The event website states:
That is just under two weeks from today.
In an effort to get those men who are prone to vacillation to commit and send in their registrations, and to help those who are hard at work recruiting, we will extend the deadline to 31 January.
31 January will be the absolute deadline for having your registration postmarked, or in my 'in-box' for e-mailing.
For those e-mailing the information, send it to: [email] brian_hicks@usa.net [email]. Send paypal payment to: [email] brian_hicks@usa.net [email]
Those using postal service, make the check or money order out to: Brian Hicks.
Payment must accompany the registration forms.
Keep in mind, this event is a maneuver event. Each of the opposing forces will move between 12-16 miles in a period of about 36 hours.
A few of the things we are doing which we hope will make this event unique are:
1. The commanders have no prior knowledge of the terrain or routes we will be using prior to their arrival on site. (Total mileage to be covered by each column will be between 12 and 16 miles. No gravel roads, no dirt roads, and especially no paved roads).
2. The Commanders will have no knowledge on what their orders are until just before dawn on Saturday morning, when they will receive written orders from Corps HQ, along with period looking maps. At that time they will have to develop their movement plans, prepare the men for movement, and carry out their orders. They will receive additional written orders at one or two key junctures during the event, to keep everything going in the direction the event organizers envision.
Result: The opposing column will have no idea as to the starting point, route or orders of their enemy.
3. The opposing commanders have no prior knowledge of the true strength of their opposing column. The registration lists are broken down by Federal and Confederate. Each commander is receiving current rosters as they grow, but they have no idea how many people are signed up for the other side.
The web site is found here: http://www.intextlighting.com/Backwa...5/Welcome.html has the historical background on which we are basing this event, along with a brief narrative on the units we are using as our guiding impressions.
