Not a bad idea, but spartan shields are big enough that they could form a decent shield wall from all sides; top, front, and flanks. I choose: Archemedes. He figured out, among other things, how to build a catapault, making the armour they wear next to useless.Gitsnik said:Using period weaponry, and thus keeping with the theme of course, I would be using three units of archers on the open field. First unit does long shots - death from above - whilst the second unit fires low and straight. Split the third archers into fire teams and flank them to get at the exposed soft-chewy centre for some headshots where possible.
Basically the same tactic I would use for any melee combat wombats.
Let's go with Doc. Brown in his Dolorean to see if you can spot one in the 400 bc. If not, I'll force you to watch MEET THE SPARTAN for all eternity!Rutskarn said:Alternately, get five guys with light support weapons. Ones that use bullets.Akalistos said:Their tactic is the shield wall. They use the shield to made a impervious wall around them. They make sure you can break through their defense. The best way would be to hit multiple side at once, weakening their defense and or a nice surprise attack with a bunch of archers.murlo360 said:hmmmm....I GIANT MAGNET ! and a trash compactor
That shield ain't gonna be much good against a modern machine gun.

This is much better then my idea, I mean the Spartan-IIs can't seem to survive half a granade, and I don't think that bronze chest plates can defend against modern explosives.Flauros said:a single grenade?
Yeah, you need three fortress to do it. She did it with only a small spaceship and this:Bob_Bobbington said:http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Blackstone_FortressAkalistos said:Bah! Mj. Carter made a sun explode, taking a whole galaxy. Just try to top that.Badong said:

Three Blackstone fortresses managed to do that. Now if all 5 were to fire simultaneously
