    Re: Battle Scenes

    Not sure about that one. The Huron were stretched thin along the promontory ledge and couldn't get a clear bead on crazy old Chingachgook as he hacked his way through them towards Magua, plus Le Long Carabine was his tail gunner backup, snatching up unfired muskets and daring the survivors to try anything.

    I thought the earlier clearing attack on the British by the massed Huron was an appropriately confusing clusterfrak that could have gone any way, which might be worth bearing in mind when writing such scenes.

        How would you rewrite the battle scene in Gangs of New York?
        But this wily god never discloses even to the skillful questioner the whole content of his wisdom.

          Or where a character decides to calmly and willingly accept his impending certain death simply to move the plot along.
