As an analogy Hitler's tanks were inferior to France's in both quality and number. The method in which they were employed made all the difference in battle.<br>

The Roman Legion, properly deployed, demonstrated itself superior to it's contemporaries. Solid armor, sound weaponry, judicious deployment, adequate logistics, superior engineering, any one of these could provide the decisive edge and, when properly used, the Roman Legion had all of these to employ. Alesia was won by engineering, Carrhae was lost to logistics, Zama was won by logistics and deployment. it's the little things that add up..hehe <p></p><i></i>
