage fighters, and wielding battle axes, long swords, and warhammers. Heck, they'd have every right to run when they see the Celts charge with our women fighting with us :)
@Daiwiz Oh, yes - Romans were terrified of Celtic women in battle. They were as strong as their men, commanded troops, and some, like Boudicca of the Iceni, wiped out nearly every Roman legion in Albion (modern-day England, Wales and Scotland).
@JohannVF Nearly, but it had a devastating effect on Roman morale. If the Brigantes in the north came to Boudicca's aid sooner, we might be living on an island called Albion (or Pretana).
it is so weird that we are so fascinated by the roman empire while all what they did is killing innocents all over the world , that will be like playing nazi army while burning jews or binladen soliders years from now , what is the difference ?
@julecezar213 They didn't fuck up like the nazis if the nazis took over the world like the romans took over most of the (known) world I'm sure we would honour them as well... but they didn't
@LewisTee08 they brought technology but they also enslaved people and stole all their fortune , britain maybe wouldnt be as it is today for sure but maybe it could be better .
That makes me want to fight, not against that i'm still paused trying to find a way to beat that but you'd have to have an army of heavy spearmen and a flank from the sides to beat that.
@naginnahehtmiolleh1 A three-man team, not an army. One acting as Shock and the others lightly armored infantry. Shock troops to front and center, charge the patrol. Light infantry squads would attack from sides/rear.
@SpringField911 it was the cavalry that used a wedge formation, if infantry were to do it theyd get pinned and have to fight on 3 side's theyd get cut to pieces, its inpractical and dangerous, infantry would never have done this.
@shiyboy4 They wouldn't do it unsupported, but I can imagine using a wedge to drive an enemy shieldwall apart would be advantageous if you had another regiment to help encircle the broken halves of the line.
"battle of watling street" 5000 Romans against more than 60000 Britons.
Romans choose the batlle terrain that was at the end of a sloop surronded by forest...the romans only had to waited for them to come and them smash trough the celtics using pillums during this they always used the wedge formation and it was like a meatgrinder....
Umh! towards the end of the charge, the unit looses all cohesion. I am particularly shock when the unit opens up their shields, leaving their bodies unprotected. Then they try to hack away at their opponents, using a slashing motion! Should they not be bunching up pressing their shields against their opponents and stabbing with those swords?!
The Roman's recruited men from many countries, including Germany ( Germania) so there were loads of German's in Roman armour. It's not irony, but accurate history being presented in modern day!
lol imagine being an actual warlord of that time.. like leonidas.. that would be ur point of view. lol. except they wouldnt stop and laugh.. u would probably get a knife in your stomach, bleed to death, get your head cut off and hanged from a building. :)
@1337ERIK1337 I thing you have no idea of the charakter of all german people, i hate Hitler an all people who adore him, so you can told them nazis but not all german people. If you do that you are not better than Hitler or Göbbels, becouse than you are an racist!
the roman legions were made up of many nationalities from across the empire. they also used mercenaries from other lands so it's not that crazy of an idea to see germans reenacting this. the name germania itself was the name roman used for it's german province
see heres the difference between an american reinactment and an european one. Here in the south part of America we reenact battles from our Civil war several times a year. Except we use real black powder rifles and muskets, just with no bullets only the powder for the satisfying BOOM and smoke effects. If these were American reenacters (LARPers) then the swords would be plastic and a huge battle would ensue
@swordo21 watch the vids concerning "Vyborg reenactement / reenactors". everyone armed with steel weapons and bashing the shit out of each others. (crazy russians ^^ but reenactement of battles in germany are a bit boring to watch because we try not to kill each other :D)
WOOT!! I wish Rome would have still existed... i hate the barbarians with a passion. imagine the huge onagers and the thousands of soldiers shaking the earth with shining armor that no other nation could master as well the war machines that they had devestated walls and buildings! The Roman army was disciplined, large, brave, and awesome!
@silverspoon97 The western roman empire got owned when the Huns arrived, and the eastern roman empire got owned when the Turks arrived. The romans only fought against poor barbarians untill real warriors from central asia came and destroyed them.
@sipahi15 haha you really believe that? You have to remember that that was a time of civil war in rome, their territorry became too large for them to handle, just like Macedon or France or Germany or Russia. There was war on all fronts and the romans didn't have the men they needed. Every great empire our planet has seen has fallen sooner or later because it became too big.
I'll tell you: until the enemy charged aggressively and without rules the roman army, rome ruled the whole europe. Have you seen 300, the movie? well, roman tactics was something like that.
and do not believe to the common immagination of roman soldiers: under Nero imperator it was stated that the minimum height of the first line soldiers was 1,75m. Tactics, organization, discipline and brutality was the rule of the roman legion, and not only a coloured clip show.
@Hinkel84 just a small part was colonized by the romans. and they mustnt pay taxes like other provinces and didnt use the law of rome because they would never accept it and most part wasnt colonized and was not tried again after the big losss in teutoburger forest.
yeah just terrible for an enemy army!

The Roman's recruited men from many countries, including Germany ( Germania) so there were loads of German's in Roman armour. It's not irony, but accurate history being presented in modern day!

the roman legions were made up of many nationalities from across the empire. they also used mercenaries from other lands so it's not that crazy of an idea to see germans reenacting this. the name germania itself was the name roman used for it's german province

see heres the difference between an american reinactment and an european one. Here in the south part of America we reenact battles from our Civil war several times a year. Except we use real black powder rifles and muskets, just with no bullets only the powder for the satisfying BOOM and smoke effects. If these were American reenacters (LARPers) then the swords would be plastic and a huge battle would ensue

@swordo21 watch the vids concerning "Vyborg reenactement / reenactors". everyone armed with steel weapons and bashing the shit out of each others. (crazy russians ^^ but reenactement of battles in germany are a bit boring to watch because we try not to kill each other :D)

I wish Rome would have still existed... i hate the barbarians with a passion. imagine the huge onagers and the thousands of soldiers shaking the earth with shining armor that no other nation could master as well the war machines that they had devestated walls and buildings! The Roman army was disciplined, large, brave, and awesome!

@silverspoon97 The western roman empire got owned when the Huns arrived, and the eastern roman empire got owned when the Turks arrived. The romans only fought against poor barbarians untill real warriors from central asia came and destroyed them.
sipahi15 1 year ago
@sipahi15 haha you really believe that? You have to remember that that was a time of civil war in rome, their territorry became too large for them to handle, just like Macedon or France or Germany or Russia. There was war on all fronts and the romans didn't have the men they needed. Every great empire our planet has seen has fallen sooner or later because it became too big.

@silverspoon97 The chinese army was also AWESOME! China had pretty good trained soldiers to. They could mess with triariis...
If Ancient china fought with ancient rome, a dream would be comed true :P The history books were MUCH LARGER ^^
Anyway ancient roman and chinese tactics and strategys are still used in some part in military education.
China and Rome where the mighyest nations in their time :P

TheEverchosen 2 years ago
I'll tell you: until the enemy charged aggressively and without rules the roman army, rome ruled the whole europe. Have you seen 300, the movie? well, roman tactics was something like that.
and do not believe to the common immagination of roman soldiers: under Nero imperator it was stated that the minimum height of the first line soldiers was 1,75m. Tactics, organization, discipline and brutality was the rule of the roman legion, and not only a coloured clip show.

@Hinkel84 just a small part was colonized by the romans. and they mustnt pay taxes like other provinces and didnt use the law of rome because they would never accept it and most part wasnt colonized and was not tried again after the big losss in teutoburger forest.
