I saw the battle of Mons Graupius last night, and I am thinking, why did the team send in chariots against cavalry? Thats sheer madness! And the daughter was thinking just about the archers. This was the 1st century BC. I reckon she was thinking about Agincourt or something like that. Short bows were only used for troops to keep the enemy head down. To try and use then as the main force was also sheer madness. The reason they did better than the actual Caledonii(?) was sheer luck. Anyway, whats on next week? <p></p><i></i>
