Elgb's "ROME TOTAL WAR" EDGES!!!

I'm gonna skip keep my vote short, and give it straight to Belisarius. Boudica was a bold and great leader in combat but she got her pretty plump ass handed to her by Roman General Paulinus. If she can't even defeat a Roman general than what chances does she have against a Byzantine general like Belisarius.

Now I will give Boudica some praise on her campaign against Rome. Her quick skirmish-like tactics did kill a ton of Romans, and her armies did plowed through Roman posts for a short period of time. But she did got cocky and overconfident, and this led her to being tricked and defeated by the Romans. Belisarius on the other hand has been fighting against this same Barbarian tactic many times in his military career, so Boudica's strategy will not surprise him. He also has the better mid range and long range weapons and armor (against the relatively naked Celtic Brits). If you're going to pit a guerilla fighter against an anti-guerilla fighter in a pitched battle in the middle of a plain, then there's no contest that Boudica's gonna get wrecked.
