Am I wrong????but I always thought the Marylanders wore blue coats faced red. Please advise thanks Pete

@Everyone Thank you very much! @Pete Sorry forgot to say 2nd Maryland. The 2nd Marylanders did wear Blue faced red until after their severe losses after Camden forced what was left to merge with 1st Maryland. The officers went on to form the new 2nd Maryland shortly before Guilford Courthouse in 1781 using recruits from the Regiment Extraordinary who wore Brown faced Red. The officers should be in blue faced red, but I plan on using this unit as a multi-functioning Continental Regiment in brown faced red so dressed them in the colours of the rest of the regiment.

To Christopher…Axebreaker. Thanks v. much for the info on the Marylanders, I have just finished them in Blue and red and you panicked me into thinking "AHHGG.I have to repaint" However my guys will be before Camden…..Your figs look pretty impressive, well done. Sorry for not replying sooner to you but I had to go away on work for a while. Good luck on the rest of your army regards Pete

Christopher-Great work. I like your idea of doing generic continental units as well. I do have one suggestion though. If you put your command figures on separate bases you could have unit specific command bases that would allow you to put officers in a different uniform, or allow for different unit flags.
