Note to the hobby: the fly goes OVER the wall tent, not in front of it.....

Exciting news Joe!!!

Winter Quarters with access to bigger canvas than a shelter half. This isn't a unit on the move, this is a garrison.

the uprights look like 4"+ diameter..... I'm thinking 3 uprights a side, 6' long, 2.25 feet in the ground, 3.75' to top of post. tamp down the earth well and drive a few wedges in to make the posts...

Mike: probably not, maybe a place to hang laundry/blankets? and they usually used 3"+ diameter 'poles' the better to handle high winds....and I don't see any clove hitched lines tethering tent\fly...

Note the shape of the front porch fly on the wall tent.....something our current generation of reenactors should try to emulate....also there's a 'hitching' rail on the far side of the wall tent to...

OK I'll bite, 124th NY involved in the wounding of General Jackson??

I just drove by it......am trying to get down to Conner Prairie mid May.....but this might be interesting

Just heard from the esteemed bugler of the Zimmerman and Murphy concern.....seems that Steve will be bringing his 17 year old son up north......looks like 5 buglers in the Brigade at this point!!!

Sound's like an issue to be resolved with the BBB\Chamber of Commerce\Convention Bureau......that just isn't right.

What you are missing Bill is that you are looking at the historical record for one unit for one scenario. An individual coming to G150 will be portraying multiple units for multiple...

Ouch guys, we have first hand accounts of Ammo being resupplied to the Iron Brigade (AOP, I/I/1) from train wagons on the first day during lulls in the battle. There's more to Gettysburg than...

The Enfield because it's more accurate than the Springfield? Or are you talking about being more generic in reenacting?

Craig, Specifically was referring to reBored .54 from Austria.....the Iron Brigade had two Lorenz' rifle regiments and they rebored to .577. Not ordered from Vienna in a non-.54 bore.

Thanks Boyd!!!

And Bernie, if you can find a record of the Lorenz' being rebored to .58 I'm all ears....the Iron Brigade Lorenz' in the 2nd and 7th Wisconsin were rebored to .577, for example.

For a four day event?

Who's the lucky Federal General reenactor who gets to hide IN the pig sty?!!!

I do exactly that for all out of state events attended....short answer: yes.

I think I witnessed some of your assault on Thursday at Twin Rivers. Understand about the thrill of simulated battle, that's one of the reasons I still reenact....

We did a fairly decent job in 1998.....had over 400 rifles in trying to do a man for man 24th MI. we did the flag drops and officer casualties per the readings.....re-ammo-d, sent out details to get...

Unfortunately I do.....sounds like the VC pulling an L shaped ambush in 'Eye' Corps. What historical vignette are you attempting to reenact? At what event?

I hear you Andy! Born and raised in Wisconsin on a lake for most every summer....I can not tolerate mosquitoes, period. so I bring the 100% DEET in the Red Bottle....

After the heat and 'coming home' up the hill after the battles.....I'm right with you! And we did it barefoot, uphill both ways, without iPods or iPads.....

Frank: 52 degrees but I hear you on the need for a blanket.....
