Massachusetts Militia

 

Here we have another unit of fairly generic colonial Militia, using Brigade Games figures.

The only thing that suggests that they are Massachusetts troops is the flag, one carried at Bunker (Breeds) Hill in June of 1775. It is by Adolfo Ramos in Spain. 

The overall theme of the unit is shades of grey with green facings. 

 

As before, even with the cacophony of subdued colors used, they probably appear far more uniform than would have been the case. 

Flag aside, they could just as easily be loyalist militia. 

They certainly would not be out of place at Bunker Hill or any number of clashes. In the assault upon the entrenchments at Breed's Hill, the British suffered over 1,000 casualties, including 450 killed, with  high proportion of officers. .

Although they were pushed out of their positions after the third assault, the losses of the Americans were less than half that of the British.
