set up the cannons along the ridge, facing the Yankees, and have 1 gatling gun facing forward ( positioned in center of line), 1 facing diagonally left ( positioned on middle left of line), and 1 facing diagonally right ( positioned on middle right of line).
have the cannons start firing once the Yanks are within range, and have the infantry use the Ridgeline as cover ( 2 rows, one laying down one kneeling), and have some more infantry form the flanks , and another standing just behind the artillery pieces to step forward and fire if necessary.
if we have any wood stakes ( anti cavalry), set it up now. and if any shovels, dig a trench.

but the ridge is tiny not even half your troops can fit on it and isn't it smart to bring your Gatling guns close to the fight since their range wasn't all to goo?
