In the final field battle the militia is shown firing a volley, then the British regulars fire a volley, and then the militia fire a second volley. This is inaccurate. Militia were notoriously slow at reloading in combat, mainly due to a lack of training, practice, and experience. British troops were well trained in this procedure and consistently throughout the War of Independence fired three, four, and even five volleys to every two of militia. Assuming well above average militia, the sequence of volleys should have been militia, British, British, militia.
