The Raid

His Majesty's 10th Foot

 Based loosely on the various skirmishes that occurred during the winter of 1775-1776 outside of Boston, "The Raid" aims to portray period skirmishing tactics to the high level of skill British units were able to operate at during this time. While no documented skirmish follows the exact timeline of this video, numerous smaller engagements are recorded from this period, such as the Skirmish at Phipps Farm (Nov 9, 1775), Skirmish at Lechmere Point (Nov 9, 1775), the Burning of Falmouth (Nov 18, 1775), the Raid on Charlestown (Jan 8, 1776), the Skirmish at Dorchester (Feb 14, 1776), and the Skirmish at Nook's Hill (Mar 8, 1776), along with more throughout the siege, including many that did not take place during the "winter months" we're attempting to portray in this video. These examples, and moreso those during The Forage War in New Jersey a year later, lend validity to practicing and executing small unit tactics as demonstrated here, allowing us to properly "reenact" engagements at the appropriate scale. Enjoy!

His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot in America is a historically re-created infantry unit formed to portray the service of the British Army during the American War for Independence.

Hessians!

From Uwe Wild

 ''My mate Markus Gärtner, who has published several books in the past contacted me and wanted to talk about figure production. Together we thought it a good idea to produce "the figures that go with the book".

Markus' favourite subject are the Germans in the American war of independence. His latest book is on sell with [Berliner Zinnfiguren](https://www.blogger.com/.../892302668.../6686538595026227430#). So far only in German, but I hope they will think about an English version too.

So, now here having the Hessians published, we wanted to have the figures. Markus himself is a collector of 54mm figures and I told him, the advantage of 3D is, everybody can have them in his favorite scale.

So here you see our first joined project - Hessen-Kassel Musketeers charging American trenches

If you are interested in the figures, you can order them in our shop at [Blackwatch](https://www.blogger.com/.../892302668.../6686538595026227430#)

I will paint them as Prussians for our actual diorama projects of Korbitz 1759 and Kolin 1757''

Battle Flags of the Wars for North America, 1754–1783: Foreign Armies and Regiments

Flags are an important part of the military history of colonial America. Not only are they essential artifacts that help reconstruct battles and wars and the stories of various regiments, but they are also vivid, colorful, evocative visual depictions of wars from an era before photography. In this meticulously researched book, military flag expert Steven W. Hill displays and explains the flags of the regiments which fought in North America in the French and Indian War and the American War of Independence.

Comprehensive and in-depth, Battle Flags of the Wars for North America, 1754–1783: Foreign Armies and Regiments covers the regimental flags of the major combatants in the two major wars for North American in the eighteenth century—flags carried by regiments from Britain, France, Germany, and Spain. This has long been a subject surrounded by myth, legend, and inaccuracy; the last “standard” work is more than forty years old. Hill digs deep to correct old errors and assembles a complete record of the flags, drawing from archives and artifacts, and creates a reference that will stand the test of time—not only during the coming 250th anniversary years, but far beyond.
