The end of the video should've said: "Thank you for listening to my presentation". cause slideshow framerate |

if 1 shot = 1 kill every time, without missing. in theory they could do this with the amount of ammo they could still realistically carry. |

Shields should at least slow down the bullets, it seems like they almost pierce right through multiple people easily. Plus dead Romans should be able to absorb some bullets. --- End quote --- Then we revamp the game with voxel graphics and turn it into a rogue-like |

--- Quote from: PhantOS on May 20, 2017, 02:20:26 PM ---according to Sun Tzu size comes in numbers, not weaponery 300 marines even with machine guns wouldn't be enough to take down 60,000 romans. first, they'd be way too intimidated by the sheer size of the roman army, which would obviously cause panic and morale to deteriorate instantly. second, the amount of bullets required to sustain 300 marines continuously firing on that many romans would cost millions of dollars and isn't even realistic in a military sense. marines have held out when odds have been against them. they'd easily be able to take out enemies with sheer range in mind. ammunition costs aren't really that high and could easily be airdropped (in which case i would assume they'd also be calling in airstrikes and such since the romans have no anti air capabilities) Most assault rifles would only be effective at around 100 meters and by that time, the romans can easily charge and close that distance enough to charge the marines. Once the romans are within 20 meters then the marines are essentially defenseless anyways and would probably run the standard range for infantry to engage at is 300 meters and max effective range with full length assault rifles like m16s is 800 meters. even then marines have mortars and machine guns which could easily destroy the romans, as well as air support and even armored vehicles --- End quote --- |

I feel like if you're counting air support or armor, then it isn't really just the 300 marines anymore. |
