As the Celtic Light Infantry looks out over the field we see scarlet coats approaching in the distance. As they get closer the Celts unleash a volley of fire and we see bodies drop. This must be those Hessian hordes that challanged us in a battle. The Battle of Camden is on. Will history repeat itself? or will a wild yell and charge by true Highlanders and thier Irish brethern fighting in the cause of American liberty turn the tide and change history?

Sir,
Be careful where you fire your weapon. Lord Rawdon and his Volunteers of Ireland are on the field.

Mr Scott, I hate to see fellow Celts fighting on the side of the English. While my men loath to kill fellow Celts, it might happen do to your misguided loyalties. All is not lost though, if you can see the light and come on over to the true side of Liberty.

I thought we set the record straight at the Battle of the Boyne. If not, then by all means let us settle this at Camden. Be wary sir, captured traitors to the King are dealt with harshly.

Mr Scott, As we never recognized the illegal Hanorverian monarchy, even after that terrible day in Erin when many a brave true Jacobites fell, we do not recognize it now. All my men are now true Americans and will do our best to drive the English invaders from our shores. As for the so called loyal Irish, Loyal Irish would not have been mixed up with the Orangemen, but would have stood and fought with the true King over the water. Enough of the King stuff though, GOD Bless America.

Sir, We are both Irish in America, we just disagree on how we should be represented. Yes, My dear Amos, your keen eye and dull wit have struck again, that is the intrepid Major Andre in that photo. It's all I had to go by in a pinch.

The battle is in full swing now. The American Militia on the flanks fired a volley or two and took up and ran, but the sturdy Continantles are holding firm. Red coats litter the field. If the ammo should run out, my boys have orders to go in with the claymore.

The battle is raging. The American militia runs and reforms again. The Red coats are met with vollies of fire that drive many of them back. It is bloody on both sides and the outcome is far from certain.

Hahah, What a paitning sir Natta.

Though there is something wrong in history. Most believe Nathan Hale said moments before his death "I have but one life to lose for my country!" WRONG!

His words were:
"GUUULLLCK!"
