Roscoe let the women and other man talk, at first. It was all the better to let people air out ideas, steal any of use, and then present a masterstroke once they'd all gotten their say in. Properly phrased, a plan that synthesized everyone's plans into a single whole could make everyone feel like they had contributed.
He stepped up, twirling the end of his mustache. "Twenty men are nothing," he began, for the drama of the phrase. "Not as individuals. They're only a challenge to be overcome when they pull together. That requires either everyone to work things out, a single leader to take control, or trained instincts to kick in."
Roscoe traced the planned route with a finger, delicately. "Horses are not of much use in thick woods. What we need to do is hit them with enough variety of sights that they cannot coordinate, and take out the leader. Do both, and the remainder should scatter long enough for us to claim our prize. The trick is... everything. A disruption, a rope-line, an attack to take out their leader, all before they can realize anything is amiss. I could either act as a second distraction by buzzing them from the air (it's one of my better stunts), or Curtiss Jenny and I could help transport someone to the battle once it's joined. The prize isn't the fight, after all. We just need to disengage with the funds and we have won this day. The disengagement part is probably the most pressing to figure out."
