Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

[Renatus]

"How do you imagine that Paulinus got his army to Anglesey" I hadn't given it much thought until now, instead assuming they ran a boat ferry service across the rather challenging Menai Straights. But now you ask maybe it would make sense to do a big boat invasion from the Dee, landing somewhere more sympathetic like Red Wharf Bay. Naval logistics are not my thing but maybe a sudden big fleet landing into a secure anchorage would be better than an observable shuttle across challenging tides. The shuttle could then come into play as a resupply strategy if needed, depends on the size of the fleet and the round trip timing to proto-Deva

The Latinista strikes again.  Tacitus, Ann. 14.29:  'He prepared accordingly to attack the island of Mona . . . and, in view of the shallow and variable channel, constructed a flotilla of boats with flat bottoms.  By this method the infantry crossed; the cavalry, who followed, did so by fording or, in deeper water, by swimming at the side of their horses.'
