"without difficulty, then I'm afraid your map shows that the 'surrounding' swamps and jungles"
- after more than a decade on here I am still rather surprised that you fairly obviously haven't been to the site (at least not with your eyes open), nor tried to hack your way through mature willow scrub
your points don't stand desk jockey. (have you even been to Tring?)
"Your imaginary field fortifications"
- Like the imaginary fort I have on the HER in Hertfordshire, or the imaginary villa outside St Albans. Imagination says I have two double cohort forts in Castle Yard and Castle Dykes...
"I can use it too! "
- sure you could IF YOU HAD THE MEREST HINT OF ANY EVIDENCE OF THEM !!!!!
"If the Britons were able to 'bimble' up onto the flanking high ground with ease, Paulinus would not have chosen that spot."
- exactly the case you have made against Tring in this exchange.... can you feel the light beginning to dawn on your errors?
"That's a big 'if'!"
- Not as big an "if" as your Tring theory.... Then again I am happy for him to take the artillery train with him everywhere but London... and pick up some spares at the central depot that was there before and after the campaign... or not, it's just not a big deal and I think it's safe to assume he had some light artillery with him on the high ground at the time of the final engagement.
anyway fancy a pint later? We can discuss why the Battlefields Trust ranks Mancetter, Bicester and Little Brickhill above both Tring and Church Stowe.....
