In the spirit of comparing this to that.
An full strength American Infantry Squad humps in to Lexington Massachusetts on the night of 18 April 1775. Who wins? |

Quoted:
You mean a modern infantry squad versus colonial militia? And this is a serious question?  ANY military force of the period would have shit themselves if a few SAW's, 203's, etc. opened up on them. Add a dude cocking a shotgun and Great Britain would merely be a U.S. territory now. |

Well, I'm going with "the modern infantry squad kicks major ass right up until they run out of ammo, and then they get eaten alive by whatever Brits are still standing." |

Most of the Brits would still be standing, errr, running I mean. THE OTHER WAY! Do you know what a SAW gunner can do to infantry in close formation at 150/200 yds? |

SO, play it right- SAW gunner and Rifleman on each side of the town green 100 meters into the woods, M203s closer to the middle and SDM and SL in the middle. I say the british last about 10 seconds after the first shot with about 100 casualties. If the SAW gunners keep shooting after they break probably 50-100 more. Of course they run straight back to Boston, COncord never happens and the Militia doesn't have its big day. |
