Tell me, what do you have up for opposing forces at some of these events? I know that when I was doing Civil War many years ago there was a shortage of troops in blue. It looked like the Hanoverian line at Bedford was a bit thin. Would be willing to serve on the other side if needed.

this isuuse i have been attempting to figure out....why is it they there are so few Gov Force's that turn out???? Well to tell the truth correct me if im wrong here most of the the people who normaly portray Crown Forces in other time periods are Jacobites durring this time period...I concure that in ACW events you are hard prssed to find a "Yankee" but you have
400000 Rebs...Its some what sad state of Affairs...Hell even in REv war down here there is a Huge difference between the Rebs and Crown forces.. So its not just this time perriod it seems to be the rule of thumb..

How to fix the issue at hand?

There is nonething that the Chris..Elliot  and everyone else that has had a hand in these events  can Do to other then make the invatations to different Groups and hope for the best.. But what the Army of King James can Do theres a different issue...Its Simple...We need to be ready to Galvanise put on a red Cockade and Joing the Crown forces...

I tell you what guys you havent  seen the highland charge until you have been on the reciving end of one...I know alot of people really dont want to do this for what ever reason....
two years ago I actively heard a Group flat out refuse...

Some thing that those who were members of the Argyels were not "highlanders" because of their politics...Well I think that is well B.S. Highland blood was spiled on both sides Both sides suffered the aftermath....
                                                                                     off soap box

Would the stories go over better is you said well We the highland ARmy of King James took the feild hopelessly out #ed
we fought we died...Aposed to..Well the Cecil B Demile sized Army of King James took the feild and were smited buy ...uhmmmm 5 redcoats

Luckily enough..we're slowly getting round this..not only our our redcoats recruiting(must be some lottery winners around..), but some of our Highlanders normally fight on the Govt. side...gives them a chance to go Slash,Ting! with sword armed opponents.

Hello Gentleman Volunteer and welcome!  Its good to hear of your interest and efforts to bring forces out in support of King George.  We of the Army of King James look forward to meeting you in May on the field of honour. 

For your information, there is another good size group of Argyle's coming out led by Steve Sandford (KRRNY rev war) so you will be in good company.  Let me encourage your efforts and I hope that you find this a rewarding experience and one you wish to repeat.    We have another event coming up in Bedford PA September 4/5 so if you find you enjoy what happens at Crown Point you may want to consider that one.

all the best,
Chris Timm
