Samurai Vs. Spartans

[fanman.]

The Samurai of feudal Japan and the Spartans of Ancient Greece are two of the most outstanding warrior groups in history, and each were probably the best warriors of their time. What would happen if a Samurai army and a Spartan army met in battle? Vote on who you think would win, and give some reasons why.

The Samauri would win because of superior strategy. The Samauri would show up at the battlefield a couple days early and conceal themselves in the shadows. Then when the Spartans showed up, they would be slaughtered in a well executed Ambush.

All I have to say is that the Spartans at The Hot Gates were WAY WAY cooler than the 47 Ronin :P

Samurai would collect reconaissance using ninjas then they would do what Hardball suggested....

whether they would win or not is up in the air. They may have the element of suprise, but I'm guessing that feudal Japanese were probably smaller in stature than the fat-vegetarians (thanks Tree ) and may not be able to get through the Spartans armor...

so what it really boils down to is this:

Should one eat Japanese food or Italian food tonight?

Shouldn't there be a law against these "Muhammed Ali vs the Warrior People of Omacron Persiai 8" type threads?

They are a toxic forum pollutant!

I'm thinking a homemade pizza with vine-ripened tomatoes, feta cheese, spicy chicken and spinach.

I thought it was a decent topic.

Is Bruce Lee a Samurai or a Spartan?

[gregimotis]

What about three-hundred Spartans at the Hot Gates vs two-thousand samurai and one 12 inch tall Bruce Lee dressed in drag?

[Hardball]

Well, If he sides up with Jet Li and Jack Chan then he would have a nasty little squad---destined to make history.

Spamurai...

What if the Gates were cold and not hot as predicted?

[Hardball]

Just supposed they are hit with germ warfare in the form of week old horse manure?
