It's 25th Michigan. Or nothing. THE 25TH OR DEATH!

[DeoVindice61]

Too lazy to wiki. Did the 25th fought at Bentonville?

[Duuring]

Only if that was in the Carolinas campaign. *looks it up* OH SHIT IT WAS! Just not sure if the 25th was in that specific battle.

How much would a Line Infantry Kit cost (acw era)?

[Duuring]

If you get from a good (Authentic Campaigner approved) sutler - easily 1300-1400 euros. Excluding backpack and gun.

Advice: don't say line infantry. You gonna get laughed at. Just say infantry

TBH, even if its 1.4k it would be worth it. It is not like I would only wear it once in my life.

[Duuring]

Da German Mess.

Boys, I need more money.

[Olafson]

I can lend you some! But obviously you will have to be my slave then.
I am rather interested in doing an ACW impression. I don't know why. Just.. Would be nice.

22nd March sounds fine, I am sure that if I start looking early enough I can get some rather cheap flights.


@Duuring
Why 25th Michigan btw? Any special reason for that?

[Duuring]

I'm also interested in doing ACW. But also Soviet. And my cavalry impression is half-finished. And I kinda would like to do Nap infantry as well for minor events. Sigh...

Moneeeeeyyyyyyy....

Had a Dutch company in it.
