Rome vs Japan

[Tiberius Geracius]

Nice kit. I have to wonder how many soldiers in the Japanies army could afford or wore that armor. Yes a Samurai would have a suit of armor, but not the rest of the common soldiers. Like I have said in a one on one fight the Samurai would most of the time win the fight. However in a unit (Ground battle no horses) fight the Legion has the advantage. While the Samurai are comming up the Legion would through their pilum (and trust me they work I have seen what happens when they are thrown at people). So before they even get to swords the Samurai have either been a little dissorganized from the missel attack or have lost a few soldiers. Next when the Samurai get to the Legion lines they face a wall of shields and swords. Though I am a little lacking in the various weapons the Samurai would have used, but they would still have a hard time breaking up this wall.

Again this is a what if. Just look at David and Giant. We have to look at not only armor, but skill, weapons, tacticts, beliefs, and much much more. Regardless it would be an interesting fight to see.
