>>1039638

No, but an imperial roman legion would destroy an early medieval army.

No it wouldn't.

That's like saying Napoleon's army would beat a WW1 army.

>>1039638
Not a chance.

No way. The armor craftsmanship and sword quality was too fucking good. Plus early gunpowder firearms were already being used.

>>1039644
Rome fell to early medieval armies.

>>1039638
Define what you mean by a late medieval army. What country? What troops are used, and how many? Does it involve gunpowder units? Cannons? We know what a Roman Legion is and what it consists of, but its impossible to make a comparison without defining what you want by late medieval army.

>>1039687
Well those Roman armies were early medieval armies also.

>>1039709
If they could compete with the rest of them, it doesn't really matter. Hussars and Tercios would both destroy Legions.

I think OP was targeting the fact the Romeaboos seem to believe that Imperial legions could beat anything from samurai to marines.

>>1039879
They would beat Samurais.

They'd beat pretty much any less organised army. The average Roman soldier was better trained than a medieval Knight.

Fucking kek. No it isn't.

This is the modern ages, asking for their troops back

No, medieval knights were from noble origin and took a lot of time on training, but they weren't really as noumerous as Roman soldier.

If we consider reinansence armies, it depends of the general, in that age there were some inovative generals like Fernandez de Cordoba who would BTFO of Roman armies, and some generals who thought cavalry>all

What about an Holy Roman Imperial one?

Medieval tactics pretty much revolved around charging your opponent and bashing him with infantry and cavalry. Very rarely did they perform the complex combat maneuvers a roman legion performed.

An imperial legion would maybe not wreck a late medieval army, due to longbows and plate armor. But they would absolutely destroy a high medieval one under a competent general.

Excellent point, you've decisively won the argument.
