Rome vs Japan

[petrinus]

here, here! most agreed.....can you imagine though WWII had the samurai not been disbanded and that tradition not broken but improved on? japan tried to rekindle that archetype when the war broke out but officers with cheapened blades running about pretending to portray what once was, well its just not the same, had the legacy continued things may have went differently. its a shame the samurai were not consigned to some jedi esque position within the new regime, but then again as far as the imperial government was concerned, the bakafu proved itself via the shoganate, not to be trusted and the platform of warfare the europeans introduced was not within what was understood to be bushido.


romans with blackpowder and gunships, now thatd have been interesting
