Sequence 7 help required (Potential Spoilers)

[AlteredFormula]

In sequence 7, you get the mission where you are on horseback and have to command the armies against the redcoats. I suck so badly at this, I've tried about 8 or 9 times, and just don't seem to be improving at all.

From what I've heard, I'm not the only person who's had trouble with this but every other bugger seems to have managed to scrape through, so I can only assume I'm doing something drastically wrong.

Any tips?

I barely scraped thru it, it was kinda touchy when you had to fire to keep your guys alive. As soon as the red coats would raise their gund straight up in the air before pointing at my men I would order mine to fire. Hope it helps

For the most part, you just need to make a mini pattern. The beginning waves are crucial because if you lose too many on your line then you'll fail. My pattern was: MIddle/Right/Left/Middle/..

Pay attention to the mini map and dont tell your soldiers to fire until they see the whites of their eyes the red coats are just lining up and preparing to fire. Proper timing will destroy the enemy line. On a weakened ally line (too many of your men have died there) don't sacrifice your remaining men for the pattern. Stay for the required second shot to kill the red coats.

Hope this helps.

Cheers guys, I'll try and adopt these strategies over the weekend.

Edit: well, fuck knows... I didn't really get chance to change tactics, passed it on the first try tonight.
