---After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills. ---

Very counterintuitive.

Unless you happen to be a Highlander. It's not widely known, but even when the Scots lost to the English they inflicted massive casualties with kill ratios in double digits in some battles. The most effective weapon the English found in fighting Scots were other Scots.

Nonetheless, it is rather amazing that they charged 100 armed men and only got 3 minor wounds while killing 35 enemy. Amazing.
