Part 5/9:
Given that the Marines excel in ranged combat while the Romans are melee fighters, the chosen terrain would significantly influence the outcome. The optimal scenario for the Marines would take place on an open plain that minimizes natural cover, allowing them to utilize their ranged weaponry effectively. However, this location also poses logistical challenges regarding supplies and potential ambushes.
In contrast, the Romans were adept at long campaigns, using tactics such as the scorched-earth strategy to deprive their opponents of recourse. If engaged in close combat within urban settings, the Marines would find their long-range advantage diminished, leading to potential vulnerability as they confront the organized ranks of Roman infantry.
