Sir Did, that is exactly why I choose not to attend most "Rennaissance Faires." The archaeology student in me gets his dander up.

As to the game, "Assassin's Creed" is a franchise of fantasy video games based around the premise that the player is playing the avatar's ancestors through various time-travelling/telepathis means.

This third installment is based during the French and Indian War through the American Revolution. My nephew is a fan of them. He's a competition gamer (yes, people compete playing video games). He was playing it and I snapped a photo.

No, they are supposed to be beards but my photo is a bit fuzzy.

Historical accuracy is certainly to-be-desired with this franchise. Arms, armour, heraldry (where applicable), costumes, and characters are a bit anachronistic. If you want period-correct video games, then let me knkw when you've made one. I haven't ever seen one that was spot on but would like to.


I am not sure why it was moved, either. Video games would seem to count as media...and asking a question about the various units during an historical period would seem to be more of a history question than a weapon-related question. Oh, well. No biggie. I'm still curious about which Highland units were statined in America during the late colonial period. I would love to learn more of the history.
