The first regiment - The 64th

I don't know anymore, why it turned out to be the 64th. Maybe because of the black facings? I'm always been design driven, not so much about historical accuracy. At that point I didn't had a clue about the uniforms, I just wanted to own a nice redcoat army with tricornes mostly.
Next thing I know, I bought the 'Digby' and realised that my 'tricorne' era was pretty much over soon after the AWI started and that the battles I could try to recreate would take an enormous amount of lead (Long Island, White Plains). That was the point I decided NOT to recreate historical accuracy. It is a futile exercise in history and strategy anyway, in my humble opinion. Most of the scenario-MCs divert into the legendary 'What-if' land and invent. At the end of the day its just a game, guys, just a game.
