“Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” William Prescott

2,400 inexperienced American militia went toe to toe with 3,000 hardened British regulars. The Americans lost the ground, but only took 450 casualties to the 1,054 of the British. Historically, the battle was a fighting retreat for the Americans. Which is where our game comes into play.
