"National Roman Legion"

[M. Demetrius]

Of course, you know that's the primary mindset behind those of us who advocate marching IN step. I've walked long distances with folks, and it sort of becomes a trail mindlessness to walk in step. With something going on like a song, a chant, a count, or whatever, the miles go by with less drudge.

And whether it's ever proven to be "Historically Correct Roman", it sure makes it easier to do things like wheels, column right, etc., when everyone is on the same foot beginning the turn. I personally think it looks better. I would always advocate same foot start (left being the most sensible for reasons already stated) and marching in step, advancing in step, throwing pila in step, etc., ad infinitum.

And that's my opinion, and I like it.
