if a Spartan from Sparta's height in all his heavy armour with his nodding horse hair plume on his huge corinthian helmet, with his huge ****** shield, and his long spear and his leaf bladed Xiphos was to fight a Samurai from the Sengoku period is his Yorei armour and his huge helm and his Yari and Katana and Wakizashi on even ground at midday and they both were on foot who would win?

Not a comic fight, but I like the concept. Nice use of the proper terminology. Assuming they're both peak human and fairly even in stats, it would come down to skill. I'd give the Spartan an advantage, unless the shield can't take a katana slash. Some of those shields weren't designed to take blows from something like a katana.

does anyone know the story of the battle of thermopole.(sp?)
you see king Leonidas, king of sparta was sent off with 300 spartans, his personal fold of body guards to hold off the massive persian army so that all the citystates of greece can unite. He lead these men and fools of king xerxies of the persians army. Xerxies sent in his immortals. his body guards and leonidas men still kicked their ass. unfortinatly a merchant who lived on the mountain told king xerxies of a way to surround our spartans and the spartans were completely surrounded. The used archers from a good distance in a complete circle and shot them down. they didn't stand a chance after that. this of course happened when they killed leonidas. the fearless king. who's words our still immortalized in greece today. Leonidas however succeded in letting greece unite and the entire nation of greece later beat the persians. AN AWESOME STORY. LONG LIVE KING LEONIDAS. The spartan so wins this fight!
the battle was at thermoplie the entire time. the spartans pwned em. but because of a merchant seeking wealth xerxies i'm afraid surrounded them. xerxies obtained leonidas body and held onto it for many years until he did eventually returned it years later. It was very un-spartan to weep at a funeral but when his body returned to sparta many did weep.
