    Yeah I think that Legionnaire would end up being on Town watch. I don't think he would last long in a Legion out in the field, would need more training.

    Yeap i laugh with them , they such a blast men, i think they where camping aswell , + the wife's lol!

    i bet these guy's play RTW aswell

    but the Hoplite Class is very hard to use , they need'd more of them to be a great weapon not only 1 guy, like the roman guy, he can solo and with a group they would form a good strong wall too.

    As amateurish as this was, the advantage of the Legionary tower shield is evident here. Far more opportunities against a solo Hoplite.

    Then again, Rome never had to face the Hoplite at its best/peak, so we'll never really know.

    roman flexibility and maneuvers probably outmatched and outflanked the greek phalanx

    you never know, the hoplite may stab the legionary's big toe, causing him to trip and fall on his own sword.

    maybe

    all in good fun though, would love to get some of that armour
