Going to be pretty odd with Campaigners as the majority at an adjunct to a mainstream event. Maybe you can swing by Selma and find Amy.

Now that sight might be enough to pry me out of my office less than 10 days before the end of tax season

Just hearing the word Fort gets me excited. Here are some pics I found. Also interesting to see MI heavy artillery there.

This event still needs federals.

We have put together a Federal campaign company. If you are a campaigner and plan to register yourself, look for us when you get there. We may have a few spots if some don't make it.

If you prefer to do Confederate, they also need Confederate infantry. A company size (20-30) would be great.

You will not be disappointed in this event site.

It was a ok event. If somebody really worked at it, it would be a GREAT event.

I didn't get to meet you...or did I?

Were you in the Redoubt Sat, and Fed Sunday?

Yeah Rocky was there, he was the slack ass platoons early morning wake up call on Saturday. Had a chance to talk with him and some of his buddies Sunday and are all great guys. Look forward to seeing them at some campaigner only events where I actually do something.

Blakely was what it was. It was a mainstream event with campaigners tossed about, but I had a blast hanging out with folks and really doing nothing of any value or function. The fed company was great!
