An understrength settlement garrison uses buildings to obstruct the attacking artillery's line of fire and divide troops entering the town. Mutually supporting infantry occupy the built-up area, with several units able to form square while the enemy guns must clear the hill and buildings. The plan draws the attack into confined fields of fire instead of contesting open ground. The Native army's artificial intelligence abandons its artillery and presses forward, so the sequence reflects game behavior rather than a historical judgment about Inuit tactics. The defense still fails after the British general is killed, exposing the fragility of the improvised strongpoint.

An improvised settlement defense uses buildings, intersecting fire, and protected infantry positions to delay a much larger attacking force.
