Federals Wanted

[Terry Sorchy]

Gents,
If any out there are still contemplating the Out Post event in October we still have room in all four companys for men who are looking to put together in one event many things that in the past have been very fleeting.
I can promise you this.
You will look and feel like you are part of the 89th Illinois Infantry in the fall of 1862. Evolutions and mannerisms will suit the times.
First Person will be enforced. This will be treated on the federal side as an immersion event. You will actually feel like you are in that time period because NO modern talk is going to be allowed. If it must be done it you will be asked to leave the vicinity of others that may be into the period experience. To often we sit on battlefields and NO first person is done.
We have very tight and excellent company commanders and an outstanding wing commander in Chad Green.
Coley Adair and his critters will be our cavalry. (I dont need to say more there).
The fact of the matter is boys at many tacticals with a few exceptions the feds are always outnumbered. For some reason everyone wants to don the grey.
Lets keep this historically accurate to 1862 not 2007.
Thank You
Your Most Obedient Servant
Terry Sorchy

Re: Federals Wanted

Sir-

If you find someone that is coming to the event from the Northeast (I live in CT, but can drive easily to NY, PA, NJ) then please let me know. I'd love to go as either Federal or Confed. But I won't sign-up until I have secured a ride at least halfway there.

Thanks so much! -Johnny

Re: Federals Wanted

At this particular time, 5 weeks out, we are dead even in registration. Not one side has the advanatage over the other. When the Critters register, I am sure that will change in their favor. But both sides are forming well. So people still have the choice of going on either side.
With the way every one worked together at Chickamauga, I expect there will be some very well drilled companies and maneuvering going on at Outpost.

Get registered!!

Re: Federals Wanted

At this time, we still have plenty of room in ALL federal company's for more men. Both sides are even at the moment but we have to fill up four company's as compared to three, otherwise you have four very tiny company's.

I implore ALL out in cybor world to really reflect. If you have always wanted to do a large pickett post event, this is it. If you have always wanted to find out all aspects of a recon with action, this is it. If you just wanted to support your northern pards, this is it.

We could really use you to make this event a success. The WIG has done a great job preparing an outstanding event. Please join U.S.

Cheers

Re: Federals Wanted

Terry-

I'd love to come and join you, but 1036 miles by oneself is a bit of a drive and I'm not good at flying to an event since I've never had to get a musket on a plane- kinda late to do so anyway.

I'm still working the details out with someone else if it is feasible, but does anyone have the ability to meet halfway (New York, Penn- 5 hours south from me, Virginia 6 or more south of me) late-nite Thurs 25 OCT and leave ASAP Sunday, then please let me know.

Need to know something soon due to necessary contingency plans.

Thanks- Johnny

Re: Federals Wanted

Johnny,

I am sure that we ( I ) could bring a loaner musket & Bayonet if that is the only issue with the flight deal.

Re: Federals Wanted

Rod-

Mostly over the fact that I have never done it before (flying to an event), so I must admit the whole situation is new to me since I have never had to do so and MIGHT be cost-preventative compared to sharing gas money down.

Unfortunately, I (and others I know of that are definitely interested in future events) now live in the Northeast and quality events are rather far.

I'll research the matter on flights. I am calling Mr. Sorchy tonight and will see if it is more economical to fly to Nashville or share-a-ride down. I should know by the end of this business week.

Thank you for your help and concern, friend... I might just need that musket. ;)

Re: Federals Wanted

I'm with Johnny on this. I too live in New England and the process of getting down South is not an easy task. It'd be nice if Johnny and I could get some Yankee blood down there for October, but personally, it doesn't look good for me this year. W64 in New York is my goal for the time being and it seems much more viable in regards to travel. With that in mind, it might be nice to get a group of gents together in our surrounding areas, Johnny, for those authentic events which aren't northern like Out Post. That reminds me, PM me to talk about the possibility of forming a collective as well as some observations I made at Winchendon this past weekend. Believe me when I say you were glad not to have been there.

Re: Federals Wanted

Here we have people in the mid-Atlantic coordinating rides with Nutmeggers, New Yorkers, and Canadians, and a certain Cheesehead feller coordinating rides with Sorebacks for people in Baltimore. I'm loving this, and as a friendly reminder: I-81 does feed into I-40 quite nicely.

Re: Federals Wanted

Johnny & Bryan,

I cannot make this event this year because of a busy work schedule, however, I was at the first Out Post (TAG) event, and it was one of the best events I've ever been to.

If I were you guys, I would do whatever it took to attend, you will not regret it.

Trust me......

Flying is easy to do - you just need a rifle case. Other than that, its all economics. The economics of a plane ticket vs the economics of missing work/taking vacation days to drive. I live 2000 miles or more from everything so it is not an option for me to drive. A bunch of us are flying into Nashville. I arrive at midnight on Thursday night/Friday AM so if you need a ride, let Terry know.

Re: Federals Wanted

Terry.... You are going about the recruiting process all wrong. You need to appeal to the stomachs of the boys.

You should have offered free pie. :shades_sm

There are always the last moment types that will sign up near the lat cut off date. Relax mon!

Re: Federals Wanted

I'm pretty sure that Hoosiers can be lured with pie... specifically pecan pie. :D

[Charles Heath]

Re: Federals Wanted

Half a pie, half a pie onward!

[Terry Sorchy]

Re: Federals Wanted

Okay, Okay! I'll bring down pies:baring_te
If that works I'll do it!:wink_smil Let me know the flavors and how many.
Cheers:D
