Redcoats and Revolutionaries

 The Revwar period in the UK is booming - and that's not meant to be a joke - but there are lots of new units forming and old ones dusting off their kit and becoming involved again. You will be able to see them on the small screen soon as they have some filming to do for the BBC for the new Poldark series (a romantic tale set in Cornwall) when they are going to recreate an incident in the Yorktown campaign. So it's all good if you want a period with a rosey future this may be it.
