Gettysburg "Wheatfield" tactical

[JohnnyReb102]

I know that ANV is not supporting the tactical on Thursday evening. Are there any other CSA units that will be participating that would be willing to let a couple others fall in?

I have not been to a GAC event in the past or done many tacticals so I am sort of looking forward to this one.

Come by Longstreet's Corp headquarters and I'll help you find out who is participating and find you a unit to fall in with.

I'll be setup by Wednesday morning. Just ask for Terry Shelton

What time is this supposed to start? I've heard a lot about it, but have seen no details. Anyone know the scoop?

I read somewhere the tactical is supposed to start at 7 PM Thursday, but I can't remember where. I'll keep checking, but it is in the evening.

Is this some political BS? I really hope not. These boycotts have a tendency to spread out of control and make everything really difficult for everybody.

I'll tell you what who ever misses the tactical will miss a great fight. Last years tactical was great and a powder burner there was fighting in a feild in the woods over and under fences and even in a farm yard. I'm sure this years will be just as great my Brigade that i command is looking forward to it. At this time it starts at 7pm so it should not be as hot and i think it will be a great time. I hope to see you all there both union and confederate.

I would need to remind everyone that there is a big difference between deciding not to support (i.e., form the established brigades and battalions with their respective chains of command) and holding an active boycott (i.e. instructing their commands to specifically not to attend). Since, as a unit commander, I have received no communications from my ANV chain of command not to attend the Thursday tactical, I am assuming that there is no "ANV boycott". Rather, I would suspect that the ANV chose not to require all their brigade and battalion commanders be present and prepared to field units for the Thursday tactical (i.e., not formally support the tactical). In other words, the ANV chose to make the tactical an optional battle for its members, units and commanders rather than an expected one. Considering the fact that Thursday is not a legal holiday for most folks, I personally support such an ANV decision as I would expect that many ANV members and commanders will not be arriving until late Thursday afternoon and into Thursday evening. I know that will be the case for me and most of my unit.

Thank you Tom. Absolutely not a boycott but they do recognize that it will be tough to coordinate. After all, not everybody is on summer break and can make the trip up whenever.

I will be down there early enough on Thursday to participate but cosidering that I will be up early driving 4 hours, set up in July heat so I'll probably just skip the Tactical
