Certainly. Ancient Celtic counties like Germany or Britain were invaded by the Roman empire, the Romans were a big force, and had metal armor, whereas the Celts were primitive rangers forces, but the Romans had a lot of that "Soldiers, turn....Soldiers, draw weapons,... Raise Shields." military tactics where they were slow moving Juggernaut forces and the Celts had sneaky gorilla tactics. The Germans massacred many Roman soldiers and famously destroyed 3 legions of Augustus Caesar's, army, but that only served to piss him off and Rome retaliated by decimating Germany. Augustus Caesar's policy was When treaties are signed, it is the responsibility of everyone to maintain their honor for the next fight by honoring the terms, granting mercy and lending a helping hand to the bitterest of enemies, but when treaties are broken, burn cities to the ground and mount the heads of the children on posts. And that is exactly what he did to Germany once they ambushed his Legions. Sneaky gorilla tactics, knowledge of the terrain and a fierce attitude only went so far cause the Romans had 12 of those Legions and all of them were armed with steel weapons and armor, and the Germans had literal sticks and stones.

The Lesson is; Sometimes fighting the good fight and just trying to out-fox your foe will only be enough to piss them off. Oh and also don't break treaties with Romans.
