Let's discuss: Farbism!

[Mr T]

Dunno about ACW and know limited stuff about Napoleonics over there, in the UK most Napoleonic groups have depot gear they lend to new members for events until they get their own, dun't know how it works in US. Better asking the US FSE reenactors about ACW.

For Napoleonics in US, theres these units:

Yeah good question, how do you guys do it in the US. Do you have depot gear that people can lend while they get their own stuff?

[DeoVindice61]

Depends units you join. Farby it get. More depot gears it has. Kentucky is in the heart of reenacting. Plenty of western front to do.

Nobody going to expect you to have a rifle. Maybe a uniform but gears and rifle are easy to loan.

The plate will be replaced with a proper Voltigeur plate. That's just a preview from the Indian manufacturer,

I'll just leave this here

I... I... That's fucking hilarious though.

[Olafson]

Shako looks alright to me?

[Duuring]

I don't see why you would replace the shakoplate. If anything you should take off the yellow braid which was not worn in 1815.

You found Millander! Huehuehue

[Olafson]

What regiment is this? Is it one of the New York Scottish regiments? And Whats wrong?

[DeoVindice61]

they never wore kilts in battle and the scottish tams lasted very shortly, it was not too long to see them in standard federal uniform by late '61.

[Olafson]

I see.
