For a new treat, 4th Coy was invited back to Colonial Williamsburg to participate in the Continental equivalent of Under the Redcoat to play the "bad guys". Similar to Under the Redcoat, the Crown forces took over Colonial Williamsburg, only to be run out of town by the arriving Continental forces. The company was also able to participate in Williamsburg's Revolutionary City by providing the guard force for the proclamation of martial law by a British officer. For those keeping track at home, 4th Coy "took" Colonial Williamsburg about three times in one day and the continental forces could do nothing about it.

The culmination of the event was an "ambush" of the continental forces on a farm on Colonial Williamsburg property. No one could remember a time in recent memory where Colonial Williamsburg allowed an engagement between reenactment groups on their grounds. Immediate feedback was positive, which will hopefully lead to more of these types of scenarios in the future.
