Well, I guess they are being even more historically accurate than they thought.

Being in the south (Tupelo, Ms.) they were all Confederate troops.

And acted as more of a rabble than regular troops..

The cannon cockers were also Confederate but were a organized unit, with an established chain of command.. (They were from Alabama)

They had to wait for the park ranger to finish his speech before firing.

They were short a couple of men, so the seargent also played powder monkey.
(The seargent s the guy with the new Dragoon)

The gun is owned by the #1 man (the guy ramming the charge home)

The US Soldier will have on his person a version of the Colt 1911. 2. He will be aiming the NEW Weapon at someone carrying an AK. Last edited by n5lyc; July 14, 2013 at 11:07 PM.
