Now you are completely changing things.


How many Ash's would it take to conquer Rome in 30 days or less?

lol you aren't sneaking up on a roman camp at night, i don't care what kind of night vision you have. after 12 hours of marching in sandals with 120 lbs on their back the roman army would make camp. making camp meant building a ditch 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide with all the dirt being piled on the inside ledge of the ditch as a 8ft rampart then reinforced with sod and stakes every single time they stopped to make camp they did this, after they did all that they were fed. so you wouldn't even be able to see a single soldier unless you had some high ground close which they would never camp under or you were dump enough to climb over their rampart in the middle of the night while they had sentries every 30ft along the wall.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

this send out scout sniper teams to do the spotting and allow the Romans to set up camp like everything is normal, then unleash fury and brimstone upon them when everybody is sleeping.

leave a few survivors because you need witnesses to spread the story.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

i would imagine that all of their positions are nicely illuminated with huge bonfires, especially if they are fighting in the winter

What camp? You sniper them them when they are marching. How hard would it be to identify the leaders in their columns? They wore giant fricking birds on their head.
