>Wellington deploys the immortal army's units with an early howitzer in between them.
>Scipion goes for little groups of skirmishers

Someone need to animate this asap

sea battle
>forward sloops sink ships at will forcing the remaining Roman ships to surrender

land battle
>the British fortify in a defensible position and set up artillery
>British skirmishers, light infantry and light cavalry make short work of Rome's lighter troops and cavalry who have to retreat to the main body of troops
>the Romans are peppered constantly and forced to advance towards the defensive position
>Romans take losses from artillery but maintain discipline
>they are slowed by the defenses while the line infantry fire volley after volley
>those that reach the palisade receive grenades, bombs and grapeshot
>those that make it past the palisade are out of formation, they are superior to the redcoats who are essentially unarmored spearmen without a shield in hand to hand combat, but occasionally someone from the rear ranks comes with a loaded musket to finish them off

You're forgetting that the Roman marching order was far more disciplined and could accordingly cover war more ground than the British in the early 19th century. It wouldn't be determined not "when" the British fortify in a defensive position, but "if."

British troops still hold the huge advantage of their ability to engage in ranged combat to a meaningful extent. Romans are essentially confined to javelin or throwing rocks while British troops can start to pick them off at 50m. Not to mention the huge morale deterioration caused by facing an enemy which has the ability to eviscerate your formations in seconds amidst a cloud of smoke and cacophonous noise when you come from a society that still sees slings as viable weaponry

well beyond 50m actually.

As soon as the first volley is fired the romans run away from the battlefield thinking they have been cursed by jupiter

I think the Brits probably have it simple due to the projectile advantage and shock factor, but the Romans might be able to pull an Isandlwana
