Historical. The "Hero of Saratoga", American General Gates was sent south in 1780 to take charge of the southern campaign. There he encountered British General Cornwallis, a veteran fighter from the campaigns in the North. Most of Gates's force consisted of militia, which he assumed would fight properly. Given current convention, they were arrayed on the left flank, the "lessor" flank. Unfortunately, in this position, they faced the British right flank, the "greater" flank of Cornwallis's army. And so when the British advanced, the militia gave way, completely destroying Gates's position and destroying American hopes for success in the South.

If the British don't attack aggressively, the American militia doesn't rout away, and the Americans end up with a solid advantage.
