well this is heating up nicely.
So we're back to a flying column, if he goes north he is not retreating but rather returning to his main body of troops, maybe digging in, to an RV with Legio II. Bimbling around down south or east is a recipe for getting bumped by the Boudiccan forces. Harrying of a rear guard may have been from the east rather than from behind.
