Pointless thread really, but yeah...

Compare your favorite RTW units something else... I don't know how else to put it.

Complete the list below:

Praetorian Cavalry- M60 Medium Tank
Praetorian Infantry- Riotshield-wielding SWAT
Urban Legionaries- Riotshield-wielding national guard
Arcani Ninjaz
Legionary cohorts- __________
Legionary first cohorts __________
_____________________ ___________


And so on...

I object to comparing the Volksgrenadiers to an obscenely overpriced amokable unit.

You're just comparing things from different eras which are kinda the same but not really, which seems really pointless to me...?

Knights were already there - see parthian cataphracts. Although the catas of this period were not yet completely covered in armour.
