Well the germans (barbarions) 1) because the general didn't send out scouts into the forest to prevent an ambush 2) it was bad terrain and there was a storm 3) when the germans attacked they couldn't make a battle formation, therefore most of the generals men got slaughterd, so the general and his army had to retreat the forest. So in my opinion it was a defeat, but not a very fair one - yours faithfully, a 13 year old. :)
Fort Aliso was one of the forts of the remaining Roman legions stationed in Germania which were attacked after the coalition of Germanic tribes led by Arminius routed three Roman legions at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD.
