And ey, the shelter worked, it blocked the rain, so there's that. 

Now I just need to clean and de-rust 5 guns. Hurrah. Which I can not do yet, because it still has not stopped raining.

Nah, I didn't even know that that was going on until I saw the pics on monday. We went to Wavre.

We go there every year, for some reason... It is one of the worst events :P

I guess it was alright. Nothing special or anything.

We will be at LBE, but Marc asked us to go Landwehr instead of French. Reason for that is quite simple... First of all, the French have one permanent camp with farb things like tents etc, while the Coalition does not, and 2nd of all there are far to few Coalition troops this time.

So yeh, we will be there as Landwehr, trying to do our best to drive the French back to Paris. Which will be difficult, considering that we are like 6 guys, while most french groups will be much larger... And as you know, engagement rules say that the smaller unit has to retreat. But I guess in the end it is better for us, at least we have someone to fight against.

Not all of us are coming though, my brother and some other guys do not have the time :/

I still marvel at the tactical genius of our commander to put us just in front of two cannons.

You will get used to it in due time.

In other news, I started cleaning up the guns, finished half of my gun (the one you used, riddlez) today, gonna finish the remaining part tomorrow. I am taking everythin apart, every single screw and small part, that is why it is taking so long. I am also making sure that no rust is left. I literally emptied 15 liters of boiling water in the barrel today, it should be 100% gunpowder free now...

We have to find some new techniques to clean the guns. Clearly we're doing something wrong, considering the ridicious amount of water we have to use which never would have been available for soldiers unless they were near a river.
