Elgb's "Rome Can't Touch This" EDGE!!!

Short: No need for further explanation on this one. The Spatha was created as a replacement for the calssic Gladius as warfare became more focused on pure cqc than dependence on formations. Although I would like to note that the Ghost Warriors probably used Germanic longswords than Gladius, still the longer Spatha wins here. EDGE: Sicarii

Mid: I'm gonna have to go with the spear. Yes while the cloak offers defense and the knife offers huge offense especially its poison ability, still a spear will penetrate those two easily at a farther distance. EDGE: Ghost Warriors

Range: Argue all you want on how the Ghost Warriors can throw their javelins as far as an arrow. A bow can still be shot at a farther distance, with better speed and accuracy, and less effort and energy to use. EDGE: Sicarii

X-Factors: Both are brutal and also well-experienced. However, personally in stealth which uses tactics, I agree that the Sicarii takes this. No doubt however, that in training, the Germanic Ghost Warriors takes this. Don't get me wrong, the Sicarii are soldiers too, but many of the Ghost Warriors were also trained in the Roman army as well (see Arminius), which at that time was the best professional armies around.

Deadliest Warrior?

In the battle between two of Rome's most vile guerila fighters who massacred so many of their breathrens, I gotta give this one to the Sicarii. While the Germanic Ghost Warriors were no doubt more successful because they actually won their revolt and the Herbrews failed theirs. However, in just a small squad battle the Sicarii will win because of their better weapons and stealth.
