Winfield's 'game plan' was to very carefully scout out the locations of
Santa Ana's forces, then trying to aneak his army around them, and
attacking from the rear. A certain Captain Robert E. Lee was his most
important scout and strategist. Winfield's biggest frustration was those
of his generals who ignored the above 'game plan', and went charging
right into the enemy guns, which Santa Ana had carefully set up to fire
on all roads leading to his army.
