Watching a 18th-century war video made me wonder.

Belisarius

Green uniforms were used by Jaegers and Rogers Rangers in the 18th century and most Riflemen in the 19th century.

When armies became larger, when the rifled bullet became common, when tactics

18th ct. war "video"? You mean some reenactment or animation?

Sargon of Akkad

I love the idea of a man who builds a time machine despite having no knowledge of history. Why did you build it then? Why did you want to go back?!

The best camouflage i ever seen was the camouflage of Predator.

The Cell

Never take photos of your friends and yourself in the mirror.

Major Wilson

For the British: a gradual process between Isandlhwana and Second Boer War. The 50 or so survivors of Isandlwana all wore dark uniforms. No one wearing red uniforms made it.

By the Second Boer War even Scottish regiments started to camouflage their kilts etc.
