Dips, woods, and artillery sightlines

The expected defensive move for the Native army is to hide in a dip that denies the British guns a target. When the artificial intelligence places its artillery in the open, the British battery shifts its angle and keeps cavalry behind the guns for protection. Infantry then move behind trees, outside the enemy artillery's field of fire, before attacking from the rear. The woods favor troops firing outward against an opponent struggling to see into the cover. The game's engine is criticized for denying Native armies the tactical competence they deserve, so the battle demonstrates terrain and artificial intelligence behavior rather than historical Native performance.
