cool, who exactly is your opponent in that picture? Pesky colonials I presume.

Aye, our opponents are a mix of rebel Militia, a few 1st PA colonials, with some French regulars that will drop their muskets and run away.

I always get amused at battles where people forget to die.

That is a general description of most Rebel units in CW reenacting! :mrgreen: There were so few of as Feds we couldn't afford to die!

It's the other way round over here (UK), the feds all refuse to die, whilst we rebs enjoy the challenge of making it look good.
We even once decided to have some fun and now have a "best death" contest which is held annually where the C/O provides a crate (his crates hold 150 bottles, he works for a brewery) of beer to the company that has the best death.

Most likely there's the same problem in the UK as over here; too many Johnnies and not enough Yanks!

Back in the days when I did Union infantry, our tune (from the old "Weebles" commercials) was, "Rebels wobble but they don't fall down!"

That is so true in so many ways! :mrgreen:

Ah, reenactor humour...

Quite the opposite, we tend to be outnumbered by the Yanks most of the time.
