Given that 3 or 4 years down the line it's entirely possible (perhaps a little unlikely) that I could be portraying an English Knight, we'll rule that one out.

Keeping it within the Medieval era rather than going into the Dark Ages (I wouldn't mind portraying a Northumbrian during Oswald's reign) then perhaps a monastic knightly order would be cool to have as an impression.

why? the Dark Ages are cool, thats what i portray, a noble Anglo-Saxon during the 10th/11th century, its a very exciting era.

and we have the most reenactors at the biggest of events.

Just saw that on the Don Trioni page. Also what lead to the closure of the old thread?

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

Just to keep it within the usual range of 'Medieval' era. I figure the most popular dates used are 1066 to the late 1400s.

Like I said, it would be awesome to portray an early Northumbrian and kill some Mercian scum.

What does proper guys mean.. ?
There are quite a few groups portraying Prussian Line Infantry.

I doubt that anyone from Germany is going to Bourtange, right? I would like to go, its not too far, but I have no car or drivers license and it seems like Bourtange or the surrounding cities have no public transportation network.

Well, some of the prussian line infantrists are really good (Schlesische Grenadiere e.g.). But another part are groups of mainly 50+ guys, not very active and often  not accurate enough equipdement ;)

Some of my comrades will be in Bourtange but I can't go there
