I believe a volley of stones,javelins and arrows could be quite disconcerting to charge as well ! Defending cities really changed in WW2 when the German Luftwaffe simply flew over the French Maginot Line. Until that period fighting was still infantry based. I do completely understand having to have boots on the ground but most decisive battles are in the air in modern warfare. Even the Romans fought decisive engagements at sea ; for instance the Naval battle between Mark Antony and Octavian ( Actium if I am not mistaken ). Though in retrospect D-Day was mostly about the Infantry. I am looking for more info on the Romans entering Britain. I understand there are conflicting theories on whether it was invasion or a diplomatic takeover. I have read some of what is on RAT but haven't found much.
