As we were..... In defiles.... The defiles missing from the recent candidates that were the topic of these recent exchanges. It's a shame advocates for the defile-less candidates have yet to step up with meaningful statements to refute the obvious reading of Tacitus that we actually might share. My concern is that if the lack of defile is not called out it will be a licence for some to punt more silly site nominations with no topography and no write up. 2023 was a bad/regressive year for debate on the topic.
"I prefer simpler solutions to these problems" Agreed.
My "simple" is rally all forces (including II and remains of IX) at a central point that is relatively secure and located to strike a full range of directions South and South East. Figure out what, and where, the enemy is then either strike or bring them onto your prepared position depending on what your recce tells you of real numbers and real locations. But we differ.
