"munimento - the word can refer to a camp fortification or rampart" KAPOWW!!!! we suddenly have the door open to camps and ramparts..... thanks Nathan, I knew you'd come around to it eventually
"In relative terms, this is a dip, just about wide enough for his front line, protected by high ground on either side, nothing more." sides steep enough and inaccessible enough to not be threatened by the hordes out flanking him, sounds like a steep sided deep valley to me, dips just don't cut it. With it's bottom wide enough to deploy a large body of troops, ie several hundred metres. Any feature remotely like this would have a water course in it's base, leaving Tring, Dunstable and Church Stowe still in the running, any others?.....
"geographical area we're considering would be hard to find anyway! " which suggests we only have a limited number of candidates......
"you win by good research of the terrain and the enemy's position, careful preparation and selection the battle site, secure logistics and supply ensuring high morale and fitness for battle by the troops, and only when you are ready for battle" sounds like a REALLY comfy Armchair you've found there Mons.... or are you just taunting?
I know we've done it all before, but it was fun then and I've forgotten most stuff before page 93.......
