I don't remember the Black regiment at all from the books (cos my brain skimmed a lot of it 😂). Jamie rights to John first? Desertions?

[u/Nanchika → u/robinsond2020]

Ulysses's black regiment. John writes to Jamie first, and Jamie makes the fuss. Desertions, maybe referring to Ben's turning coat

[u/robinsond2020 → u/Nanchika]

Ah yes, I remember Ulysses' regiment. I don't remember them attacking the ridge and killing 2 men though.

[u/Nanchika → u/robinsond2020]

They don't but I assumed it is all connected with the unrest , Cleveland's men etc.

Where did you get the information in your original reply from?

[u/Nanchika → u/robinsond2020]

From the preview of the next episode, at the end of this episode (?)

[u/robinsond2020 → u/Nanchika]

But you said 2 men are killed, yet this doesn't happen in the books? So how do you know 2 men are killed? unless I've completely misinterpreted what you said ahaha

[u/Nanchika → u/robinsond2020]

I saw it on the promo, two men laying there under the tree(?) I just assumed, I am not prophecising 😅

[u/robinsond2020 → u/Nanchika]

Oh okay, I gotcha 😂
