	*In ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]'', the Continental Army serves as the main enemy force and is referred to as the "King's Army", owing to the United States becoming a tyrannical monarchy. The allies of the player in turn appear to be the British Army, such that the roles of the two factions are switched from the main game, though the ~~redcoats~~ are technically "rebels", not actual British soldiers.		*In ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]'', the Continental Army serves as the main enemy force and is referred to as the "King's Army", owing to the United States becoming a tyrannical monarchy.
