Unfortunately, as "militia Colonel" my best place would not be out popping redcoats, but in a command center directing the action and analyzing incoming reports. Nuts, I'd have to figure out some not-so-obvious place to have my CP. Hope I guess right or an enemy barrage will be my wake up call.
...but in a situation like that, if I wasn't the CO, I'd love to get out there with my Remington and start the bodycount!!
