@phaidknott –

“… if we can convince the British players that Loyalist Milita DID exist and they really need to get some …”

Hmm … if you ever need help convincing British players about Loyalist militia, ask them to got to OTT and talk to a guy named ORISKANY … who is “named after” the Battle of ORISKANY … where the entire Crown force was New York Loyalist Militia and Crown-loyal Iroquois Native Americans.

Seriously, at least a third the Crown forces in the American Revolution were militia, especially in the northern and southern theaters.  Not so much in the central theater, where the British bulked out their forces with Crown Germans like Hessians instead.  Hell, in the southern theater the Loyalists might have made up HALF  the “British” force.
