Historical. After pressuring the American garrison at Fort Ticonderoga to withdraw, the British army under General Burgoyne wanted to inflict a loss on the retreating Americans. His advance guard got that chance just outside the town of Hubbardton, in present-day Vermont. However, the Americans fought back well and stood their ground until German reinforcements arrived and forced the issue. The Americans had shown that they were willing to fight given the chance.
