Ahh Mr. Rowe, good to have your support!
| |
i agree with Mr Tam here. what hollywood generally forgets is that the
majority of the american army during this period was made up of everyday
people who volunteered for their state’s respective militia. even during the
war, there werent really any american “regulars”. i think you have done a
good job of conveying that image. :-)

Indeed it was the case -- just as the redcoats often faded to orange and brown
on campaign, and so forth. War was never so neatly dressed as it was in the
paintings of the time, and the film of today.
Of course I must admit I’ve still got a soft spot for elite regiments like the
Coldstream Guards -- who looked splendid in red and fought like demons... at
least back in those days!

Mr Tam, my fleet (even the unposted ships) is always standing by in case the
need to assist another british colony ever arises! we can provide armed
escorts and fire support if a landing be on the books! ;-) in these troubled
times, the pro british must stick together, to dissuade any others from
following suitand rising up! yr humble servant

Very glad of the offer, good sir!
And as the enemies of Britannia rise up as spectres against the bright horizons
of imperial grace, it will be the Royal Navy and it’s network of stout ships and
steadfast sailors that halts the formidable advance of such impressive foes as
the Americans and the French at Port Brique!
How’s that for long-winded rhetoric ;-)?
Rule Britannia! :-)
Cheers,
Kenneth Tam
