    Also, you didn’t beat shit. The French military did.

    That’s some revisionism there… You know that the British had a bunch of Germans as well right? 30,000 German/Hessian mercenaries (nearly half their forces). It would only be natural to work with the French considering the trade that they wanted to conduct with the Americas… If you’re allowing the British to take the German numbers, you have to take the French “anti-numbers” as well… since they only wanted to join in on the fun to spite the British.

      You’re absolutely right, the results were murky with all the third party interference. Seems only fair we have a re-do. USA v Britain. Mano a mano, no seconds.
