Vincenzo I REALLY  would like to join your group, I've been interested in reenactment since the age of 11, but I'm 15 yet, so I can't do that now, I'm just walking around and doing something like peaceful reenacting wearing historical clothes during a historical feast in my town  :-\  - but I really would like to visit your group when I'm 18.

You could always go as a drummer or use a dummie. If you really want to do it, just go for it. At least that's what I did.

So I should tell my parents "Hey mom, let's drive to the Netherlands, meet people you don't know and let me do Reenacting there, they aren't aiming at me, they are just shooting into the air!" - I don't have problems with that, but I think my parents would have lol  ::)

Most of the events are going to be in Germany.

And yeah, my parents were sceptical too, but they came along with me (as spectators) and when the met the other people in my unit and found out that they were nice people, they were okay with it.

But of course, it remains your decision.....

Just a thought, it might be an idea to spend a season developing the unit, maybe doing some living history displays and making contacts with other groups. Full reenactments needs seasoned veterans to help drill and look after the new fish, and considering most seasoned reenactors are in units already if you spend some time developing the skills and fully learning all the drills inside and out by next season you'll be as good as any units out there!

Which is exactly what we are going to do.

Were building up interests, getting some stuff together, visiting an event perhaps as spectator, getting involved with the German groups and so on.


Ted you can participate with a dummy, this is not a big issue.
As for your parents, why don't they visit as spectator a local event with you..

We will buy a regimental drum, so if you want to become a drummer boy, you can! :)

I highly recommend making an "alliance" or some sorts of connection with the German Mess. They can be become your mentor and show you the rope in person. I would love to come and help you all but alas, there's a giant ocean blocking me way, i only can help with the authenticity and uniforms such. But definitely try make some connection with the German mess. These guys are great.

Can confirm the German Mess are the best bet, my 19th lads went on an event run by them and they have only good things to say! Very friendly and they've a reputation for helping out other units with start-up etc.

We have not yet selected a unit or state. yet... good suggestions are welcome!

And I can assure you no donation money is used for this. donations are not enough to cover for game making costs and we are putting our own money into the development.

Here are two AoP suggestions

29th New York "1st German Infantry"
45th New York "5th German Rifles"
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.
