Weren't Tories Irish highwaymen who robbed English nationals?
That wouldn't be a bad unit for rebel stacks in Eire.

It just occured to me that another special unit that England should have is Torie militia.

There were definitely loyalist units raised by the Brits in the revolution. I forget if they were called tories or something else, but I know what you mean.

I believe that the estimate as to the general feeling of the colonists when the war broke out was that about a third of them were revolutionaries, a third were loyalists, and a third were indifferent either way.

Given that, its absolutely amazing the revolution succeeded.

USA never had 3 deck, first rate ships? How about Pennsylvania
Started in 1916 but delayed by budget till 1837 & never actually used as a ship of the line.
