Description At the Battle of Monmouth  reenactment, like with many other reenactments, the British seem to always be outnumbered. If the numbers are so out of balance, the Continental side usually donates a company of men to the British side to serve as Loyalist Militia. In this case we received a company of men who were intended to serve as Rebel Militia from New Jersey, but they turned-coat and ran to our side, as to even the odds.

Can't say that I'm much suprised by the fact that the British are outnumbered in reenactments If I'd ever take part in something like this I'd be a Brit since they've got fancier uniforms Anyways the reenactments we have here in Estonia the russians are always outnumbered

I can believe that. But regarding the uniforms, you would not want to wear them during the summer, they get very very hot, in the summer we have to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration.

I can definitely understand how it goes in Estonia, I guess that's always how it is with reenactments.

I can imagine that, but still they look really cool.

Yeah it's especially funny when it's a battle that the estonians lost

ohh, that's gotta hurt, it's like with the battles of Bunker Hill,  Germantown, and Brandywine. 

It's odd to see the Americans running and losing, when we know they won the war in the end.

I know, we just had to make the battle look less one-sided.
