ooo look the Red dot looks like a great place to engage the Iceni
In a strategic position stopping the rebellion spreading North while being reinforced by the Ninth, seems like a simple plan.
It's in the middle of the country ... with no secure supply line. Catus goes to Gaul ... that is the way Romans feel safe, that is where they have security of supply, and so any "seat of war" needs to be positioned to maintain supplies to Gaul.
Suetonius is not hiding,he marched from Anglesey to fight Boudica and end the rebellion ,not run off to Gaul.He can be supplied from the north and the West and feels the south is probably safe.If you want the Catuvellauni to rebel and join up with the Brigantes then by all means run away, go south across the Thames, show weakness,and watch the empire burn.He does NOT need a seat of war, he needs to bring Boudica to battle as soon as possible before he runs out of supplies, I'm not sure that he can depend on the Catuvellauni for long LOL.
