From a historical perspective, the close-massed soldiery Evan depicted was probably a reality at Chalons. I only know of a few battles described where infantry waded through dead bodies and blood. Another one was Adrianople. Although we don't see the "many nations" premise, the number of casualties was very high. Legions and legions were lost there. :neutral:
