but, but, but it wasn't me guv! It was the map what said it......
"Paulinus wasn't occupying a fortress."
well he was occupying a "steep place" (Nathan Ross 25 Feb 2013, post 543), you'd think he'd be at the top of it rather than the bottom/a third of the way up, with the bad guys having several options for routes to the top..... but do like the Dunstable logic very much, just not the flankability. I went to the site a couple of times last year and it didn't look a great place for P-Force to make sure the enemy was only to their front.
"Where do you see Paulinus being on these two dates? "
Over seeing the construction of the redoubts at Church Stowe whilst waiting for the II to join up from the Fosseway. But I'm probably the only one with that view.....now everyone else seems to have dug in at Tring and Dunstable
