"Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" Colonel Prescott's famous order at Bunker Hill wasn't about bravado or theatrical courage—it was pure business strategy. The colonial militia had desperately limited gunpowder and ammunition. The British had seemingly unlimited supplies. Every single shot had to count, or they'd run out before the battle was decided.
Waiting until the British were just 50 yards away turned scarcity into devastating advantage. At that range, even farmers with hunting rifles couldn't miss. The strategy worked brilliantly. The first two British assaults were shattered by concentrated, accurate fire. Professional soldiers fell in waves.
The colonists only retreated when their ammunition finally ran completely out—and even then, they'd inflicted over 1,000 British casualties, nearly half the attacking force. A small investment, strategically deployed, produced maximum results.
