When speed justified a costly assault

Was it a good idea to commit infantry against an elite Native warrior unit?

Such an assault is risky, but the scenario rewards ending the battle quickly so the Iroquois threat can be removed and forces redirected before the American army and other campaign problems grow stronger.

The question challenges the decision to throw ordinary infantry into an elite Native warrior unit. The move is acknowledged as risky, but campaign speed takes priority because the Iroquois threat must be removed before other problems worsen. American forces around Philadelphia are gaining access to better troops, while repeated Iroquois attacks prevent the concentration of naval power. A costly local action is accepted to improve the wider campaign position and release resources for the American and pirate threats. The judgment belongs to the game scenario and says nothing about the historical quality or conduct of the peoples represented.
