Quote:In otherwords, the lack of logistical supply in the medieval era would dictate a Roman victory.The best medieval commanders had read all of the Roman and Greek texts on the subject and had additional centuries of experience to improve upon them. In reality, successful logistics depends on the ability of the commander, resource availability, and the local geography just as it always has. The Romans had just as many logistical failures as medieval armies. Even Napoleon had logistical problems during some campaigns.
