[@andrewreegs6319]

YAY GARY! I love his MOCs so much, some of the best historical builds around.

[@maxjones503]

He didn't give Kermit the *chance* to speak this time!

[@shelty3178]

Keep building the battle of Trenton!

[@zachs9913]

I really love the building and how realistic it looks. Also I like how he included the founding fathers in this moc, I though that was really cool :) Overall it's a spectacular moc and the snow looks amazing!

[@Chaindustries]

Love the snowy roofs.

[@BoothferryLad]

Love it, great history too

[@donkeyman2784]

This was amazing

[@jakov_badjo8453]

you make the best lego sets ever make more please

[@somezsaltz4526]

there not sets

[@jakov_badjo8453]

i know but thats how i call them sets

[@shifty3523]

set definition :1) put, lay, or stand (something) in a specified place or position.2) put or bring into a specified state.        I am not trying to be rude or insulting but I just like to put the definitions for you all. And I even used to call them sets instead of moc or display

[@somezsaltz4526]

+Hunter Edgerton ok

[@andrewmccloud8581]

'On pay from King Charles III' I have no words.

[@jdog7797]

Now i wann see Waterloo!

[@indiajuliet1945]

How did you get that many torsos for the Revolutionary Soldiers and Hessians?

[@shelty3178]

John Sabella you are right!! 😮

[@RedGuyStudios]

@@johnnysheng8744 it’s series 10 I think

[@Ereldor]

I really like the cannons on the road! Are there any instructions/parts lists out there?

[@mrmoto1806]

AND THE PLOT THICKENS MORE FOR GARY!!!!

[@jdog7797]

I need to read way more David McCullough books, way more!

[@Anyideas14]

George III not Charles III

[@bootdude7527]

Operation Tom I was about to comment about that

[@lafayette6762]

He was talking about the hessian (German) King.

[@Anyideas14]

No, definitely he just made a mistake. Can't find a Charles the third of Hesse. He meant George the third.

[@lafayette6762]

George the III wasn't in America. Also, the Hessians were from Germany, not Hesse

[@Anyideas14]

Sean Rideout Hesse is in Germany.

[@shelty3178]

I live near the battle of Trenton!!

[@HaySho-yo1ut]

Nice Hessian minifigures!

[@stormierophan9881]

Anyone know where to find those faces on the Minifigures. I've never seen them before and they look cool.

[@RedGuyStudios]

Custom figures I think

[@markbraley311]

Beyond the Brick George Washington (February 22, 1732-December 14, 1799) and the Continental Army (1775-83) sure were victorious on December 26, 1776 in Trenton, New Jersey, United States.

[@ThePalaeontologist]

Even the British didn't really like the Hessians. They were unreliable and disappointing soldiers, not nearly as good as they were meant to be in the fighting. They were used, really, to sure up the defences in more northerly regions.

[@TheCsel]

They had mixed results. some of the Hessians were experienced and they had riflemen. But the majority of them were conscripted and even though they were considered mercenaries, the soldiers weren't seeing the pay, the german lords were. The british mocked them and weren't friendly. So, they really had very little motivation to fight the Americans when life in America looked a lot better than in Europe.

[@bears9055]

They won most of their battle though

[@EnRandomSten]

one note on the hessians, they were not mercenaries. they were a bought army "lended" by german nobilites they wern't there to "seek fortune and cause missery" they were there as part of their job working in the military.

[@CommunityFan]

A Mercenary is a Paid Soldier, if they were being paid, or were promised to be paid for being a soldier, they were a Mercenary

[@floogon_gameing6987]

​@@CommunityFan By that definition, the Continentals were mercenaries too because (even if it wasn't much) they were being paid for their service

[@CommunityFan]

@@floogon_gameing6987 No, as they signed up for the Continental Army, I worded it wrong but a Merc is a paid soldier being paid by an organization/military, they didn't sign up for the army. The Continentals were actually more a militia.

[@mychipham378]

I love you

[@laural4095]

Some of the hessians were drunk or still were in pjs

[@bears9055]

That's largely an American lie, although they had drank the night before the were outnumbered 4 to 1

[@CommunityFan]

@@bears9055 It would make sense if they were drunk and in their pjs

[@clarcktomimbang6932]

Where can they get those lego figs

[@casualcurtis2501]

Clarck Tomimbang this guy doesn't like using custom mini figs. All those parts are Actual Lego parts that can be bought on brick link.

[@Markovite]

George III but still cool btw what Alexander Hamilton?

[@sulun1658]

He was Washingtons record keeper and financial advisor so he would have stayed at the camp, someone better versed in history could confirm or deny.

[@sulun1658]

Also that musical is amazing

[@Gamemaster-lp3yn]

Jackson Adams yeah we did not fight he just did the finances

[@CommunityFan]

@@sulun1658 It's completely inaccurate

[@mizukarate]

Battle of Brooklyn....get it right

[@wolverine8266]

plz tell me were you get there hats and hair and stuff

[@devlinfisher9028]

What type of hats are the hessians wearing. Like the Lego name of them

[@captainrex936]

Im a Hessian

[@cody18broncos99]

#historylesson

[@arisussman1638]

Uh you mean king George the 3rd

[@mattquigley6518]

I think he meant Prince Charles (of Hesse-Kassel).

[@frigojeffrey]

Henry Knox ?

[@CommunityFan]

What about him?

[@helpimstuckinafridgeandits305]

The mercer legacy is secure. (For anyone who is a die hard hamilton fan)
