Sure thing, just said that we were attacked by colonists from the United States, but not the actual United States

ARMAMENT


Infantry:

Primary Weapon: Land Pattern Musket

Weight: 4.8kg
Length: 149cm
Barrel Length: 110cm-120cm
Cartridge: 18mm ball
Action: flintlock
Rate of Fire: 3-4 rounds per minute, user dependent
Effective Range: 50-100 yards

Secondary Weapon: Officers and NCOs equipped with swords

Melee Weapon: Socket Bayonet

Uniform:
Enlisted: Red Single Breasted Coatee
NCOs and Cavalry Troopers: Scarlet Single Breasted Coatee
Officers: Scarlet Single or Double Breasted Tail Coat
Grey Trousers in Field, White Trousers in Garrison
Line Infantry Headgear: Belgic Shako with regimental crest in bronze placed center of the cap above the visor
Light Infantry Headgear: Stovepipe Shako ""

Pack gear: 1 Haversack with ammunition and 1 Knapsack with bedroll, tent section, rations for seven days
Rations to consist of Bread, Salted Pork, and a flask of water.

Greatest Strengths: Disciplined, highly organized, and well trained, there are few armies that can stand against the British redcoat in the line of battle.

Greatest Weaknesses: However, that advantage quickly erodes in heavily forested or mountainous terrain, giving advantage to smaller, more mobile forces. In addition, the practice of officers purchasing their commissions results in some less than fully competent officers, particularly of the arrogant disposition.

Tactics: Generally, the Infantry will form up into Regimental formations four ranks deep and begin volley fire at a range of approximately 50 yards. Skirmish troops, such as light infantry and rifles, will be positioned at the front in loose, staggered formations and will provide cover while the Line regiments get into position. Guard infantry and other elite units are usually held in reserve to shore up the lines.

Specialty: Highly disciplined, able to fire and reload four to five times a minute and very good against cavalry.


Cavalry:

Primary Weapon:
Brown Bess Cavalry Carbine issued to Dragoons


Model 1796 Light Cavalry Saber for Hussars


Model 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword used by Guard Cavalry


Cavalry Lance for use by Lancers

Secondary Weapon: Saber carried by Lancers and Dragoons

Melee Weapon: See above

Uniform:
Dragoon Guards


Light Dragoons


Lancers


Royal Hussars


Household Cavalry

Pack gear: Similar to infantry, though carried in saddlebags rather than knapsacks.

Greatest Strengths: Dragoons are highly skilled skirmish cavalry, able to rapidly skirt the enemy front and take up advantageous positions along the flanks and rear. Household cavalry are elite heavy cavalry, often saved to break wavering units and run down retreating enemies. Hussars and Lancers often serve a similar purpose, chasing the enemy from the field and preventing him from regrouping.

Greatest Weaknesses: Infantry armed with bayonets in square formation

Tactics: Dragoons will skirt around the enemy, taking up positions along the flanks where they will endeavor to cause as many casualties and sow as much confusion as possible. As enemy units begin to break, Hussars and Lancers will swoop in to ensure a route. When the enemy is on the brink, the Household cavalry will be deployed and will be followed by an infantry charge to complete the victory.

Specialty: The Cavalry are skilled against infantry however largely fare better against other cavalry and against light infantry and skirmishers.

I reserve the British Empire, mate.

As in the Isles, or the territory that once was the British Empire?

I'm doing this as accurately as possible so it would be the territory of the British Empire in 1822 (yes I know of the date discrepancy)

Uh, well certain territories, like Egypt, have already been reserved. So i'll exclude any that have already been taken.

Also, drop the population. Population of Great Britain was around 12 million, you can increase that to 20 million to account for the Colonies.

NATION INFORMATION

Nation name: Roman Empire; Basileía Rhōmaíōn; Imperium Graecorum; Greek Empire

National goals: To achieve dominance over Anatolia, maintain Great Power status in the Mediterranean, avoid falling behind the rest of Europe and gain absolute command of the Black Sea.

Nation's Leader(s): Emperor Alexios V Komnenos; Prime Minister Issac Palaiologos

National Government: Officially an absolute monarchy, but a de facto constitutional monarchy with an Imperial Diet based on parliamentary principles (the name of which was adopted from the Holy Roman Empire). Members of the Diet are not elected, but inherit their seats through their forebears. The Emperor must give assent to all laws 'advised' by the Diet for them to become law, but the risk of provoking civil war encourages cooperation between the legislature and the official executive.

Britain never controlled Egypt until 1882.
