Now seriously i dont have any problem with neither greeks or romans. Only that i think that a proper army using some style of hellenic warfare had more chances at victory then a roman army. As history showed.
yea it's a friendly discussion/debate on military strategy of the time all is good hearted fun.

Not to speak about the winter. Napoleon wasn't able to deal with it, neither were the germans.

The Germans could have been ready for the winter but Hitlers original battle plan was only geared for the summer and early fall, Hitler believed it possible to cover all that ground in one campaign season. Once the German troops had the adequate clothing and gear to combat the winter they were doing ok. not great but ok. Had they been ready for winter warfare i don't think all of those casualties would have happened. but once again after 1941 Hitler was his armies and Germany's own worst enemy he thought France and Poland were all his success, not his General's, this built up ego helped him make the mistakes he made on the eastern front ultimately costing Germany the war there.
