Easy kills. Fair? No, but effective yes...

Yeah... I saw that movie too -_-

If you want to learn about REAL strategy read one of Julius Caeser's Books, or Carl Von Clauswitz... maybe even Sun Tzu.
And strategy doesn't work on Graal... and the only reason Rome was able to win it's wars was due to engineering, strategy, and their laws for wars (Land Owners had to be soldiers).
And the flank attack to the rear wasn't invented by the Romans. It doesn't take a genius to figure out 'We could attack them on their rear to surround them'.
