Slightly off-topic but I'm a fan of counterfactuals - have been since the ancient days of Usenet and soc.history.what-if. I'm hoping this thread stays around & mutates or else becomes an alternate history ping list. Nothing better than adding the Freeper point of view to historical mash-ups.

Back on topic - a single Marine armed with an unloaded rifle with a fixed bayonet or perhaps just a K-Bar versus a Centurion in full battle gear?

Sorry. Mr. Marine is dead.

He may know a little about edged weapons fighting, but Mr. Centurion is a pro with 20+ years experience. He has a pilum or two, a shield and body armor.

This matchup would be just about as one sided as Marine with loaded rifle at 100 yards against a Centurion.
