perfect battle - good job

This is absolutely horrendous and full of horrible factual inaccuracies throughout!! Horrible, horrible, horrible!!!!

Waste of bandwidth.

Not here to critique the visuals, because I get that it’s tough to perfectly replicate using Total War mods. I am, however, here to critique the description of the battle in the video, which is wildly inaccurate. On the morning of 9/11/77, the Continental Army was entrenched on the east bank of the Brandywine, facing west. The Crown Forces (British & Hessian troops) were camped about 7 miles west of the river in Kennett Square. Knyphhausen led a column directly west against the Continental position. There was skirmishing between British and American light infantry/riflemen west of the river. Once Knyphausen reached the river, his men deployed, but did not launch a full scale attack, instead demonstrating as though they were planning to cross. Meanwhile, Howe and Cornwallis marched well to the north, then east with a flanking column to two unguarded fords north of Washington’s position. Wayne and Greene were on the American left, facing Knyphhausen across Chads Ford. The Americans began to attack Knyphhausen across the ford, when word came that the flanking column (which presence to this point was unconfirmed by Washington) under Howe and Cornwallis had appeared to the north on the Continental right flank at Osborne’s Hill. Generals Sullivan, Sterling, and Stevens pulled back from the ford, and marched north to counter the British flanking attack. The Americans positioned themselves south of Osborne’s Hill on Birmingham Hill, centered around Birmingham Meetinghouse. In the late afternoon, the British stepped off from the area around Osborne’s hill and advanced south against Sullivan, Sterling, and Stevens. When Knyphhausen heard the assault commence to the north, he launched a direct attack east across Chad’s Ford against the American defenses. The Americans did briefly hold Birmingham Hill, but were pushed south and east by the elite units deployed by Cornwallis. The defenses along the Brandywine crumbled as well, and those troops began to withdraw. Greene did fight a “last stand” of sorts that blunted the British/Hessian advance, and prevented the Continental Army from being completely routed. In conclusion, I’m not really offended as much by the graphics (which most people seem to be squabbling over) as I am by the woefully inaccurate description of the battle itself. This battle is so important, and so many people get the basic facts wrong like they don’t matter. Shame.

Loved it. We need more Revolutionary War battles to be told. An interesting one would be the Hessian attack and repulse at Red Bank/Fort Mercer on the Delaware river in months later in 1777.

Man now i want to play total war empire 😂

Awesome video!!! Good golly - even though these were animated dudes, definitely felt their pain.

God save king George

The Continental Army was still poorly equipped at this time. All had muskets but bayonets were still lacking.

Wildly inaccurate narration-Left and right wings of armies wrong. No mention of Sterling's Division; Hessian Division was on the British right and feinted against American left etc etc.

You forgot to mention that the Light Companies of a number of British Regiments, including the 49th, killed so many of the enemy that the Americans swore they would get revenge, Hearing this the British took the plumes off their hats, dipped them into the Creek which was running red with American blood and put the now red stained plumes back in their hats saying 'You want revenge, come and get it." (or words to that effect). The 49th, by then the Royal Berkshire Regiment, still wore a red patch behind their cap badge in the 1960s to commemorate Brandywine Creek.

The quadruplets at 1:16 must have gone to the same barber too!

Uniforms are wrong --anachronistic

It's been forever since I last played Empire, some of the musket shots look awfully long range for the weapon. 😮

If it wasn’t for the French, Americans would be speaking English.

To win a war of resistance one does not need to win battles, fight battles and retreat without being vanquished.... and live to fight another day. and never stop

This is childish..

We knew what you’d let happen to it. 🇬🇧😂

what game is this

Typical excuse its always done when the Americans lost a battle, they say they inflict a lot of casualties on the British, it means nothing. If it did as implied the Americans could make use of it, they never did.

Were the English fighting the French or the Spanish, or, was it a combination of the two?

Looks like clone armies.

I just completed my family genealogy and found out that my maternal 7x grandfather fought at Trenton and brandywine. He died in 1839 in Huntington Pennsylvania

They had there asses handed to them in whatever color they wore !

Damn skippy we did !

All these idiots got to say something stupid !

Joe Biden was a young 19 year old 2nd Lieutenant at this battle in 1777....So brave!👍

You can say what you like but we won the war

How to make a sound defeat sound like a victory, according to this narrative 😂

Who knew the Brits were already cloning troops back then! Every Redcoat looked like Dennis Quaid in the beginning charge……

History is the indepedent arbiter of events. Disortins because of natinal pride is unerstood, but witth the time to travel back and see what really took place? This was NOT an American victory.

The artillery seems to have been rather ineffective.

I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those kilts.

Why did it swap to a somewhat less than convincing American accent at 2:21 then swap back again at the next section of narration?

Who would have thought a battle as tragic and devastating as Brandywine, could be so humorous lol.

Never mentioned the Loyalist contributions at Brandywine Creek .. I had two grandfathers there .. with the two regiments most responsible for the British victory .. Captain John Howard of the 1st Dutchess County temporarily with the Ferguson Rifle and Captain James Kerr of the Queen's Rangers .. a wood Mason's gavel Howard carved from the staff of a captured American flag and presented to Kerr still remains in the family ..

Looks like a battle of clone armies...

Didn’t realize they had hand grenades in 1777

Must have been something to see.

Evidently most of the deaths were from glitching...

Let's party Like it's 1777

This was beyond goofy.

Muy bien amigos muy real.los granaderos britanicos al frente como debe ser y algo que está muy bien se ve como los granaderos lanzan una lluvia de granadas sobre el enemigo con efectos devastadores.algo que no se suele ver y no se porque.ya lo dice su nombre granaderos cada uno llevaba en una cartera de municiones 3 o 4 granadas que eran devastadoras contra el enemigo.en otra cartera llevaban los cartuchos para el mosquete 50 o 60 cartuchos como mucho.del tahali izquierdo colgaba la funda de la bayoneta que empleaban bastante para romper y machacar al enemigo y también de ese mismo tahali por abajo colgaba la funda de un pequeño sable que les correspondía como tropas de asalto y de élite.no lo usaban demasiado pero a veces en el cuerpo a cuerpo se usaba como arma de emergencia si perdías el mosquete con la bayoneta calada en el.las tropas americanas del ejército continental también están bien recreadas.muy bien y muy real todo.se ve también a las tropas escocesas del ejército británico y como avanza en primera línea la infantería ligera británica que como tropas de élite al igual que los granaderos avanzaban también en primer lugar delante de la infantería de línea para crear una pantalla protectora delante de ellos mientras se acercan al enemigo retirándose después detrás de la infantería de línea cuando están encima del enemigo y dejando que la infantería de línea y los granaderos los machaquen. A veces se retiraban a los flancos de la infantería de línea y los apoyaban desde ahí con un fuego de mosquete asesino sobre el enemigo.tambien se ve a la infantería ligera americana que actúa igual que la británica durante la batalla lógicamente. Artilleria y caballería se ve muy poca.se ven algunas tropas de Hesse reino alemán que era aliado de los británicos en la guerra de la independencia americana. Muy bien todo.cuando los casacas rojas avanzaban era como si pasara un tifón por el campo de batalla.arrasaban todo a su paso.era el ejército mejor entrenado y disciplinado del mundo en esa época....

The british looks so silly in their costumes

Ooh I wore the brandywine flash in my headdress....shame you didn't mention this ...we "slashed " them up so bad Washington said when he found out the regiment responsible he would hunt them down so we put red bits of cloth on our headdress 😊

British against British they're own

A serious error is the long ranges the lines of troops were firing at each other. All these soldiers had muskets which could not hit anything at fifty yards. So in the real world, the lines of troops would no be more than 100 feet apart at the most. The casualties from such mass volley firing often resulted in half the soldiers being killed and wounded.

It was not a 'Revolution' - merely a change of management. The British Bourgeois in America took control of the means of production from the British Bourgeoisie in London. There was no change of class control. The workers remained just as oppressed after 1776 as they were before that date.

Wrong battle Came after 300 Spartans

Todos spartans 300 vs.?
