      especially since our best way of attacking Roman legions was to to flank them with Guerrilla tactics, I don't understand why this ever happened. I don't know the dates or anything, but Hadrians Wall was erected purely because of this fact. They couldn't deal with the hit and run tactics that we employed against the marching armies.
      They put up the wall to try and just keep that nonsense away from them :D
      It's pretty funny really. All powerful army, conquered most of the world. Gets to Newcastle and they get owned by a bunch of blue painted nutters riding ponies. Lol. We have some of the wall still about half an hours drive south of where I live. There's also the ruins of one of their Garrisons. I think there are much larder stretches of the wall to the west though. I remember going to see it when I was in School.

      Had a german shepherd, with some wolf mixed in. I loved that it didn't show it's arsehole to the world, like all the pure doggos. Had it's tail low like a wolf. He liked to drag bigger animal bits from the butchery to our place and then howled for the neighbor dogs to come and feast along with him. Was great at dealing with other dogs that came at us aggressively. Went straight for the throat, and smaller ones he lifted up, shook and let go, bigger ones just took down on their side. All those dogs just turned around an walked away quietly afterwards.
      Used to drag us along on ski's when we were little.
      Was our first dog, and haven't really liked any of the later ones much thanx to Him being so great.

    Void of spirit, unprovided with arms, they are not soldiers who have come to offer battle, they are bastards, runaways, the refuse of your swords, who have often fled before you and will partake themselves to flight when they see the conqueror's flaming and the ranks of war.
    In all engagements, it is the valor of the few that turns the fortune of the day, it will be your immortal glory, that with a scanty number, you can equal the exploits of a great and powerful army.
    Keep your ranks, discharge your javelins, rush forwards to a close attack and hew a passage with your swords.
    Pursue the vanquished and never think of spoils or plunder.
    Conquer and victory gives you everything. "
