Its hard to pass up a chance to ride in the ranks with that many troopers. So tighten you girth and call that number boys.

so, does that mean that artillery and cav are not reenactors?




just asking.

[VaTrooper]

Possibly to let us know that they are actual numbers not estimates?

I hope this is going to be a good event, this would be my first "big one"

all events, any event, is what YOU make it for you. It is your experience...do not let how others feel direct your feelings about any event.

I dont know buddy 5" of rain last weekend was enough to bring anyone down.

[Popeye]

I live in NH....we were 15 inches for the month of June....still below the record 18.4 set in 1944. But your right......that kinda rain at an event makes it real tough to get motivated.....generally a good thunder and lighting storm starts the big stedaddle!!

Thunder and lightning usually pass pretty quick but that system just stalled over us for days. 15 inches? Wow, only half an inch a day.

I have to echo Popeye's sentiments (and, welcome back BTW). Events, large and small, are rarely all things to all folks. Manassas being somewhat of a "National" event this year on the mainstream side, I'd expect for it to be savaged by more than a few here. However, if you and your unit go and have a good time, what does it matter, really? Is it gonna be "history heavy"? Heck no......but a couple thousand troops on each side is a sight to behold and sometimes worth being part of. That, and it can't be any worse than the 140th debacle.
