Custers battle plan was for Reno to attack the villiage from the South cuasing the Indian women and children to flee to the North where he would be waiting..However he never was able to get to the North..he was caught and quickly routed by an overwhelming force that in fact had superior close range firepower.
The Indians said that rubbing Custer out took no longer than a hungry man takes to eat his dinner..
So Custer had just enough time to say, "OHHH SHYTE."
