When you read about Boudicca, specifically the books that give a neutral look, you realize that she wasn’t that good of a leader and extremely hypocritical. I mean, how the heck do you lost a 100 to 1 advantage?!
You send civilians, including women, to fight professional soldiers.
the civilians were kept back on wagons, cheering on their warriors. this isnt a "pros versus rookies", britons are a martial people just like the germans and gauls, many of briton warriors flocked to boudica's banner only to SOMEHOW lose to an enemy they outnumbered in the thousands.
