A shame. Culloden seems to me to be 'line up and charge'. Falkirk at least has a bit of movement. |

Who cares what other people think? |

Culloden is more interesting than you may think> how about a successful night attack by the Jacobites.
Use of a flank attack by said Jacobites.
There are more. |

Best is a relative term. I'm sure the Jacobites weren't exactly fans of this battle. |

Aughrim was another good one, Killiecrankie is a favourite of mine |

Culloden has its points, as does Falkirk, but there are much more interesting actions in terms of a both-sides-can-win-fair-fight. Sherrifmuir, Killiecrankie & Aughrim are all more finely balanced. |
