Blue Coats, Red Coats, or Green Coats

[Napoleon]

It may be a fishy death, but if there's one thing about fish, it's the smell of a redcoat!

I wish LDD had blue coats and red coats... I'd participate. I mean. with the mod, I can MAKE red and blue coats, but without the decals on the chests, It wouldn't be the same. :(

Do you like the smell of fish?, because that could be a compliment.

[Captain Blackmoor]

No Legoworld Zwolle this time? I'll be there exposing too.

[J.L. Hornblower]

Nope ! Didn't get an entry.

Belug is coming with a steamtrain lay out that really excists in Belgium.

I didn't participate in that.So.....

Maybe I come as a visitor.I will see if I get free at work.

My fortress is also serious beaten up,almost a K.O. , in transport.

I asked Bonaparte if Classic Pirates where coming to Zwolle.

He didn't now at that time and I had no further reaction.

I started now a lay out in western..

Sorry for the bump, but as soon as I get my hands on some bluecoats (My birthdays coming up) I may indeed change sides.

If you betray me you shall be disrespected for life.

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

Well, in my pirate universe, the Bluecoats and Redcoats become allies, eventually.

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

Hey, France and Britain became Allies post-Napoleonic.

Captain Becker

will have to find that thread.. but wen i do i will! i actually have alot more also.. including pirates.. and knights.. it was always a dream for me wen i was a kid to have like this huge army in the hundreds.. now that i am older i could actually make it a reality .. however now since im older i realize how dang expensive they are.. i toned it down from the hundreds to just like 80.. lol.. i have about 75 imperial guards and about 40 pirates.. and then about 100 knights..(half uniformed / like random militia villagers)

Thats impressive. Do you have a higher resolution picture? If so maybe this could get squeezed onto the Classic-Pirates.com frontpage.

Always glad to hear about another reasonable man coming to bluecoat's side!

NO BLUE COATS ALLOWED!

We may need to keep an eye on him and his army.

[lt.Gonville brickhead]

Firstly, You didnt kill people with Pitchforks and shovels.

Secondly, you had muskets and flintlocks.

Thirdly, You had to borrow it all from the french because you had pratically no money.

Forth, You made france get in debt after the war. Tut tut tut.

Fifth, We backed out, You did not beat us into submission.

Sixth, We signed a treaty.

So, Dont get so cocky.

backed out the redcoats seem to do that a lot

[Joey Lock]

backed out the redcoats seem to do that a lot

Give examples.

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

I got to admit, Britain hasn't done much backing out historically. Maybe the hundred years war, and the Irish Revolution, but that's all I can remember right now.

[lt.Gonville brickhead]

Give examples.

Battle of saratoga British surrender October 17

Battle of tuberneering

(description)

The battle was an ambush of a British force of 400 men under Lieutenant-Colonel Walpole, containing one troop of regular cavalry (the 4rth Royal Irish Dragoon Guards) and militia and Yeomanry auxiliaries. They were ambushed in a narrow defile by United Irish rebels. Walpole and 100 men were killed, the rest, throwing away their weapons and uniforms, fled. The regular Dragoons made an attempt to fight back but they were in a bad place for cavalry so they withdrew. This defeat allowed 3 cannon to be captured which were subsequently used against British troops at the battle of Arklow.

Siege of Drogheda 1641

The soldiers attempted to hold them off (The irish) by firing in volleys, but were unable to co-ordinate their actions and panicked when they saw the rebels bearing down on them. Many threw down their muskets and ran away, the remainder being either killed or captured.

[Lord Valgor]

Considering that the only war the French have ever won by themselves would be the French Revolution (that's using the term "won" extremely loosely and rather sarcastically, in case you didn't realize), I would have to say that the Red Coats are far superior. And they look cool too :D

Man, its like a history lesson here haha. All I can say is that the most interesting wars in the past, all involve the British. The royal red coated army!, Losing or winning, its interesting to see them in history!
