    9 AD, the problem is making a guesstimate about the German forces. Same with Arausio and the others I would love to see.

    If Arausio is off by a few thousand, it won't be a problem. Bloodbath nonetheless.

    Definately, got to love us barbarians, especially when combined with incompetent civilised generals ha ha ha ;-)

    Poor fellows though, if you watch programs with vets of WWII (there are lots on Youtube), watching those old guys almost breaking down from memories of things they experienced 65 years ago (this one- all series actually brought a tear to my eyes, I must be getting old and soft) tells you of some horrible things. Imagine the fear of the fellows at Arausio as they gor slaughtered.

    How about Mons Graupius? Last major battle of the Roman conquest of Britain.
