Apparently they are sappeurs. They have all kind of weird weaponry, percussion rifles, blunberbuss, pistols etc, and no real uniformity.

But they guys itself are nice, just their presenation is bad. :P

Yeah I haven't spoken to many of them or been in the same events as them, I expect they're great people, I haven't met a French reenactor in the UK who isn't :)

I've heard of these guys.

The thing is, in most of Latin America, the use and discharge of weapons for demonstration is banned, even old musket repros. Therefore, reenactment never set foot in most of these countries. Out of all South America, Argentina is the only country that has law-approved reenactments, while Chilean reenactors are limited to just wearing uniforms (SS Fallschirmjäger and a few rev war. lol.)

There are other countries, (I think Mexico's one of them), which prohibit all use of military uniforms for civilian use. Even those from the XIX century. Therefore, all sorts of reenactment are prohibited by law, except for the military (which has no interest in it anyway).

So yeah, don't expect any accurate reenactment impressions in Latin America. We argies barely managed to get something going, and at least we manage to look decent enough.

Oh, and 5 of us got into Waterloo 2015. Yay.-

How do you know? Did you get a mail saying that you got approved?

The commander of the Spanish 51e is on of the organizers of Waterloo 2015. He signed us up with his unit, and sent us a confirmation mail himself. As far as I know, everyone in his unit got in, as privilege for being a "long time veteran" of Waterloo events.

And yes, I am included in those 5.

That's not how it works. Every participant had to sign up himself, and unless that commander knows a shitton of personal information about you, he can't make 5 different personal accounts.
