Pioneers who journeyed to the West moved quickly through mountain passes to avoid traveling A-through rainstorms, which made trails slick and wet. B-in the dark, which made it difficult to follow the trail. C-in large groups, which could attract American Indian attacks. D-through the first snows of winter, which could trap a party.

i win
think of it in military terms
if you bottle up everyone in a narrow pass then its easy for a small force to dessimate a huge contingent of men even if they are better equipped or trained
Thutmose 3 took Megido because he took the pass of least expectancy and came out and outflanked the seperatist princes
When i was in army intel they would train us to recognise topographical features that could enable a small force to erradicate a force that outnumbers us 10 to 1
if you get them congested you can take them down easy as that
military history is full of victories won by the lay of the land
you do not wanna be the guy stuck in between 2 unscalable cliff faces when youre getting shot at
mmmm... so wats the answer
