Waterloo 2015

Which questions?

-Sarcasm is bad.

- No idea on the current sign-in.

[König]

Well if you wish to ignore the slightly sarcastic first one; How many people are already signed-up? Do you know?

[OGNValjean]

4000? That is a joke for American Civil War Reenactors, I would definately go to this, but I "regent Testing" around that time in 2015 T_T

They could have at least made it 6000 and had roughly 2000 Anglo-Dutch, 2000 French and 2000 Prussians. Give or take a lot to get the ratios right.

[Duuring]

I spoke to one of the organizers and he said he doubted there were 8000 militiary re-enactors.

I'm still not sure how that's a reason for a maximum.

[zac]

well, with the guys from ACW etc over here that wanted to do Waterloo u would have just over 1000, ands= thats Australia alone

[Olafson]

Yeh great. And I thought I could miss Gettysburg this year, cause Waterloo is much closer and is going to be awesome aswell. Wat is that nonsense?

[Duuring]

Well, on a more bright side, it will still be one of the largest re-enactments of the Napoleonic era - if not the biggest. Well worth a visit.

And if you cheat a little (like going with a group thats in), they can't really stop you. You have to bring your own food and powder, though...

Well we had a meeting on the weekend, the Aussie units are probally going to Gettysburg instead as the Blue&Grey offered them gear etc, so unless they change it many units wont go at all, a couple are going to Leipzig instead,spend their saved up money etc.

disappointing yes but it seems i wont be going too, unless i hear overwise ill go on with my plans of heading over to the UK in 2014 and just have a holiday.

some might go to see it as members of the public but not many

[Duuring]

Why are they going to Leipzig instead of Waterloo, as Leipzig actually has 5.100 re-enactors, while W'loo 2015 is estimated to have 7000 (in total).

So, just out of curiousity, why dd they decide to not-go en masse?

[zac]

To much politics, if 4000 is da limit well......no point,its till 2 years off, i dont really understand why Leipzig but that seems to be what their talking about, and Gettysburg just sounds better

[Duuring]

I hope they do understand it's 4000 military and not 4000 in total.

Going to Leipzig because Waterloo has a limit is rather silly - Though I can understand they are going to Gettysburg. If I had the money, so would I.
