A while ago we had a a pretty good thread going with an RP of the American Revolution. I was thinking that we should start one of these up again.
It is 1776, somewhere in either Western Pennsylvania or New York colony. You may play various types of people. Will you recreate a Patriot Militia? A band of Indians, on either side? A Loyalist milita or British regulars?
I'd rather not have someone play a huge army, rather the smaller units. If you must do it, then go ahead. Also, if you are joining, please post a brief description of your commanding officer, and a brief description of your unit.
Depending on interest, I will open the IC thread as soon as possible.

I suppose anyone could "win" in the end.
