Choosing Sides

"Right, well Yellow Bonnet? You won the toss. My men have finished preparing the battlefield. Do you want to deploy on the hill or at the bottom?"

"C'mon now, which will it be?"  "Downhill eh?" "Well, alright, we start on the hill then"
"See you about 10 ish?"

 Sotto voce: "Hmm, what's the old fox up to? Could'a sworn he was going to make us attack up the slope. Hmmm"

"Thank you Major, you and your Sappers have done a good day's work." "Good job men, extra tot of rum and a day off tomorrow."
"Don't worry about the road Major , it would have been a miracle if you'd had time to clear the brush and build a road. We'll be coming over the hill and down towards the creek anyway."
