The Brittish had a tactical position until the Americans got in the way. So the Brittish went to take them out, but the Americans shot them, and they ran away. They tried again, but on the third attempt, they got through, and shot some Americans. The Brittish won, but lost a lot of me. #AFND (American Fight Never Dies) http://totallyhistory.com/battle-of-bunker-hill/
