Hi Steve,
Look forward to your thoughts - your work on terrain analysis was most useful. I had a different view as well to start with and I am perfectly aware that the scanty and contradictory information can be interpreted in many other ways (just look at this thread). My application of the Combat Estimate must be largely conjecture as to what the commanders on both sides knew and wanted to achieve. The really interesting part was trying to identify the Iceni and Trinovantes aims at each decision point.
