Speaking of PM I dont know if you remember Qman from the 21e (current 15e) Deo but he will be out there as on the Fed side. If we can I got to drop by and say hi.

 I do get where you folk are coming from regarding the countries and language barriers. In ACW you can get an easily uniformed battalion together easy. With NW its a rainbow. I know its unavoidable but it is something thats always turned me of about NW.

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Actually its becoming likely that i will choose WW2 over ACW for that weekend. My unit is planning on doing sleeping in trench and tons of stuff instead of "returning to barrack for giggles"  and there's a USO Ball one of the night which I plan to take a lady friend out.  So all of that kinda weigh in for the WW2 instead of ACW.

We all know every European whether they admit to it or not speak American.

Sure Millander, you're right, but the thing is; If it's so easy, then why doesn't everybody indeed look the part? It's indeed easier to get an equally dressed unit but at the same timr, I see a lot of ACW groups that... Don't.

Not at all true,

During events people usually stick to their own language, because most Germans, French and so on don't speak more English than a few words.

It is just so incredibly easy to get ACW equipment.

I think there are a hundred times more ACW reenactors than there are NW :P

"Hmm I want to do another ACW impression"

*Go to site*
*Buy stuff*

"Done."

Napoleonic:
"Hmm I want to do another Nap impression"

*Research*
*More research*
*Get uniform designs*
*Make stuff yourself*
*Get an expensive tailor and explain exactly what you want*
*Order a bunch of different items at different sutlers, most of which do not have sites*
*Cry because you are already broke at this point*
*Wait three months on those specially cast buttons*
*Find out your uniform has the wrong braid for the period you want to do*
*Cry some more*

I know this. The Poles, Czechs, and Russians do this too... even if they're portraying Americans or English.

It's actually pretty funny to sit at the local tavern and around you, people talk French, German, English and Dutch.

Get a bigger population to counter it.
