That is not a decisive victory. My criteria for "decisive" is that the defending force was wiped out. But they took a ton of invaders with 'em (on a ratio of about 10:1, IIRC), God bless 'em! I'm not arguing any of your points in the strategic sense. :-)

Okay...so our definition of decisive is different. If they had done so without losing many men...to me that would be truly decisive. In the strategic sense we are in agreement.
