Ubisoft's Matt Turner, leader writer for Assassin's Creed 3, says that thanks to the historical records of the American Revolution being so "vast and deep" the team can 'recreate it'.
All of our Assassin's targets "are real people," and drop at the "right place at the right time." The battle of Bunker Hill is a great example because of weather, topography and casualty records.
Seriously though man, that was hilarious. :D
but he's probably not a fan.
