Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

[Nathan Ross]

the increasingly uninspired-looking Mancetter.

I do think you'd need a pretty good explanation for Paulinus and Boudica meeting so very far away from London, especially bearing in mind how slowly they'd both be moving by this point (Paulinus would be dragging most of the population of London and St Albans along with him, plus all the corn supplies from these places (which the Britons were so keen to get their hands on!) - so a rapid march is out of the question...)

Virginia Water station was always favoured by Nick Fuentes, I seem to remember; not so daft if a retreat to the west is envisaged, since it is just above the Thames floodplain, although Paullinus would have been well advised to avoid South West Trains for said purpose.

Possibly this link here might be better! Odd choice, but I think see the reasoning. Not sure if I'd go for the 'retreat to the west' idea anyway though...

However, this evocative picture of the location will no doubt help with an imaginative reconstruction of the battle :-) :



Most probably, though, the actual site is buried somewhere in the north/west London commuter sprawl...

This new forum software really badly (and I mean badly!) needs a preview button for numpties like me :-(

Agreed! :?
