Post by: DeoVindice61 on November 09, 2013, 03:46:07 pm: Well let me know, I'm going to Red River as Federal. Gonna be miserable and epic. I've been told were doing 5-7 miles marching per day and battling.

May go with bedroll instead of knapsack. And love how they will issue rations

Post by: Millander on November 12, 2013, 03:03:04 am: Im going a far smaller (and less expensive) march down in so-Cal of the California Column. Going to clock a good 40 miles over 5 days.

New Jersey, the problem would mostly be getting the money for the plane ticket. Also reading the site they only accept enlistments of four? So I would also need to find four people who would also come with me?

Post by: DeoVindice61 on February 06, 2014, 04:39:54 am: Yep thats right, the rations are being issued in amount of 4 man size. So basically you need to form a mess then register.
