Loyalist Troops to be posted at a later date

[Guardsman Masters]

I must nit-pick on 4 things on the British unit list

-The 16th Were Light Dragoons not Heavy Cavalry
-The 17th were Light Dragoons but they served with Tarleton and his cavalry unit in the southern campaign with Cornwallis but Tarleton was in command of his own horse regiment which was called the British Legion which was a Loyalist Cavalry unit.
-The 60th Royal American Regiment was a loyalist unit but a regular British Battalion unit and would not be classified as Light Infantry. I would suggest using the 40th Light Foot or the 2nd Battalion of Light Infantry or Cpt/Lt Fraser's Company of Select Marksman(armed with muskets) or butlers rangers(armed with muskets and rifles)
-The Marines were not royal unit 1804(if you are a royal unit you have blue facing the marines didn't have blue facings till after 1804)

Sorry for nit-picking but I had to correct these mistakes and provide the facts

The Drummers for the Americans actually had reversed colors so the coat would be red and the facings blue

The British should have armed every man with a drum, so that the Americans would have thought that the British were a massive Yankee tattoo of drums and fifes.

Would 'a been funny.

If you trying to think that every British drummer was wearing a red coats faced blue then your wrong. Only the Royal regiments aka the regiments that have royal blue facings had red coat faced blue. All the other regiments that were faced yellow, white, orange etc... were the opposite to. For example the 9th regiment of foot were faced yellow to the musicians coats we yellow faced red. also when it come to regiments like the 33rd foot they have redcoats and red facing so the musicians had white coats and red facings.

It was a generalisation, no need to tell me what I already know.

-The Marines were not royal unit 1804(if you are a royal unit you have blue facing the marines didn't have blue facings till after 1804)

In the interest of nit-picking even further, I have to point out that the Marines were granted the 'Royal' title on 29 April, 1802. The order to adopt blue facings came through on 6 May, though it stated the new uniforms weren't to be adopted until 4 June to celebrate the King's birthday.

Another thing is that they're called the "1st Battalion" here, but British marine divisions simply had companies which weren't organised into battalions. No ship was allocated more than a company (they were allowed one marine per gun, plus an officer staff) so a battalion served no purpose. Sometimes temporary battalions were formed when several companies were serving on land together, but it wasn't a permanent establishment. There were three semi-permanent battalions formed in the Napoleonic era that wound up serving in the War of 1812, but they were quickly disbanded. In short, there may have been Marine battalions (there were two at Bunker Hill), but they was no "1st Battalion".
