Funny / Time Commanders

---

• The combat historians are often sources of very funny helpings of ham.
  • (From the battle of Telamon): "HEY LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MY BIG BARBARIAN PENIS! I'M HERE TO KILL YOU!!!"
  • From the Battle of Troy, Aryeh Nusbacher falls to his knees while watching from the railing, begging for the generals to take command. "Don't ask him ask a question! Tell him what to do! Please! Tell him what to do! Please! Tell him! What! To do!"
• A reconnaissance mission with 8 Hunnic scouts degenerates into a ancient Roman Benny Hill sketch.
• From the Battle of Stamford Bridge, the Eagers kids had some hilarious moments:
  "But Muuuuum, I'm fighting Berserkers!"
  "They're not exactly Marilyn Monroe, are they?"
• The team of vicars who commanded the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, incidentally one of the best teams, also had a few gems.
  "I'M SMASHING THE CHEERLEADERS!!!"
  • "And it doesn't take the brains of an Archbishop to figure out that you will be a captain".
• "Boudicca, known as 'Bou' to her friends"...
• From the Watling Street episode
  "You're just as dead with a pitchfork in your face as a sword"
  "If they try to use the testudo in this battle it's going to be really, really, stupid."
  Soon after, "Oh my god, they've formed the testudo."
• When the players get Alexander killed during The Battle of Gaugamela, the experts calmly mention that being dead is a bit of a hitch if Alexander plans to rule Persia and be considered the "King of Kings"
• In the very first episode, Battle of Trebia an exchange amongst the players:
  "Is Hannibal one of these horses?"
  "No, he's a person."
• "Jo? Stop moaning."
• From the Battle of Zama both teams start the main battle by choosing a defensive strategy.
