*zombies overrun you*

thats what cavalry is for

not OP but you both obviously have no idea how phalanxes work

not that you should

sweetie the flank of a phalanx is protected by footmen

Exactly, they should read on Philip II innovations for example.
tl;dr there are ways to protect the flank.

Is chainmail the ultimate zombie defense?

Bulletproof skin made from spider silk proteins and human skin cells is.

heh, nothing personelle, fleshbags

TESTUDO!

SIIIIIIIGMAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR

I guess zombie invasion is about an anxiety that most people in society are useless

Good thing zombies are too stupid to fight in formation.

No it's not you fuking pleb. It's about the fear of being eaten alive by a mindless monster.

He caused it to begin with

literally kraut chad look at that chin and smile

>the virgin pikeman behind

>zombie dragon breathes ice

Testudo isn't a good melee formation, its effective against missiles.

id fucking watch zombie movie in medieval setting

And then stopped it. What's your point?

Leather probably
Lighter, just as effective at stopping shitty human bites

you mean like game of thrones?

>He caused it to begin with

He said the words

He did!

basically

I want to protect that smile

>raise spears
>left face
>lower spears

no, more like shaun of the dead in medieval time

*STOPS YOUR ZOMBIE INVASION* (until some faggot knocks it down for plot reasons)

What happens when the zombie shish kebab takes up the whole spear how easily can they pull out before the sides are overrun

KANEDA!

You clearly have no idea how phalanxes are supposed to work. They weren't some meat grinder as you imagine, they acted as a battlefield anchor and an anvil for the cavalry and skirmishers.

They shouldn't have the intelligence to pull

>I MUST SAVE MY ROTTING ZOMBIE WIFE FROM THE OTHER ZOMBIES

Literally just this.

Eventually you run out of bullets.

TWD actually did it right when they just used a fire poker at the fence, made total sense. Too bad they decided to give them magic magazines of unlimited ammos after that.

Wrong

I was actually about to watch this now. How shit is it compared to the previous three?

>*STOPS YOUR ZOMBIE INVASION*

Fucking leafs

they just walk forward with spear hanging out the back

>stick a spear between two of the weird half circle shields
>use as a crowbar

*stops your jewish invasion*

u wot m8? That is the first one which is infinitly better than the other four movies

Dat tasty nose..

*STOPS EATING TO EAT*

It's great, but nowhere near as good as Night and Dawn. On par with Day and better than the Diary abortions.

*STOPS YOUR ZOMBIE INVASION*

Umm but rotting flesh and muscles is obviously stronger than live humans check mate smooth skin

So, it's zombie invasion, is it?

>don't know how the dead are animated
>don't know if they're contagious
>chainmail would keep gore, blood, filth and bodily fluids/remains in the suit, requiring intense washing and increased maintenance
>leather would be easier to wash off and wouldn't hold the same tainted particles as the chainmail

Wouldn't their gums just rot and all their teeth fall out and their skin would die so their fingernails would fall off? Plus I dont want to look like leatherman in what could possibly be my final moments

What the fuck are you talking about? Land is the fourth film in the series.

That all depends on how they're reanimated.
If they were held together by magic, sure that would happen, but if it was a virus, then it couldn't really reanimate you unless it's creating some sort of new life, which would essentially stop them being zombies ad make them mutants.

Sometimes you get an explanation why the zombies are so durable. Frankenstein in DotD mentions how their decomposition slows down when they're revived.

There are 6 films. #6 ran under the radar and unless you used wiki or were a die hard fan you wouldn't know of it.
Land is film 4.
Diary of the Dead is film 5. This is probably what user meant when he said other 4.
6 takes place simultaneously with or right after 5. Can't remember.

Haha try and get me now, zombies.

the pic is from pirates of the caribbean you dumb fucks

>tfw your image is so boring it's filename is more popular

Romans only beat them, because the phalanx works as a strong unit, as opposed to the Roman legion drilled in maneuver warfare.

Thats like comparing trench warfare of ww1 to tank maneuver warfare of ww2.

>romans only beat them because they were better
whoa really m8

...

*DESECRATES YOUR EMPIRE*

>whoa really m8
Yeah really m8, which is why I wrote it. Educate yourself. More books, less memes kiddo.

*STOPS YOUR BLACK ZOMBIES INVASION*

This has an expiration date, it needs to be kept in a fridge.

>Thats like comparing trench warfare of ww1 to tank maneuver warfare of ww2.
Should've just used tank warfare instead of changing it to trench. The same shit happened. The russians learnt their tactics mainly from studying the germans, and the germans learnt it from the ww1 predecessors.

ah yes, the surface level analysis, truly patrician

like knight of the dead? don't watch that, it sucks.

TRIARII
WARDOGS

Re-learning square formation fighting was actually one of the interesting ways they combated the zombies in World War Z.
We got none of that in the film though.

Zombie footmen

>zombie apaches

Assuming they're at most as strong as a regular human, how do zombies eat brains? I imagine cracking open a head with your bare hands and teeth is incredibly difficult to begin with, nevermind being a shambling corpse.

*Bitchslaps your horde*

More important question, would you fuck a zombie?

magic is the only realistically logical conclusion

Shoot, forgot image

*GETS BTFO BY GAULS*

*GETS BTFO BY NOMADS*

>spears neither remove the head nor destroy the brain

That phalanx wouldn't stop shit. A spear is a terrible anti-zombie weapon.

>traditional zombies were slain with a stake to the heart and/or burning of the body

Human muscle output is limited by the nervous system in order to avoid causing damage through over-exertion. A zombie without such limits could probably contract their muscles hard enough that it would tear their own muscles apart.

What was the solution in WWZ (the book)? There was the battle of Yonkers in which modern military weapons and training were disasterous against massed hordes of dead, as explosive ordnance weren't gauranteed to destroy brains and soldiers trained to shoot 5.56 into centre-mass were cocky at first but slowly overwhelmed.
I recall some successful medieval-esque tactic at the end of the book with spiked machetes or something where soldiers would methodically retreat.

Would a zombie need blood pumping to achieve that?

TRIARII

Why would zombies invade? Do they need more land for zombie farmers to pay taxes?
