Germanics btfo

Name a better battle formation than Testudo, it's ok sweetie I'll wait.

...

try this one, sicilo-nigger

check mate

...

Cantabrian circle

Macedonian Phalanx.

Weren't a lot of Germans Roman rape babies? Franks, for example.

Didn't some or all German Kangz claim to be descendants of Roman patricians? Explained the Holy Roman Empire.

*blocks your path*

lol read a fucking history book

No, the maniple system was made to counter the phalanx. Romans used phalanx in their early years, but they later adopted the more manageable maniple system that allowed to conquer the Mediterranean

Bombers with fighter cover ftw.

Battle formations don't exist in ranking, they are used for different situations. How do you compare a phalanx with testudo? you can't, they have a diffrent purpose.
This is what you get when you learn history with memes.

Actually chuckled.

Nice digits

Until you fight somewhere that isn't perfectly flat and tree-less

How come then that Germania was never conquered by the Romans?

How comes that germanics had to cry for help of HRE to help them against Balti tibes when they got BTFO in baltle of saule?

Testudo also happens to be the best University Mascot

shit fucked the reply

A few degenerate Spanish took over a spic empire of millions with this tactic.

Please educate yourself.

>hedgehog tactics
can easily be defeated by the 'enormous car' manoeuvre

>no ramp
pathetic

I prefer the brute force surprise attack doctrine myself. Much more aesthetic

its based in macedonian hoplits, and that technic was highly effective against swordsman cavalry and archers, however those long pikes were stupid to use in south america since natives didnt had pikes, we rather use just horse and guns there

Still tercios was most powerful formation until people improved enough the cannons to be a mistaeke having a non moving army

Lol, we beat you and niggered your flag.

The whole reason the phalanx disappeared from warfare was because it was too rigid against the Roman system. The Romans originally used the phalanx but moved to the new system which they adopted off the Samnites.

However, Alexander the Great likely had the greatest pre-industrial army except perhaps the Mongols and some other Steppe peoples

For some reson Denmark was never abble to defeat coronians in fact they got BTFO'd in invasion of Kurland, gold stolen and fleet sanken then coronians burned down swedish capital at the time, only teutons with help of HRE where abble to counqer Baltic and even THEN they wheren't abble to counqer Lithuania which turned its sword to south and east afterwrds and btfo'd slavs and mongols.

Guerrilla tactics. It can be adapted to anywhere on the planet, and all it requires is knowledge of surroundings.

The Testudo is too slow and leaves the unit vulnerable to being flanked. Which is why it was only used in certain circumstances when dealing with archers.

Germanania was worthless past the Rhine. Nothing of economic value to plunder for the Romans though they did bring in a lot of blonde qt slaves which were popular in the brothels, we know because of their brothel artwork.

Germania was just hinterland tribes of savages chimping out in the forests. Perhaps if you actually had cities the Romans would have tried

>Educate yourself
>Said german lmao

Most germans are tought ''safe version'' of history, many of you faggs don't even know historical lands of germans becose acording to your govt it promotos german supremacy.

no shit, it was only used to protect against archers and slingers. Why else the fuck would you turtle up with shields it's not like the guy in the middle of the formation is going to be hit from above by a sword
