Besides not having a whole lot of participants here, the main reason is that we have no idea how Romans fought, or anyone else for that matter. No one trains for months, and no one knows how they trained, or tactics, or marching orders, or trumpet calls, or what signa did, or much of anything, insofar as conveying an historical impression to spectators. You are thus doing a disservice. After all, no one faces death when faking it, which is what you're doing. And even when faking it people get hurt since no one is trained.

Now, if you just like whacking away on each other for bragging rights, that is fine.
