Could pic related (with enough supplies for 6 month) defeat the

No.

>>34776109
could this (op) somehow in 6monts unfag himself ?

Short Answer: No.

Long Answer:In order to defeat an empire, you have to occupy and hold ground. A mechanized infantry section cannot hold more than a village.

In order for them to even have a chance they'd need to win the favor of some powerful military or political figure to hold whatever ground they take. If they just operated by themselves, they would be a terrifyingly well armed group of insurgents but incapable of doing much more.

War isn't just winning battles. You forget that, you end up like Hannibal.

implying you never have to leave the vehicle iot refuel, pick up supplies, conduct maintenance, and you never get stuck and need to self recover yes. The firepower and armor would outlast the Romans.

Otherwise real world, they'd get stuck, be unable to self recover, blow an engine with no spare parts, and the Romans would just siege the vehicle in place while everyone inside dies of starvation.

And I highly doubt those soldiers would be able to compete any of their ssd, sharp, or mrt training, which would result in the soldiers unable to promote, raping each other and committing suicide.

>>34776118
Why not?

Nothing in the Roman Empire's arsenal can penetrate an armored vehicle and none of their weapons have the range that modern firearms have.

>>34776109
There were very few roads and those treds would tear them up. You won't be moving very fast or far in those. The Romans had access to shit like Greek fire. Or other burning oils. They could just Molotov the shit out of an armored vehicle and make it a living hell to be inside.

>>34776168
Think from the perspective of having to fight them as a roman.

Not a legionary, because OP stated Empire.

You're Legate Fucknut, and you're sitting around eating grapes while being blown by a pair of smoking hit Egyptian whores, when a messenger comes in saying there's a bunch of bandits wreaking havoc with gigantic, invincible armored chariots. Centurion Shitwit went out with his men to deal with them and got blown to bits.

Well that's a problem. But these invincible chariots are crewed by men, yes?

And men can be outsmarted, deceived.

So you send a pack of hookers to fuck these men silly then while they're drunk and distracted you poison them, set fire to their supplies, do whatever you can do without having to fight them in a straight up fight that you would certainly lose.

Assuming the enemy will be retarded and fight in the way that you're incredibly advantaged against them is how you lose.

>>34776168
You don't have to penetrate armor to disable an armored vehicle.

They could dig traps for them and burn the occupants out. The wheels on the striker are a weak point and eventually all the cameras and shit would try damaged or obscured.


They could buttfuck any force that came straight at them. But eventually the romans will know of their existence and someone would come up with some sneaky shit.

In real life tho they occupants would get killed while taking a piss or starve to death

>>34776251
What if the crew never left their vehicles?

What if the Romans don't know the chariots are piloted?

What if the troops had strict orders not to fuck the women like retards?

Again, you could put an entire battalion into this scenario but you aren't dealing with the logistics. In fact, I would say anything short of a bde size element would get wrecked- as that's the first time you're looking at internal maintenance and distribution with a capacity to secure its own logistics.

The issue is barely firepower, which is what your uneducated (not intended to insult) mind thinks war is centrally about, the real issue is how this future death team is going to receive and conduct logistic resupplies.

>>34776109
Depends.
Do the Roman actually know what the fuck is going on? Assuming they have intel and can understand it, you can bet your ass they could fuck them up. Losses would be heavy but there's a point any army can rely on. The enemy is also human and has needs.
Deny them food, water or thing like good rest for long enough and you've got it.

Unless the Romans don't fucking know what they're fighting and 90% of them decide that fighting Jupiter Himself is probably a bad idea and bail.

>>34776431
Since none of them speak Latin and Greek... no.

>>34776451
They could destroy everything but they couldn't occupy the cities. They could probably kill everyone in every major city

>>34776368
Similarly to gate actually. They fucking wreck the combined armies of like 5 nations in a two hour battle, then the rest of the series is humanitarian efforts and negotiation. If it was a "there is a portal to an alternate earth that happens to be in the north of Italy in the 3rd century bc" and you're an armored column then in an opening salvo against a legion they'd get fucking slaughtered. Then if the tank regiment had the good sense to negotiate from a position of strength they could probably make Rome bend the knee. If they had support and the ability to get back to earth/get more men then it would be exactly like Gate

If not it would be like how the Nazis captured the capital of Yugoslavia and all it's defenders entirely by subterfuge.

>>34776284
>What if the crew never left their vehicles?

So what if they didn't? Anybody with a brain isn't going to try and fight them.
That, and being inside a vehicle doesn't make you invulnerable. Even modern vehicles have visibility restrictions, and are capable of being stuck on shit even without people actively trying to sabotage them.

>What if the Romans don't know the chariots are piloted?

A single look at the vehicle, while they're on march, by a spy. Vehicle Commander sticking out the top.

And that's only for the idiots. The Romans knew what war machines were. They're not cavemen who would think that a tracked vehicle with people around it is some sort of dragon.

>What if the troops had strict orders not to fuck the women like retards?

Strict orders from who? Their pantywaist lieutenant? General Gobsmack who's commanding a platoon for some reason?

You miss the point. The point is that, if you're clearly outmatched, you don't fight the enemy on an even playing field like you're a pair of bulls butting heads. You have to think from the perspective of the enemy, instead of insisting that it work like some stupid video game where "well they only have sword, it no work on IFV!"

>>34776315
Once again, look at it from the perspective of an ENTIRE EMPIRE.

If you're an empire, you don't have to defeat these people on a battlefield. They've only got six months. You've got years. Eventually, they'll be brought to heel by being unable to use their war machines, or feed their weapons, even if they loot the countryside.

See, the Roman Empire had dealt with foes they couldn't defeat before. They couldn't beat Hannibal on the battlefield, God knows they tried. So they let him run wild and wear himself out, while they attacked Carthage itself where Hannibal wasn't. Roman Generals weren't morons.

Even if they took Rome, who cares? There's always another city to rule from, and they have to hold each thing they take. Eventually they'll be spread too thin.

>>34776451
That might just be sustainable enough to force the roman government to cede power to the commander.

>>34776501
You are pathetic for not understanding what "6 months of supplies" means to forces this size with this kind of equipment

>>34776501
We're talking about an artillery company, which consists of roughly 200 people trying to occupy and hold all of western Europe at a time when all roads are basically gravel, no way to resupply, and don't speak the native languages. Are you fucking high right now?

>>34776534

>>34776486

That someone as dumb as you could never teach to all the citizens of Rome, or even one other single human being. And plenty of groups sacked Rome over the years and none of them stayed in power much longer than a year or two at the most.

>>34776109
no and here is why: disease, food, and good old trenches. any general in that era would be aware of chariot warfare. all it would take is one report of a vehicle getting stuck and suddenly every roman army has a trench dug around it. that combined with the fact that roman wood fortresses would have had trenches around them would prevent them from mounting many effective attacks.\

certainly there is also the phycological effect of mowing down enemy soldiers.
ammo consideration is also a factor, a compliment of this many troops would have 10s of thousands of round of ammunition but the overwhelming, numbers and either mob or manipal tactics use of force would swiftly deplete this ammo supply. archers would be used to voly fire, and using traps to counter cavalry of either classical, or the modern variety.

what makes modern warfare better for soldiers of first world countries is supply, logistics, and medicine. before ww1 and 2 most conflict's causalities involved mainly from complication due to sepsis, and other infection diseases.

you could certainly make a mark on history with this many troops, but any long term inconvenience for the local govorner would be swiftly removed if a quality commander was fighting this force. I suspect the minimum number of trained roman soldier to defeat this would be 3500 with 20-30% causalities

>>34776552
I'm not sure. There were a lot less people back then and they were spread out. You have to blanket Europe and north Africa and the middle East and parts of Asia and the Mediterranean.


You could just blow up Rome and there wouldn't be a Roman empire

>>34776315
No. In 6 months they'd be dead and likely strung up on crosses along the Appian Way.

>>34776501
Pic related is not 6 months worth of supply.

T. An armored company executive officer

There are literally 0 field maintenance teams there. Literally no fuel or water carrying capacity in that organization other than the 72hr basic load each vehicle has loaded.

You showed me 72hrs worth of supply, no where near 6 months.

The sheer space it takes to hold 6 months of supply for an element that large would require a full infantry platoon, or two worth of soldiers to protect.

Tracked vehicles require refueling a 100+g size per 24hrs. Wheel vehicles approximately 30g. If they're stationary you can push those numbers but since we're assaulting the Roman Empire you're going to be busting going dry if you can't promise a resupply of fuel every 48hr.

>>34776626
The real question is how many years would it take the romans to figure out how to reverse engineer firearms or cumbustion engines

>>34776431
>If I knock our Zuckerberg, I'll own Facebook!

>>34776562
this isn't considering fire, or the fact the specialist time-traveler-mcfuckstick cant call mary-jane rotten crotch and complain that he shot 25 legionaries and a centurion.

sure if the commander of the aggressor was lucky as fuck, and smart too he might be able to seize power with his techno magic.

but unless the roman army decides to fuck up royally. fabian or someone would have been able to come up with something annoying to slow these modern troops down enough to shit all over them. remember roman logistics and curriers is better than no logistics.

>>34776671
They also had infinite resources being sent through the gate. If they needed fuel it was brought through the gate. If they needed ammo it was brought through the gate

>>34776552
At this point, what the fuck are you even trying to figure out?
The go-no-go point at which a (unspecified) modern force would win against an (unspecified) Roman Empire?
You don't even fucking lay down what the win conditions are. Cultural enrichment? Monetary reparations? If it's pacification, then just firing Rome itself could be easily done. If it's something like annexation or whatever then you need YEARS of work, most of which isn't anything militaristic anyway.

You could take a win-on-paper done by a small operation done close to the ground. Find the Emperor and figure out how to make him shake your hand.

Heck, you need a heavy narrative exactly for that reason. For all you know, said temporary-displaced military force of yours might very well just decide to go mercenary or just swear fealty to the Emperor right off the bat.

>>34776654
Firearms? They could probably figure out black powder relatively easily. Internal combustion though is another matter. Figuring out you have to refine petroleum into gasoline or diesel is probably too far for them to go.

>>34776686
Magic

>>34776109
I doubt they would have the stamina to annihilate the entire Roman army, so no.

>>34776654
Neither could be done. Best thing would be to drop basic knowledge of black powder and how to make good steel on them. Watch them take over the world in the next forty years (or fail miserably).

>>34776654
They probably couldn't.

They could probably get some ideas from the mechanisms, but modern technology is the product of thousands of years of steady innovations.

Even today, if you got the average person to take apart an engine, look at it in motion, they could probably figure out how it works on a mechanical level, but if you then asked them to build it from the ground up they probably couldn't do it.

Because you need precision engineering, advances in metallurgy, and understanding in electrical power generation, as well as creation of proper fuel and the ways of dispersing that fuel to mix in the combustion chamber and explode to create force.

In order for them to reverse engineer it properly they have to know what it's made of, how to make what it's made of, exactly how every bit of it works, and then they have to recreate whatever it runs on, and know why it runs on what it runs on. Simple work for a team of engineers today, but impossible for a team of engineers back then.

What you'd need is a bunch of renaissance men to steadily develop the empire's ability to produce the basic materials needed, and then once they can actually make the components, then you can start.

>>34776733
But would have existing examples of what you want to make make it happen any faster then it actually occurred

>>34776771
The line-up of technology to recreate a working example is too long.
First, you need better metallurgy, which is not that easy. Not to mention the underlying chemistry behind the more advanced materials.
Then, you need a way to standardize things. Do you know why the industrial revolution really happened almost overnight? Little something called the micrometer really came to be in 1844. Everything before is crafted by hand and really regional. After that... oh boy!
Mills, lathes and press-machinery all followed. Specialization came about then it all took off.

Depends on where they are. Let's assume they are in the heart of the Imperium Romanum, Rome itself and they occupy some hills around the city, kind of laying siege to it, having interlocking sectors of fire, being able to shoot every fucker who attempts to enter or leave the city. That actually might make them capable of starving out the city over a period of 6 months, given they destroy some key buildings (such as water supply, markets, storage areas, set fire to the subura, etc.). Once the infrastructure is damaged, disease and internal conflict are capable of finishing off the "brain" of the Imperium and with it the provinces as well, since they rely on military and bureaucratic control of Rome.

Implying of course that no flying shields sent from Mars descend from heaven in order to fuck up our little mechanized infantry division here.

>According to the earliest proof in the annals of the poet Ennius , King Numa received the Ancilia from his adviser or lover, the Source Nymph Egeria (Ennius, Annals, 114). Later sources tell us that the shields in the eighth year of Numa's reign were suspended from heaven during a plague epidemic as a divine gift. Correspondingly, the historian, Livy , describes it as 'celestial weapons' ( caelestia arma : Livius, Ab urbe condita 1.20.4).

>>34778213
Even the mongols that killed entire cities did it as a big statement to other cities to just surrender and not invoke the same treatment.

>>34776109
Depends on the effective range, chambering and optics on infantry weapons.

It is unlikely but not impossible given perfect circumstances.

Given and appropriately fortified position they may be able to defend themselves from the roman empire for 6 months.

But the only way they could defeat the roman empire would be if every man aged 13+ ran at them head on, single file.

Any strategic multi-fronted warfare would be out because if the mechanized infantry group were separated into more than 2 groups they would immediately be stretched too thin.


They could probably take on a few thousand Roman soldiers in battle.

>Catholic jokes intensify

>>34782415

And yet you still shitpost on /k/. Given a complete isolation and breakdown of the city, Rome would fall, just as any other city. The difference between ancient and modern military is the fact that our example here would be able to reach most parts of the city with devastating effect and no effective defense possible by the Romans. Once the critical infrastructure breaks, the whole city goes down the drain. 6 months in and there'll be a lot of problems.

>>34782494

by "fall" I don't mean the disappearance of the people, but a breakdown of function and order to a point where it can not work effectively anymore, thus leading to a decline in power and influence over provinces, trade, diplomacy, etc.

No, before the advent of Christianity they were very familiar with this kind of thing. Roman astronomers had lists of heavenly phenomena that are practically identical in many cases to modern UFO cases.

If you have a better map for tactical display, feel free to share it. Meanwhile I will work with pic related and put OPs troops on the field. You can provide some detailed information on the demographics and military strength of Rome at any given point in time. IIRC they didn't have a standing army inside or even near the city, since military presence of such sort was seen as a precursor for tyrannical exercises of power.

>>34776109
Think for a goddamn second. A force of that size could be overrun by an angry mob, even if the mob lacked guns.

Now imagine the mob is disciplined and organized, many times larger, has slings and bows and swords, and is willing to accept massive casualties and constant defeats and still keep on coming.

Not the other guy, but I do feel the need to weigh in here. I'd just like to point out that Rome withstood sieges much longer than 6 months and won. For instance the Ostrogoths laid siege to Rome for about a year between 537 and 538 and the Romans were able to fend them off. Also, even if a mechanized infantry platoon was able to hold a fixed position of power over the entire city with no resupply for six months, I doubt they'd be able to cause the level of destruction necessary to bring Rome to its knees. Even assuming they were able to maintain an effective siege against the city, the civilian government could relocate.

>>34776109
Honestly, probably.

The Roman empire collapsed into civil war at the drop of a hat. Look at how many emperors died of natural causes in old age, it's a short fucking list. Drive into Rome, kill the emperor, retreat, watch the resulting civil war, drive in again, kill the next guy/guys, GOTO 10 until the barbarians are at the gates.

>>34776109
Others have said this in the thread but there's not enough supplies and personnel to accomplish this objective.

Now on the other hand how many space marines would you need to defeat the Roman Empire? These guys can do fine without a supply chain, and if they needed it they would drop it down.

>>34782834

The plan here is to move to advantageous positions in the hills and fortify. Close off all roads leading to Rome, employ mines and obstacles. Any approaching groups of people can be taken care of the moment they are spotted by long range fire from the vehicles and mortars. In fact, no visible group of Romans would be able to advance significantly towards the fortified positions.

Then, shell the city so the whole subura burns down. This was a common thing to happen even in ancient times. Plus some engineering to flood half the city. Some additional fire on the water supply and other important buildings.

There is not an awful lot left after that. Have snipers engage everything that roams around the city walls, mortars shell the city and the other troops fend off any attacks from outside.

>>34776284
>What if the troops had strict orders not to fuck the women like retards?

Consider how well this has worked historically

>>34778444

By the time those privates die of starvation and mreconstipation they wouldnt know it in Hispania.

>not enough supplies
Which supplies, ammo? Drop a few rounds and you are going to destroy lines of Roman legionnaires.
>not enough personel
Clandestine OPs to destabilize leadership, infrastructure, and communication would be highly effective at destroying an empire in an age where just directing your troops was so dificult.

Guess what hapent 2 years latter... Yes uprising and war again.

>>34782985

I'm not sure about this polish company, but IIRC a US Marine rifle squad consists of three fire teams with 4 soldiers each (PVT, CPL, L/CPL, L/CPL) and a SGT. It should be somewhat similar in our case, meaning there are not a lot of privates around.

OP said defeat, not take control. I'm pretty sure the loss of Rome would be a defeat for the Imperium. Plus, in our scenario the troops have a solid 6 month supply.

>>34783012
You can defeat a city? An Empire?
You can defeat part of the army in a battle. Yes. For 6 months you will win all the battles in a radius of xxx clicks. Then what?

The Empire? No.

OP should the clarify what it means.

>>34783012
But the loss of Rome would be the perfect excuse for a power hungry general to go and take the city under the pretext of liberating it, and after hearing what they're capable of, or seeing it for him self in a skirmish he'll more than likely take the option to siege the company and starve them out. And before you say they could break out of the siege, where would they go? They've lost before they even begun since 6 months worth of ammo and fuel, gives them at best 1 year to do anything of import and as soon as they run out of ammo/fuel they're fucked.

>>34783050

Do you even read what I write? The goal is to inflict significant damage to the cities critical infrastructure, cut it off completely from outside help and otherwise shell it as much as supplies allow.

Result: a ruined city and political apparatus that leaves the rest of the Imperium Romanum in conflict with local opponents.

>>34783056

Not possible, since the armies are located outside... just read what I fucking wrote. There won't be any avenue of approach that any army could take towards Rome.

>>34783057

>>34783065
What weapon did the Romans have that is capable of destroying a modern armored vehicle?

>>34776315
Is this accurate in terms of a polish motor company? Multiple mortars at a platoon level? That's a fucking lot of mortars.

>>34783072

There are many ways to destroy anything, the question is can you apply that. And given the range of our firearms, they can not even reach us with effective weapons (such as burning, etc.).

>>34783009
Try doing all of that with the handful in ops picture. They'll run out of ammo and fuel in less than a day without ressuply.

>>34783105

>OP says we got 6 month supply
>They'll run out of ammo and fuel in less than a day without ressuply.

Nigger, does anyone here even read the scenario description?

>>34783111
He says they have a 6 month supply but how do you think theyll pull it off? Is it going to magically appear? Do they have a supply chain that the romans can target? If they do have a suuply chain it leaves them even more limited because they have to protect it.

>>34783126

I'd go with the simplest explanation: Air drop and caches.

>>34783057
Hahahaha.

I do. Do you think an Empire that big works like that. Jc, like I said you what a city and nobody cares. "Destroy important infrastructure" like what exactly? Aqueduct? Dgaf. Road? Dgaf. Sewers? Docks? ... DGAF.


Local enemies? Do you even Rome bro? You kill the horseguy who wantednto warn the next fort. Who is going to tell them? And who is telling the enemies¿ How do you capture the Cesar? Who is he? How do you siege a city that big?

You kill everyone. And next in comand 500k away takes comand. Impling that sombody scapes and is able to get there.

>>34783238

Please, learn the English language. It's not too much to ask.

Please read up on military strategy, civil emergencies and critical infrastructure. The CIA handed out fucking comic books to the people of various countries, instructing them how to sabotage the economy in order to bring their country to the knees. If enough problems are cause, people DO give a fuck. Once their supply breaks down, people are fucked.

I already gave you a map where you can see how to besiege Rome. If you can't read a map, maybe kys.

>>34783135

So it is battalion + fully functional airbase with ground personnel and some aircraft to deliver those supplies? You should have stated so.

>>34783280

No. OPs scenario stated his troops and a 6 month supply. It does not have to be a completely logical setup, since, you know... polish company in ancient Rome.

When troops are magically deployed there, aircraft drop the 6 month supply in the area, which is then collected and cached.

>>34778444
Really convenient for the modern forces to spawn just outside the main capital of rome

>>34783366

Are you retarded? OP said "this company vs. Rome", he did not state any further details. Thus I asked "what if they are directly outside the capital?". If they were in reach of Rome itself, they could cripple the Imperium Romanum into a defeat. Is that so hard to understand?

>>34783301

What they have firearms? Or is it just troops riding in their tanks?

>>34783399
Calm your tits, not everyone is the same poster.

OP's question imply the company vs the full might of rome (hench mention it being at it's peak).

What you are proposing is the same as having them spawn directly behind ceasar himself along with the military leaders of rome hench why having them spawning directly outside the capital removes any fun from the discussion since the end result is obvious making it convenient for the modern forces.

>>34783412

OP posted pictures of the troops he envisions. Is this a foster home for mentally retarded people or what?

>>34783429

That doesn't change the question of emplacement. He did not specify this, people complained such a small company could only take a city and that's it. The question thus is: where do they appear in our magical scenario?

I proposed they could to significant damage if they were to arrive in Rome, which would be the most valuable target.

>>34783450
>where do they appear in our magical scenario?
We dont know since OP is faggot and is gone.

What you proposed is correct but only if they get to rome with minimal losses in firepower. If they spawn 150 kilometers to the north everything will change.

How the company get the 6 months of supplies is never specified so it could happen in any form such as airdrop, magically appearing out of thin air when needed, it's in a couple of trucks, it's hidden in the ground, it's in a huge pile right next to the spawn point etc.

The company might not even spawn together but spread out for. The company might just have been graped right out from poland and told by OP himself to
>Defeat rome
and just appear somewhere in the roman empire.

So again, them spawning just outside rome's capital is convenient but possible in the end so your initial calculation is correct since it is logical. It's not like this thread is any great to begin with due to OP being so vague.

>>34783506
>graped
grabbed*

Dont get any funny thoughts now.

>>34783506

Did you look at my map? A plausible scenario would be the deployment of troops and materials in the vicinity via air drop. All questions sufficiently answered in a "polish troops in ancient Rome" scenario.

Do you simply argue for the sake of arguing against someone here? All those what if's are completely irrelevant. The question is can this company fuck up the Roman empire and the answer is yes, if they strike where it hurts the most.

>>34783506

I don't want to appear rude, but I do get the notion that certain civilizations dumb down the intellect of people. Anglophone countries seem to be very efficient at that. A Japanese or Arabic person frequently uses obvious context relations, such as introducing himself just by name, omitting verbs and other words completely, since they're apparent from the context of the conversation, gesture and tonality. The same does also work in English and other languages, but is less aware used there. Given our example here, it seems that English speaking people fail to grasp the most obvious connection in a given context. Common sense isn't common, is it?

>>34783525
>Did you look at my map?
Yes and? Im not arguing against the map and since I said your calculation is correct then I obviously saw it
>Do you simply argue for the sake of arguing against someone here?
If we all agree then there is nothing to talk about.
>The question is can this company fuck up the Roman empire and the answer is yes, if they strike where it hurts the most.
Well obviously yes if they can but at this point any formation would work as long as they could strike where it hurt the most which is obvious. There is no way to argue against this.

>>34783613

If you want to expand on a plausible answer here, check out the necessary data on Roman defenses (troops, movement speed, buildings, etc.) and place them in the map. You can divide the platoons further, establish patrols, wire fortifications, etc.

Then you can wargame your way through the possibilities.

>>34779949
You could probably shatter the empire by glassing any mayor city and killing any person of importance, but you probably won't ever be able to hold anything, you would just be sending every big civilization back to the stone age for no reason.

>>34776441
> unironically
Do you think they might have considered "ironically" fighting and dying alongside US forces? Back to middle school moron, and learn to use words appropriately.

>>34776109
Im not sure if those vehicles could cross any bridges of that time.

Actually I think with some lies they could put people in terror, I in such situation would just say that I am a super soldier sent by aries god of war mars in order to cleanse rome of the scum, though I doubt anyone would understand me, in that case I would just murder my way through the imperator's quarters and end his life, while seizing power and means of production (get it?) with my fellow comrades, long live new rome, long live, molvania!

>>34776501
>patriot missiles
for what purpose? Maybe you could shortcircuit them and use them as ballistic missiles but that would be highly ineffective

Is /k/ unironically retarded? All the autists trying to sound smart about supply issues are either deliberately ignoring the fact that this modern force has access to interdimensional travel/time travelling equipment or are for some reason pretending they could not use that technology to instantly teleport supplies as requested by the troops instantly anywhere on earth.

A squad might be too small of a group, but a company or a division could enslave the entire planet by setting up client states and delegating police actions to local forces, think of it as training the ANA except they don't have AKs to green on blue you with.

This thread reminds me of the aztechz and the spanish

It was a war where one army fought a advanced but small army

If op is talking ablut killing the roman army yeah they probably could do it at first they woild meet the army in an open field they wouuld get wiped oit but they would learn they i wonder how fast they could adapt but god knows it would probably be bad for he romans

I see this happening

The modern army goes from town to town killing all roman spilders until they reach the rome and kills the army there

>>34776431
They could drive into a pit trap beyond the city walls, and sit there at the bottom of a hole while the Romans built an aqueduct to convey the Emperor's morning piss onto their heads every day.

The Spanish in America had the serious advantage of being welcomed and carrying diseases that significantly fucked up the native Americans. By the point they figured out that they were not the return of the technologically advanced fair guys from their history, they already were pretty fucked up by disease.
