Especially when a mongolian pony under campaign conditions would outlast any western war horse ever bred due to it's comparatively iron clad digestive system, diverse gene pool, robust skeletal structure, resistance to diseases and parasites as well as pure stubborn persistance along with the family bond with it's expert rider from growing up together and the instinctive communication habits that results in.

Sagrotan on the other hand, even western dragons are very intelligent so a modern western dragon would most likely trick some naive humans to set up a cell phone donation/recycling center to collect phones for it and then keep the phones and make the humans belive the phones are shipped on to poor people in developing countries... It would also found it's own religion with a tv network making gullible humans donate their life's savings and inheritance to it while living tax excempt and spending all it's 'fake' digital and paper funds on gold bullion XD

  35.  @eldorados_lost_searcher  well, the Zulu shields were afaik, rawhide, essentially, a far thicker drum skin, over a frame and afficed to a vertical parrying staff. It's a pretty genial construction as far as blunt and bladed melee and thrown weapons go as the properties of the rawhide makes it extremely light compared to whicker, plank or wood laminate shields while also elastic, resistant to cutting and, without backing, it's likely that a penetrating thrust can be snagged on the high friction elastic rawhide with an angling or twist of the shield to open up the opponent for a counter attack or even disarm them with a pull in a way that can also force the opponent to over extend and become unbalanced.

  39. Neutron Alchemist And the scutum was used as an offensive weapon alongside the gladius by punching exposed feet, chins, etc. with the reinforced edges of the scutum or it's metal umbo whenever possible to create openings for the legionaires beside you to stab the sides of the enemy your shield bash unbalanced in front of you. Also, as far as I've understood roman tactics, the intended task of the first rank was to knock the enemy warriors off their feet and push on, litterally trampling them while every rank stabbed each enemy as they passed regardless if the enemy was just down, injured or out of action until the enemy routed en masse and the equites took over the pursuit to make prisoners/slaves of the surrendering and riding down as mamy as possible of those who kept running.

  43.  @chakfungcheung3318  You are so mind numbingly wrong it's tragic. The phasing out of the Gladius stemmed from a change in military strategic doctrine due to economic, social, political and religious changes of the Roman Empire, not in the tech level of their surrounding adversaries. And a long slashing weapon like a falchion, sabre, tulwar or katana is far worse against armored infantry than a short stabbing and chopping sword with a reinforced armor piercing tip like many late pattern gladii. The Gladius was, in fact not replaced by the spatha in the role of a main weapon, the Spatha, in fact, was a sidearm, as the late imperial Legions, separated into border guards (Limitaneii) and mobile strike forces (Comitatenses) used heavy melee spears and throwing darts with flat, large oval shields as main weapons. I am unsure if the Pugio dagger still remained as a standard issue secondary backup by that time.

Horse transported infantry that dismounts to fight.

  62.  @txorimorea3869  humans couldn't actually smelt iron to anything even close to the homogenous cast steel produced today until the late 19th century. we just didn't have the furnace efficiency or the crucibles heat resistant enough to do it, but, it is and was perfectly possible to produce heterogenous forged steel. And I'd suspect the Roman forged steel produced at the height of the Imperial era was of significantly higher quality than most if not all the steel produced in the 10th through 14th century...

  74.  @fujikoalfonso7448  no. Just no. No beliefs have any inherent value,regardless if they are cultural, religious or political. The ONLY worth and value of a belief comes from it's foundation in testable fact, and thus, every single belief that is not relying on testable facts is worthless at best. However, when it comes to beliefs that rely on gaslighting and traumatizing people into beliving they have a debt to an invisible magical entity they have to appease through life to mitigate their post mortem sentencing and to propagate that delusional belief onto their children in a misguided attempt to 'save' the children a better chance at 'salvation'/nirvana, then, those beliefs has an objective negative worth and value and needs to be purged from living society by gradual education and child protecting legislation.

  75. I tried to make one, I sort of failed, sort of succeeded, but it isn't finished anyway, so it's still possible to salvage. I've made a boss from 2mm thick sheet steel, cheated by using 6mm plywood for the core which I tried to bend with steam over an iron frame, was not satisfied with the curve. Then I covered it in multiple layers of linen fabric affixed with watered down white wood glue brushed on to soak the fabric through and eliminate bubbles. Two layers on the back, four layers on the face, plan is to rim it with copper plate strips cold riveted through the wood, and then fixing the boss with hand forged Iron nails bent over washers on the back.

  97. And the Romans would most likely have been forced to stop to replenish losses of both men and ships several times along that many-year voyage.

Second, iirc, the US standard is measuring that diameter from the depth of the rifling groove while European gun makers measure that diameter from the main surfaces between the rifling grooves... And the bullet has to be fractionally wider to provide a gas tight seal and engage with the rifling. And the there's shotguns where the gauge is the number of full bore round balls that can be cast from an imperial pound of lead...

  116. I'd say the Romans would start out from the Red Sea after subjugating the Ptolemeian egypt and follow the coast of the Arabian peninsula, cross to india and then follow the coast around to the south china sea the same path as the first human settlers probably reached Japan in the first place, avoiding the murderous Jungles of modern day Myanmar, Cabodia and Vietnam as much as humanly possible, but stopping to replenish losses of both troops lost to skirmishes, weather, accidents and disease along with ships lost to weather and accidents of unknown waters many times along the way, so that the legions that might arrive on the Japanese islands would be equipped and trained in Roman fasion, speaking roman Latin mixed with slang of any number of asian languages and composed of Legionaries more of Asian than European lineage.

  126. I Don't Know as long as you are allowed to stretch your legs a bit by marching a few meters in either direction now and then it isn't that hard. The gard bit about guard duty is to stay as alert as possible until relieved. To me, the Italian navy guard duty shifts seem very long. During my conscript service in the Swedish mechanized infantry, we never had any guard shift longer than two hours, day or night. During field exercises, guard duty were most often one hour sentry duty in a foxhole followed by one hour fire watch in the 12-man tent rotated so that everyone got both early, middle and late shifts during the week-long exercises. Drivers exempted from the rotation as they had to be provided with 8h unbroken rest( including 6h unbroken sleep) for every 24h cycle. And my regiment had a dedicated motorised infantry company for guarding the base at all times.

If shit hits the fan, I'll bring a gladius as a sidearm even in this day as it's light, lacks a crossguard that might get stuck on magasine pouches or other parts of the webbing and the most likely situation when I'd have to use it would be inside a building or other tight spaces where a 1.1m rifle with just 20rnd mags might not be possible to swing around to an unexpected direction to face a melee attack.

  130. Argyris Pouggouras agreed, which makes modern police dogs morally questionable. The dogs used in the defence force militia I am a part of is used exclusively as sensors to detect human prescense near an objective to be searched and/or defended aswell as scanning the camp perimeter when/where we can't use tripwire alarm systems. The dogs and their handlers are pulled out asap at the first sign of hostile presense as they are only armed with pistols for selfe defence anyway. Even the batallion medics and MC orderlies are more heavily armed. The most live action those dogs get is when the civilian authorities call for volounteers to look for missing people, such as old people with dementia, lost tourists etc. and I hope neither they nor myself has to face the situations we train for.

And reenactors/martial artists have rules for how to transport their bladed weapons between home and events/training locations but no laws for storage. At the same time, Sporting weapons can be any kind of weapon used in competitive sports, including select fire combat rifles and automatic-only submachineguns (Any firearm using gas-sealed one piece ammunition or manufactured later than 1870 does however require a licencse, and so does crossbows over a certain draw weight)

  134. Glen Collins Well, also, our self defence laws only state that any violence utilised in self defence can't be undefensively disproportionate and has to be applied under immediate threat or ongoing attack. And the same allowances is made for intercepting attacks on a third party. Eg, if you as a hunter come home after a hunt and while unpacking see someone with a knife chasing someone out of a house, you are perfectly within legal rights  to unpack, load and shoot the attacker as long as the attacker keeps up the chase, but if the attacker spots you taking aim, stops and throws away the knife or flee, you have to hold the shot as the immediate threat has passed.

  136. Joshua Madoc And I want to do the same kind of crossover but adding my Word Bearer chaos marine profile from "Space Marine" (WH40k fps) as my player character. Starting out in raptor (jump pack melee with Stuka-like "you're so fucked I've got a chain axe with your name on it sirens") or havoc (heavy weapon support, heavy bolter, lascannon, autocannon or plasma cannon) configuration...

  158. I've only had Italian pizza in Livigno, and it was mediocre from my point of view. The best italian style Swedish pizza I've had was in a pizzeria in Karlstad named Vedugnen (wood fired oven) They use exclusively fresh ingredients and sauces mixed in their own kitchen (no canned ham or vegetables). They also use a wood fired oven, as their name suggests, in open view to the restaurant to bake their pizzas which provide the pizzas with a nice aroma of wood smoke on top of the high quality toppings. Also, I prefer thin crust pizzas, regardless if I have Italian style topping, a middle eastern kebab pizza or one of the numerous Swedish local bastardisations including things like french fires, moose meat shavings, sauce Bearnaise, pineapple, artichoke, local mushroom varieties, lingonberries etc... (not all at once)

This, this is why I trust in the products of H&K, LM Ericsson and AB Bofors for all of my anti-knight defence needs ;) With a unit of Archers from Karlskoga behind me, and an LM Ericsson signalling device beside me, I rest peacefully knowing that no mounted lord in shining armor will ever threaten my commoner flesh... SPFH77, the only archer you'll ever need. Also, a trained and equipped warhorse is more worth alive in ransom than any medieval commoner could even imagine, to kill the knight and be able to catch the horse would be like winning the Euro jackpot lottery two years in a row...

  163. As I'm not trained with shields or edged melee, I'd want something that's got big coverage and allowed me to use it instictively while focusing more on whatever offensive weapons I got to learn on the fly and avoiding or parrying the incoming attacks. My definition of too close for comfort combat starts at the 400m minimum range of the main weapon system I'm trained on, a 12cm towed mortar m/1941... With comfortable engagement distance riding in the 1.5-7.5km indirect range...

  172.  @draconisthewyvern3664  the majority of Romes enemies DID have metal armor to various extent. What they didn't have was Romes MASSIVE industrial capacity and professional military organisation of logistics, standardised troop training and merit based officer training on a level unmatched or unheard of by anyone other than the Chinese or Koreans until the late 17th century. While most of their European fielded armies of semi-trained levvies led by nobles/chieftains without organised supply trains or tactical drill training, their Asian and African opponents was more or less on the same level of equipment quality and logistics as the Romans while lacking in tactics and leadership structure as far as I've understood it.

  188.  @Enis617  that still doesn't explain why blood has any relevance in a modern context anyway? The only differences between human bloodlines are in minor spontaneous mutations that are irrelevant for procreation and survival in modern society anyway.
    1
  189.  @Enis617  Ehh, no. The differences in DNA between two random humans from two populations from opposite ends of the planet is usually less than the genetic difference between most sibblings of the same family... The only way DNA by population matters for humans is in stuff like lactose tolerance, vulnerability to UV light, and what viscosity our ear wax has. It has no relevance what so ever when it comes to behaviour, intellect or skills. And the only ones who choose to delude themselves differently are eugenecists and other nazi-like loosers.

  191. I'd disagree with the migration era sword+round shield having the advantage in anything but the comparably lesser facilities, less specialized skill and less processing nessesary to make the migration era leather/rawhide/cloth covered solid plank round shields and steel edged iron core arming swords compared to the advanced multi-layer laminate scutum and all steel gladius with it's gradually reinforced armor piercing tip and cleaver like chopping fore quarter.

  192.  @2ny424  eh... no. As long as you can provide credible reason for carrying a blade no longer than 9cm as a tool of your trade, or a stowed, unloaded firearm for that matter, it's perfectly legal in Sweden to do so to and from the location it's intended to be used at. Eg. In case of blades; A scout going to a scout meeting, a handyman going to work, a hunter going to the hunting grounds would be carrying both firearm and knife, a sports shooter going to practice or competition etc. And any of them may use their tools proportionately to defend their own lives or the life of another if such a situation occurs during transport.

  196.  @neutronalchemist3241  and the duelist/open order kit of the celts just couldn't disrupt the closed order formations of legionaries. Their longer swords became useless when the Roman tactics ensured there were almost no gaps the celts could exploit with their longer swords without exposing themselves to Roman counter attacks from slinger/javelin thrower skirmishers to field artillery like onagers, catapultae, ballistae and scorpii.
