Hi, I don't mind theoretical discussions but not when it's between armies of different eras. To compare armies for example between pre-gunpowder to post-gunpowder armies is fairly pointless but I think as a whole members try to keep to the subject and I don't envy the moderators when discussions get out of hand. But the Roman Empire was so big and lasted so long you have a lot of area to cover with armies changing a lot from republican times to the fall of the western empire in clothing, weapons, armour, tactics and enemies that you are going to get these discussions and comparisons.
