During this game assault, an infantry position is criticised for giving enemy artillery a clear view. Some troops are deliberately committed to hold the defenders' attention, with their loss accepted as part of the attack. Artillery and mortars are treated as having similar ranges here, making the earlier care over mortar placement relevant. The defenders repeatedly leave their position to attack, making the assault easier when their objective is to hold.
