Seeking local opportunities while outnumbered

The defending force is badly outnumbered, and the opposing militia is stronger than the weakest American units in the game. The plan makes the enemy cross the ground while watching for part of its formation to separate. One unit does break away from the main body, creating a chance to attack it in isolation, although the opportunity may only increase the enemy's losses instead of changing the result. As the Americans extend their line to attack from several directions, the defence tries to hold one part of the formation while contesting another. The sequence seeks a local opportunity within an unfavourable overall balance.
