But Shaw and his companion made the same mistake as Pyle and his men, even though Shaw claimed Lee's men were dressed in brown. What does this mean? <br /><br />To speculate:<br /><br />Maybe Tarleton's troopers' uniforms were so dingy that they looked brownish at a distance. Or maybe what soldiers noticed first was whether a group of men appeared to be well-uniformed or not. Or, if Lee's men were relatively well dressed and equipped, then perhaps British and Loyalist soldiers reflexively took them to be compatriots. (Those are my best guesses, anyways).ADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870881763619404109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248457192905414765.post-52328636065408465542011-02-27T19:27:58.501-06:002011-02-27T19:27:58.501-06:00The figures look good.

That'll confuse 'em!<br /><br />I always clip my Minifigs bayonets too.
