Bunker Hill Battle 1775

On June 17, 1775 the American militia had built a wooden fort in the vicinity of Boston. The British make landing and attack. Americans repel the attack twice, but fall on the third attempt. This marks one of the opening battles of the American Revolution.

Produced as part of a school history assignment.

Created on a Mac using iMovie and the awesome Sega PC game Empire: Total War.

Why do they always show the wrong American flag?. The British flag in the canton of the striped flag was not replaced by the 13 stars (in various patterns including the circle) until 1777, two years after this battle.

The flag shown was the default flag that the game provided at the time footage was captured. There are a few inaccuracies here and there, but the intent was to capture the flavor of the battles and enhance my son's history presentation. We enjoyed 'producing' this short video and hope viewers also find it beneficial.

No "Greenjackets" fought at bunker hill - in fact, this is the only real issue with ETW - GREENJACKETS (IE Rifles) didn;t exsist untill the 1800's

[MrKlombardi]

Yes, I know. ETW sacrifices accuracy in some areas, but it is a game after all.  Thanks and enjoy.

uuuuuuummmmmmm we didnt have such a big fort in the battle. we had maybe ditches and dirt walls, maybe some walls made of wood but not a whole fuckin fort. they had only about what 12 hrs? u cant make a whole fort in that time

Before people comment so much. This is a game -_- Called empire total war. My favorite game.!

[SRFColonel]

We had earthworks, convex trenches, the reason we lost is becuase of ammunition depletion.

[MrPrevo1984]

@MrKlombardi Yeah I know. The correct flag which the game designers didn't know was the 'Grand Union Flag ' wiki/Grand_Union_Flag

[solidestnick]

what game is this?

[danuk500]

@mhmatt1 maybe he could of used trenches on top of a hill?

[usterdboy]

@mhmatt1 A final attack was made, concentrating on the redoubt and center of the American position. The American ammunition was all but exhausted and this final assault carried the redoubt, forcing the Americans to retreat and leave the peninsula. They were not vigorously pursued. The British suffered some 1,150 killed and wounded or nearly half of the force engaged. The American casualties were estimated at 450 killed and wounded. STFU idiot you dont know shit

[mhmatt1]

Guys give him a break you cant get that fort in etw and im sure the green jackets were just to add more fun to the video.

[mhmatt1]

@usterdboy and the fact that British soldiers were killing them!!!!!!!

[usterdboy]

you forgot they retreated because of the lack of ammo

[justmesince1994]

@memikell thats cuz he played a costom battle he set the battle up stupid cuz there is a cenario battle thats about bunker hill and its more realistic
