    Georgian here. Casimir Pulaski died in 1779 while leading a charge in the Siege of Savannah. The battle was a horrific defeat for American forces. Almost 300 American/French soldiers died compared to approximately 40 British.

    Just some basic background on the battle of Trenton: The US suffered only two fatalities during this battle, both of which came from the cold weather rather than direct combat.
    The total casualties amounted to 2 dead and 5 wounded on the US side and 22 dead and 83 wounded for the hessians, with 800-900 hessians being captured. Future president James monroe himself (a continental army officer at the time) was wounded in this battle, suffering a musketball to the shoulder during the initial charge.

    Little tid bit: the Hessians (hesh-ins) were not actually mercenaries, despite such being taught in our schools. They were hired out to the British to bolster the income of their German princes, which made them British auxiliaries. Merry belated Christmas Apollo :D

    • @snipingflute4346
      @snipingflute4346 7 місяців тому

      Since there was underlying reason regarding the interests of German rulers, did the Hessian role within the British cause during the American Revolution carry similar circumstances as the King’s German Legion? The latter of which volunteered out of supposed loyalty to their deposed Elector of Hanover, King George III, after fleeing their homes from Napoleon’s occupation.

    • @detroitdave9512
      @detroitdave9512 5 місяців тому +2

      @@snipingflute4346 Not really. Like you said, Hanoverians volunteered out of existential fear of Napoleon. This differed entirely from the Hessians, who were basically leased out as a 'gentlemen's agreement' between royalty. Not to mention, the outcome of the American Revolution either way would have had miniscule effect on the Hessian principalities (not counting those sent to fight). The true role of the Hessians was to alleviate the British manpower shortage on the continent and allow the British to retain more of their higher quality units in Europe.

    Aight so the rules for this were:
    1: Both Hessians had to have 3000 gold left over.
    2: Hessians had to stay on the town side of the river.
    3: Any army could have up to 2 cav and 1 artillery.
    4: Both Americans had to have at least 8 militia. Unfortunately minute men were not militia.
    5: obviously winner controls the town at by the end.
    But yee. Get in there and do some battle sometime.

    • @randomcomment5599
      @randomcomment5599 7 місяців тому +2

      Bit of a reason for the numbers gap is both hessians did take their most expensive 1900 gold cav. And the secondary cav they had was like 1000/800 gold. Which probably didn’t do nearly enough damage to justify the cost. And the 1900 cav alone could have got like nine militia or four more regulars each. But yeah the cav took a large portion of the fund. And the hessians kinda wasted some cannon firing at those two state militia on that small lane.
      But hey I’m sure both sides had fun and they gave us a good replay.

    Merry Christmas from Spain!! Its a surprise how many nations hated the British Empire and helped the Americans in their revolution 😂😂
    We the Spanish also participates in the war, we declares war to UK at 1779 and supported Americans during all the war. Bernardo de Galvez and Luis de Unazaga supported the army of Charles Lee while they secured the Mississippi from the english to guarentee the supplies and commerce. We also sent huge amount of money and weapons to the American militias and we fought the British in Ohio, Lousiana, Florida, Gibraltar and the Caribe and Atlantic. In addition, the Comissioner Francisco de Saavedra supoorted with his troops the Americans and French troops in the siege of Yorktown sending a fleet and money.
    Personally, I think the American Revolution its like a protoype of World War because all the nationes they were involved😂

    For anyone interested, A&E made a TV-movie years ago in 2000 called "The Crossing," which is about the crossing of the Delaware and subsequent Battle of Trenton. It's not the greatest war film ever made, but honestly it's the best Revolutionary War media out there in my opinion. Sure, it doesn't look as cinematically pleasing as "The Patriot" or "Turn: Washington's Spies," but as far as I can tell it's eons more historically accurate and even dispels the myth that the Americans attacked on Christmas day (sorry to burst bubbles). In reality Washington started his troops across the Delaware on the night of the 25th, but they did not reach Trenton until the morning after Christmas. One could still argue they interrupted the Hessian garrison's holiday celebrations, however, because many of them were still hung over or sleeping in late from the night's festivities. Somebody uploaded the full movie to UA-cam. As far as I am aware it's still up.

    The American Player should've used the early engage to push troops on he flank and start attacking on the side Flank. I know the other player would've been looking there out of surprise and The American player should've taken that advantage to cross the Lancers into the militia and weakened lined to cause a mass rout that the American player could've used to push into Trenton WAY EARLIER. By the time the British player would've come back to the chaos in the initial battle, The American could support the Flank battle and pushed into Trenton (surrounding the 2 lines of infantry on guard). They had a MASSIVE numbers advantage and guns kill regardless sooooo... I believe the way it actually played out to was that General John Cadwalader attacked the British garrison at Bordentown, New Jersey to prevent reinforcements from the south. General James Ewing led 700 militiamen across the river at Trenton Ferry, captured the bridge over Assunpink Creek, and prevented the enemy's soldiers from escaping and the reinforcements from advancing. Thus George Washington had a basic Hammer Anvil Attack on the British Garrison.
