What are the current opinions about Arbury Banks or Cuttle Mill?
I've stood on both of these and neither has a topography worthy of T's comments. "No wing anchoring here" - Steve Punt
Cuttle Mill is the same location as Paulerspury
Correct
He had a force that he had already judged inadequate to defend London
good point, his chosen site must have had significantly greater strengths and needed access to all reinforcements from North, East, South and West. So a site with strong topography (knocks out these sites) and a connected location.
but a bit far north for my tastes
only if you are desperately clinging to the last vestiges of the "parade" theory :wink:
