Nice to hear that the Hessian officer seems to be a "real" German.He speaks without any accent.

[@jeff2178]

Awesome!, best channel

[@CRuf-qw4yv]

Not the best reenacting but its was informative. Kept the over-weight and bespectacled re-enactors to a minimum. Also, just shooting the priming charge is not realistic appearing...

[@timmccaskill7340]

Much bravo!!!

[@tmoney007confederation7]

I wonder what the big flintlocks that needed tripod are, the ones the Hessians were using?

[@jaytowne8016]

Actually a pretty good action for delaying Infront of a superior force..Vo Nuyen Giap probably studied this one.. You don't have to win battles to win a war.

[@pjny21]

Yep. Oh the irony. :/

[@robertryan1881]

the cooch bridge was mostly a running skirmish. not a line battle.

[@markr.2781]

I wonder why no one thought of making a bullet proof vest back in those days.

[@davidhull1481]

A couple of comments. Burgoyne’s army was forced to surrender in large part due to the dashing leadership of Benedict Arnold, from whom I am descended, but not linealy. Second, and I’m not knocking the effort put into this film, why does this sort of re-enactment draw so many chubby guys? Aren’t there enough skinny Americans to fill the ranks? Third, there should have been more voiceover explaining what was happening, and some maps would have been really helpful.

[@woodydavis8287]

Chubby guys can afford the repro muskets. Men of all descriptions fought in the ARW, even boys. They wear specs because powder burns from the pan are real, even in a reenactment.

[@davidhull1481]

@@woodydavis8287 Don’t generalize. I’m old and fat and I can’t afford any muskets

[@woodydavis8287]

@@davidhull1481 give up cable tv and soda pop for a year... then you can get a musket. Don't forget the FFg powder😁

[@davidhull1481]

@@woodydavis8287 I don’t have either, don’t want to be a reenactor, and you can piss off trying to tell me how to act.

Can I get a heart plssssssssss

[@slippysnek9507]

no way...

[@kc7js]

Alot of film wasted use to tell the story--i found it keep track of whom was whom.

[@woodydavis8287]

Were there no natives? We were the catalyst for victory with the fear of suffering from arrows and tomahawks. Light and fast moving. Actually this was the beginning of harvest season.

[@dennissettlemyre917]

Cooches have a bridge? Oh wait, I forgot that we call it a taint. My bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@buddylight2191]
