Here Wordus 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks, fellas, I was thinking that, because it took a year or so to amass arms covertly and organise warriors and targets, there had to be at least some discipline and organisation, if not 'tactical' command? I still find it odd that no warriors were sent behind the Roman lines, no matter how awkward? But maybe ambush tactics had subsided in this campaign by then?

caldrail 152 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Better yet, it should be pointed that Boudicca was leading the largest army ever assembled in Britain at that time. No-one on her side had any idea how to manage a force that large properly in a set piece battle. Full marks to her for obvious command potential, but the Romans had a distinct advantage there despite being hevily outnumbered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
