I just bought this DVD. I've tried to watch it but the reenactments are disappointing. I watched both sides hurl volley after volley at each other and there was no evidence of anyone really taking a "hit". And then you'd see the HEssians or some British company retreating. Why? Not one of their people "fell". I know you can't shoot em up fast and furious, want to give the people a show but still...come on!

If I could knock people down with my Jedi powers and make them take hits - I would - but, alas, I edited the battles to make them as dramatic as possible - fighting in the 18th century isn't nearly as fast and brutal as, say, the Civil War, but the scale is cool. Sorry, wish there were more bodies on the field :-)

This is very impressive. I am British and very proud of it. By 1780, that small and noble force that attempted to fight in America was all but broken. You can fight the Americans, but finally, it was America itself that prevailed. The British army fought with great honour and glory during this campaign; any historian worth anything would have to agree. It was just too much. They marched out of Yorktown with their honours and colours intact. God bless em all!

Yorktown was a French victory!! The Revolution would have been lost without the French. Just like in the war of 1812, If Britain wasnt at war Napolean and Rebels in the far east they would have took the U.S back, They took most of the U.S with a few thousand soldiers!

Very good video I wearing Grenadiers uniform but Austrian from age 1798 last time a wear it was on austerlitz 2007 (very good battle 800 soldiers was been there) . VIVAT KAISER FRANZ 1 and grettings from Czech Republic (from 59. infatry regiment Leopold Joseph Maria von Daun later Langois)

A British army garrison surrendering is a very rare event. The Frenchies were destined to pay a VERY heavy price for poking their long noses into a family argument which had nothing to do with them. They would shortly lose their Atlantic fleet, their economic prosperity and eventually their illustrious monarchy. The rest, as they say, is history...

1:40-2:00 was a sad time for the king and his men ):

[fifilafrance]

yes and most of the american fighters were firing french weapons that they had received from french fleet and occasionnaly 10 000 french soldiers gave quite a bit of a hand to (guess how many?) 9000 americans fighters...
