What winds me up most is the whole VIP thing. These people really haven't given a shit in the past but it'll be a big PR event for them. I can just imagine it now, David Cameron giving a speech as to how all the British soldiers are an inspiration that should be looked upon by today's younger generations. When to be perfectly frank the young generation generally knows sweet FA about Waterloo and the Napoleonic wars in general because emphasis is put too much on the world wars, the Romans and the Tudors in British schools

Very true, its sad how poorly educated people are becoming, I overheard a girl in like year 9 or 10 who thought The Netherlands was the land from Peter Pan....its funny but also, reaaaally worrying :/

Anglo centricity will be through the roof I expect next year from a few people, especially with Cornwell's upcoming book, which I intend to purchase in order to use it slowly as kindling and fuel for the fire!

Yeah, uneducated criminals in a uniform who are drunk 95% of the time, with snobby officers that don't give fucks about them, sure are a great inspiration to us all.  :P

The bit about snobby officers who don't give a fuck about the commoners sounds so much like politicians I'm surprised they've not registered to lead the armies haha

I dont get the battle at 8pm thing.
That sounds horrible. Who would ever do that?

And yeh, I am certain that there will be some stupid high ranking people/politicians/whatever present. That and the organisation being made by people who dont know shit about reenactment probably caused all that security bullshit. Maybe they are scared that someone wants to shoot a politician with a musket, or something.
Or load a cannon with grapeshot...

It is gonna take hours to get everyone on the battlefield, and it is gonna take hours to get everyone off the battlefield. Now, if the battle is at 8pm, that means that you have to eat dinner either really early or really late, and that after the battle you can basically go sleep. That sounds stupid.

About the powder, you never know. If the security really is as bad as it seams to be, I would not be surprised if there is only a minimum of powder available. I guess bringing your own powder, or making your own powder wont be allowed either.

TBH, I am quite scared that a lot of people won't be accepted to the event because of all that stupid background checks and what not. One wrong word in the formula, one thing they do not like and youre out. I am also scared that they will not allow younger people (and/or people who are new to the hobby) in, simply because they are not mature enough (or do not have the experience) and therefore can not be trusted. You know, by law people can only be trusted when they are atleast 18. So it might end up in the experienced guys being accepted and the young guys having to stay home, which is completely retarded.

Battles at 8pm? Sound like some sort of: Let's do it like the TV does:
From morning to Evening "Reallife" of the soldiers and at 8pm the "Blockbuster" Battle

And If the thing with the registrations is true, they won't get more people on the field than in Leipzig....

This is not looking good.
How did Gettysburg 150th(I think; late night = no maths+ no google) go. Did it have all this rubbish?

Nah man shit was a breez.

btw digging the Civil War Artillery crew on the site.

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

Don't blame the Napoleonic reenactment scene, the problem is Belgians, Belgians politicians are unable to manage even getting a government after a vote, last time it took them about a year.
