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.

For me, three things have to happen: 1. no nukes: we get the fissionable material and they repudiate trying to become a nuclear power; 2. oil flows freely to world markets 3. regime change to a secular or at least non-radical Muslim government Any others? Are all three essential? |
