	Battle of Lexington and Concord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One farmer mistook this British patrol for his countrymen after nightfall and asked them, "Have you heard anything about when the regulars are coming out?" He was slashed on his scalp with a sword.
		The British regulars, 900 strong, were led by Colonel Francis Smith and were drawn from the elite light infantry and grenadier companies in Gage's occupying regiments.
		Some witnesses among the regulars reported the first shot was fired by an American spectator behind a hedge or around the corner of a tavern.

	Jackson Gamers' American Revolution Skirmish Game
		One of Phil Young's British platoons which had forded the stream, and moved almost the length of the 8 foot game table, then turned 90 degrees and moved through the American camp, to this rail fence.
		There were several different British units that took the post of honor on the right flank, one after the other, each beating various groups of rebels, but losing heavily to desertion in the process.
		The British player (Jay Stribling) had terrible morale, as his men flinched repeatedly from close quarters with the rebels, and the platoon leader fell dead (due to heat stroke probably, since I do not think the rebel fire was effective at this point).

		Fighting in the South Carolina backcountry often resembled modern guerilla warfare as Patriot militias and Continental regulars fought Loyalists and British regulars.
