I really like this series as they take a good look at weapons used by classic warriors like Spartans and Gladiators, the tactics used etc and then match them up against one another using computer sim software. The weapon tests are particularly interesting and dispel a lot of myths and misunderstandings....for example the legend of the sharpness of the katana - in fact its no more effective at cutting than an English broadsword, but it is much lighter so easier to recover after a blow and redeploy, so a better weapon.
Series 3 seems a lot more "serious" and takes in more the tactics used
series 1 and 2 are easy to find online as well.
definitely a good watch for fans of military history
