I have a feeling this link may be a trojan or malware...
I didn't click on it, but it looks like a suspicious link

The video is over two hours long. Maybe if it were broken up some, it would be better.

I was bold, trusting in my anti-virus software, and watched part of the video. He was basically saying how iron rods with one point sharpened were superior to throwing knife-looking weapons. I didn't recognize the Japanese words he used for them.
But they both amounted to darts. They stuck in wood, but not impressively. A good aspis would have caught them all. Never got to see the combat promised.
The warrior vs warrior combat has been discussed elsewhere, and to take a single hoplite from his phalanx and pit him against a trained assasin, is just silly. A hundred ninjas vs a hundred hoplites is a totally different thing, regardless. The hoplites knew how to deal with missile attacks. The ninjas weren't really front line infantry. Who cares, is the question that came to mind.
I didn't get a virus, I think, but what are all these Greek-looking horses marching across the bottom of my screen?? 8) I didn't watch but a few minutes of it. The cost in megabytes seemed extreme.

The link is fine, my security would have flagged it if not. The video is however much too long to sift through, from what I saw the aspis seemed about the right size, the curaiss looked a bit silly though. We have discussed the ninja vs hoplite nonsense here before, someone commented something like 'it's simple, hoplite falls asleep, ninja kills hoplite while he is sleeping'.

It was broken down into four separate videos, but these two are around 40 minute long. If your interested in watching them, just search "spartan throned" in youtube.

but then again the hoplite would be with an army, hardly easy to get at, even for a ninja. The whole point is, what would happen if a samurai or ninja fought a hoplite. The ninja and samurai have superior steel weapons, but can the aspis make up for the hoplites inferior weapons?
