Roman Legionaries Vs. Medieval Heavy infantry

[Ironhand]

Once again there is a lot more to war than just what category of soldier. Hell, it would be hard to pen it down if you were talking about personal individual combat let alone all the variables of war. What country? Troop numbers? Deployments? Terrain? About a hundred other questions just to even begin to get an accurate guess.

Honestly if you want to ask a more intellectual question debate equipment, strategies, strength and weaknesses etc. individually and then compare, however battle has a lot more to it than just numbers and tactical accessments. Honestly just talking about the French or English medieval armies could be a lengthy endeavor. Learn more and make your own judgement. If you're talking time warp and two armies face each other relegate it to fantasy and Off Topic. You may as well be talking about Star Wars vs. Stargate for all the useful info we'll get out of such a question.

Heres a better question- What if Fabrizzio (Machievelli's Art of War) was able to create his more Roman system military institution in Italy? Its still a what if, but it encorporates the medieval time period in a specific region and the Roman system in an issue that was brought up and relevant for the time instead of being a samurai vs. ninja type question.
