I'd have to agree with Tiberius that Wagnijo's argument is not terribly well thought out and does not even address any of the clear points already brought up in this thread (and not worth going over again).<br>

There is no substitute for professional, hard, and effective training.<br>
<br>
The point is trying to address that Roman legionaries were somehow less well prepared and capable of one on one fighting than any of their opponents in whatever army, though it seems that as far as "opponents" this has seemed to focus on the Germanic tribes. I'm still waiting to see anything, logical or factual, that supports this blanket belief.<br>
