Waterloo 2015 - Well well well...

It wouldn't be any less work, only more. You'd still have the give that guy all the information you'd fill in yourself.

That's true, I think the reasoning behind it is so that the entire unit gets registered, rather than saying here's the link go do it... only for one person to say, I'll do it in a bit and then forgetting to do so

[Duuring]

Then you have lazy members xD

Then you have lazy members xD

Haha I think every unit has them!

*raises hand*

Haven't heard anything from my unit about registering personally either, perhaps some one has too much spare time and is doing it for all of us....?

[Duuring]

Don't think so.

I've seen some people posting on facebook that even if they don't get accepted, they'll still go. Guys, seriously, no, you won't. The freaking Militairy Police is going to secure both the camp and the battle. If you don't sign up, you won't get a armband and you won't be allowed entry on to the battlefield or the camp.

Just what the hell, I thought this was supposed to be a hobby you do for fun.

[Barnesy]

It is, until the politicians get involved and make it political

Knew the army would try and jump on the bandwagon...  over here aside from the Soldiers Charity, the army has had very little to do with any of the Peninsular War or Waterloo commemorations, until this. It's frustrating that all of a sudden they're going to be wanting to get their guys in kit (I can honestly see this happening) so they can have a go on the field as well.

Same here with the cavalry. Suddenly all these military riders who haven't joined a re-enactment in 6 years are coming back for 2015.

[Barnesy]

The only good thing that's coming of it so far is that Haynesy is going to have a pipe and drum band in C Brigade! Cannot wait to be marching behind that

[munky-wunky]

if I learned anything from Gettysburg 150th. If your having registration problems then the event itself is gonna be chaotic

I have an amazing idea for Waterloo 2015:

Spoiler

[close]

Black Napoleon

[Barnesy]

They haven't announced who's going to be napoleon or Wellington yet have they?
I've got an idea who Wellington will be. Met him at The Lord Mayors parade last year. Nice guy

[Mr T]

Napoleon will likely be Frank Samson I imagine, he's been Napoleon at Leipzig and at all the Bicentenaries in France so far, dunno though.
