Thread: What if Rome had Panzer tanks?

Now for a better question - what if Rome had oil wells, oil refineries and the logistics to transport this oil where needed, as well as Panzer tanks?

Dude, it was a riddle. Don't think about it too much.

Edit: and the answer is, they would still have no ammunition.

They could've had a ballista in the turret.

And we would be using Balistae Tankae in RTW and EB.

They could still run over people, I guess they could be like elephants that don't get scared. Also, you might be able to mount a ballista.

I was thinking of the previous post where the Romans have lots of fuel.

They become very heavy taxis. Why? No ammunition.

EDIT: OR gladiatorial combat.

Now that would be fun...

Drag races at the Circuis Maximus!

Okay, anyhow, topic's over. I was really hoping to give it time to develop, but dumb luck killed this goose before it could fly.

If future(past?) Italian mechanized efforts are to be our guide, I'd say they would have been poorly built and engineered boxes o' death.

I'm pretty certain that the traffic accidents caused by these oversized taxis would be pretty bad when facing opposing armies.
