What I've learned is you pick your battles wisely. If you're forces are covered from an elevated position, you don't engage in a pointless firefight that will kill off most if not all your men, you retreat and try to fight a better vantage point to conduct that fight from.

Exactly what I am suggesting.

Well guess what, your forces are being shot up all over the place, the enemy is bringing further reinforcements, bodies are lying left everywhere, military command has abandoned your battalion, no more reinforcements are coming on your side and yet the idiot general(Akin)whose poor tactics led to this situation in the first place, is urging you on up the hill to be completely decimated.
