Interesting point. The Celtic clans were fragmented and the Romans' pattern of governance is based on stable "centers". In that scenario there were none. Compare that to their experience in Gaul. Maybe there's a lesson here that the Americans/NATO forces can learn from. Actually, one Russian plan was to just hold the cities and connect them via air routes.
