It's be interesting to hear from a Southerner and see if they learned a different emphasis on the Revolution.

Oh lordy, you're getting hooked again ain't ya! Don't forget you've only got one day off around here. :)
To: SAMWolf
No argument from me. The VLS and electronics that make these ships so nasty in reality don't make for mean looking ship visually. And I've always thought the superstructure ugly even though I'm sure it's totally functional.
To: snippy_about_it
I know. At least I haven't gotten back into multiplayer again - yet.

Wow. The Battle of Cowpens... I have several ancestors who were killed in that battle...222 years ago.

The reenactment of the Battle of Cowpens is staged every January at the national battlefield near Cowpens. Photo by Thomas E. McCarver.
In one of the most dramatic moments of the battle, William Washington, racing ahead of his cavalry, dueled hand-to-hand with Tarleton and two of his officers. Washingtons life was saved only when his young bugler fired his pistol at an Englishman with raised saber. Tarleton and his remaining forces galloped away to Cornwallis camp. Stragglers from the battle were overtaken, but Tarleton escaped to tell the awful news to Cornwallis.
Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) rallies the American militia against the redcoats at the battle of Cowpens in The Patriot.

Evening PhilDragoo. Been to some Civil War re-enactments but never a Revolutionary war one.

It should be pointed out that Tarleton employed terrorism, as indicated in the Patriot, and was encouraged by his superiors to do so. After Cowpens it stopped.

I think it was something like "Happy" but can't be sure. Whatever it is, I don't think your question will pop up in a game of Trivial Pursuit.
