Duuring, the prussians will come to help you, somehow, maybe to late, but we will came. :D

Hopefully my study won't get in the way of Waterloo.  :-\

And theres gonna be so many people who are too old, too young, wrong hair, too big, too small, too farb, too stupid, too hardcore, too idiotic, too upper class, too lower class, too drunk, too underage drunk, Too my regiment wasn't at Waterloo, Too wrong era uniform...the list will go on

True.

Still, we are going to have a long debate about this, one day.

Also make sure you stand in the front row at Waterloo. I'm going to hit your musket with my sabre, and that's final.

A couple choice photos from my latest reenactment:

Down time in the barracks before the real event started!

My impression for most of the event. Running around as Battalion Adjutant getting shit done and being a bit of an Aide.

Formed up with a few other units, I'm sure you Napoleonic guys will recognize the flag from one of the other units.

My father laying out a plan and giving a rousing speech before the battle.

A bit of jaunt, chin up, and tha purtiest faec u er dun seen?

Yeah, he had around 35 guys around him listening in getting pumped. It's pretty amazing to hear an actual officer give a speech like that. He just got back from Atrashistan and I hope he never goes back. 4 tours is 4 too many, although I appreciate his sacrifices.

Ye its purrrrrrrrty alright.

Its amazing how your dad travelled all the way there and back and hes back there giving them boys a speech. 4 tours you say? that is a lot of tour, tell him thanks for his service as well. Will he be the Captain at Spotsy?

Well, combat tours. He's done non-hazard tours as well so it all equals a lot of time away from home and a hard life growing up as a military brat. I'll tell him.

Not sure if he's going to be a Captain at Spotsy, but he has the uniform if he needs to be one. We all like being privates anyways, haha.
