The Battlefield Britain folks give a good case for their choice, but what we don't know is where and how dense the forests were in that day. And I think they got it wrong with the "wedge" formation. Neither side has a real advantage the way they depict it: both would be in the same configuration, and the case becomes less convincing.
The baggage train's being an obstacle, and the last stand seems very expected. Annihilation would have been the logical choice for the Romans, then plundering whatever was in the wagons. Food, metals, etc.
