I think blacks are also treated realistically in TURN.

I was dreading the Dunmore proclamation. I fully expected it to portray it as an order to release the slaves. In reality it was a bill of attainder which stripped patriots of all of their property, slaves included. Slaves were to be resold, given to loyalist families, serve British officers or fight for the British.

Good little known points. The British were ruthless.
