Three interesting links, thank you.

Dutch involvement in the American Revolution: https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/en ... revolution


If there was to be a new ARW game produced I'd like to see it include the efforts by the Dutch, French and Spain in the war also the possibility of other nations entering the war besides France.

What about the Germans (e.g., Hessians)? There was also talk in the beginning of the war about bringing in some Russians to fight for the British too.

Correct me if I am wrong. At the time the Hessians were introduced into the American Revolution conflict as mercenaries, most if not all of Germany (as most might see it) was City States, Greater Germany had not been created yet. As to Russia entering the conflict: I do not know about that? These days I'm finding it difficult to google on such matters, don't know why?


EDIT:
OK, just dug up this article: https://www.mountvernon.org/library/dig ... /hessians/

Here's another article about Russia during this period. Now I get where you are coming from..!!! https://www.pri.org/stories/2017-07-04/ ... revolution

There are lots of Germans included in the Ageod "Birth of America" game.

On Steam there is a game Hold the Line, also available on Hexwar. Quite simple but suprisingly quite accurate historically. Playing rebel colonists you cannot smash the whole British army, only you can do is to make some casualties which lower enemy's morale. In my personal opinion - worth a look and know

von Loos

Translated into English, wouldn't that be something like "From the toilet" if I am not mistaken.

Or y'know... you could go play the tabletop game of the same name that it's based on.
