Imagine being in the middle of that. War really is something
Looks like the map of Portugal.
>>84473209Imagine a titan playing a game of pick-up sticks with the spears after they're dead.
>>84473209Looks based. Provided I didn't get stabbed in the neck, I'd love it.>>84473227Imagine riding the titan's neck and directing him to stomp on your enemies.
>>84473209they are all shlubby disorganized modern amateurs not high testosterone ancient men actually trying to kill each other who have trained all their lives and are actually risking them, placing their faith in respected veterans to command them
>>84473238>Provided I didn't get stabbed in the neck, I'd love it.You might not like the neck-stabbing odds...
>>84473209That's hecking fun if done with frens.https://youtube.com/watch?v=1xGGYk5kHLc
>>84473255Neck-stabbing odds are actually pretty low. Much higher chance I'd just get knocked over and trampled. But as long as I got to stab a few guys and survived with my limbs intact, that'd be cool.
>>84473243Average hoplite was a farmer tho.

>>84473276he was a citizen soldier, a small landowner who could afford the hoplite gear and they would train from an early age for this role, which the greeks did and encouraged with their athletic culture, their gymnasions and the olympics, you are just seeing a rabble of modern LARPers
>>84473311>would train from an early age for this role, which the greeks did and encouraged with their athletic culture, their gymnasions and the olympics, you are just seeing a rabble of modern LARPersThere not different from LARPers though. They dress in gear they can afford and they train to bash heads with frens.
>>84473260>>84473296What happens when someone actually dies in these? Does the state just look the other way
>>84473296>bigmac 2009
>>84473209Im in the camp that shield wall to shield wall didnt actually happen, and riot control is more accurate to what ancient warfare looked like
>>84473368The Witcher 2009. Innocent times.Field played LARP. That's buhurt in the end of the game session. Group combat for fun for all willing.
>>84473378Both happens. It depends on gear, training and morals of the participants.
>>84473346Curiously despite scale and disregard about safety (especially in the past) I don't know about single death case. There were plenty of smashed wrists and cracked skulls but no dead. There were several intended murder attempts, stabs into openings (face and armpits) when it's specifically prohibited by rules (personal grudges) but they survived. It's like God guards little children and retards.
