Zulu warriors could run RUN 50 miles in a day and fight a battle at the end of it. (yes i have just quoted Constable Schies from Zulu) but it is true and that is physically demanding over bad terrain and heat. Though the Hun were never given to simple plans bar Rommel and a General who I forget his name said that D-Day would be at Normandy and he got laughed at the flying corps of the mongol armies used to be able to do 75 miles a day .....  Yes, we saw it the first time  It's cheating a bit when it's downhill though! |

I disagree entirely the mongol armies strectch forth on horses thats how Gengis Khan rampaged across Asia and Europe, in the ancient times of China, before the unity of the Dynasties the mongols were known as Horse Lords (a reference to the Riders of Rohan from LOTR). I'll get my coat  |

I'll get my coat i've no idea what you mean by "stretch forth", but i'm not denying the mongol armies were all mounted, i'm just saying it would be as easy to move as fast as they did in, what the 13-14th century (  ), in the 20th century with all the technological advancements........ although possibly not as effectively. |

Then you've never been on acid;D Seriously though, 75 miles a day on horseback is a little different to marching 30-40 miles a day (note: 'marching', ergo on foot ) with far more equipment and while walking into a wall of gunfire. Point taken, but not applicable at the time~ |

Point taken, but not applicable at the time~ not alot and i very much doubt they did too much marching. even the americans figured out that they could transport their armies my train in their civil war..... |
