How did the geography of the Battle of Bunker Hill strategy?
The Americans' tacticts were to fire from behind fortified positions at the British troops as they charged up the slope of the hill. The Americans had created breastworks along the top of the hill during the night so they would be protected from British fire. The British tactic was simply rushing in formation up the slope of the hill to attack the Americans behind the breastworks. The British tactics were poorly thought out because the Americans, behind their fortifications drove the British back down the hill at least twice. On the final British charge the Americans had to retreat because they had run out of ammunition.

The battle was actually fought on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill. When the Americans marched to the hill in the darknes to make the fortifications, they went to the wrong hill.
