Nope it's ok to ask. Too few preregistrations. Especially for Russian numbers. It was looking only like 5-6 russians attending and being outgunned by the ...
Dave, It seems that that is the same issue facing Ostfront events here on the East Coast with Russian units. If it isn't Newville or Bedford which is invite ...
I would suggest working with the planning committee for the Yorkville, IL timeline event for next June to help get the early war Soviet impression off the...
How to get Russian reenactors to turn out for events is an interesting question. Some thoughts come to mind: 1. Location of the event needs to be a primary...
Hmmmm... OK I'm going to ruffle some feathers, but what the heck.;) Red Army Reenacting suffers more from two major issues: BACK YARDism and many do the...
Ok, I am going to counter ruffle a few feathers. This heat excuse is stretching a bit don't you think? It was a month before the event. Anyone who says that...
To be honest, I am unaware of any western front (from the Soviet perspective) events, anywhere near me. I am in south central PA, and am totally unaware of...
I totally agree with Bruce. Why not have events in a central State like PA or Ohio? South Central PA is only six hours away (I was just in Lancaster for...
I would take the time off to drive up to 10-hours one way (from here (Florida), that's North Carolina - Tennessee - Mississippi arc), but only if it was worth...
For a lot of reenactors that I know the heat is an issue. Living in Illinois, August is one of the hottest months and you do not have to be a meterologist to...
Dave, I think you answered yourself here..? Who would have seen that coming? 'Cause typically it ain't that nice. Yes I agree saying a month out from an ...
I'm currently in the early stages of getting two events planned for PA.? One is hopefully going to be this coming summer.? (suck it up, I've got a Engineer...
Tovarischi, A good suggestion. However, regardless of whether Yorkville, IL it is a LH or a tactical I fear that such a venture will be very diffcult if Mike...
Over in this neck of the steppes [Indiana area] I can think of only a few Eastern Front tacticals at the moment. We're an Indiana-based Russian unit, and, by...
Ok, then using the logic that August can be hot, we best lump in July. Oh yeah and June, June especially late has been brutal. Maybe even early September...
That's one of the many reason's I don't do Silly War. Dave... I'm just Say'n... Dave ... In a message dated 8/3/2007 8:33:30 A.M. Central Daylight Time, ...
In my case it is not just the drive for me, but my horse. Much over eight hours, and she gets antsy. It can take a good day to calm her back down, and get...
Well how about this location? We were tossing the idea around of an Eastern Front event but doubting the numbers on the Russian/Allies side so held off on the...
Rob; that area looks great. You could have some seriously nice cavalry movements, in support of the straight legs, and engage in both mounted, and dismounted...
You could also check the ER ward in the hospitals to check on their heat related cases. I know some of those have had Civil War reenactors with heat cases....
Tovarischi, Perhaps "everyone" should take a little time off from this subject. Lord knows we all have plenty of other things to do in this world. I know I do....
Looks like a great site Rob. Google earth puts it at 586 miles or 6 hours 19 minutes from my house in Windsor, Ontario...not too bad! Za Rodinu! ... Eastern ...
Well if we get enough interest maybe we can pull it off. Also working on a living history event for next year in Grafton, WV (met a city councilman and talked...
Comrades; I was talking today to the president of a local sportsmans association. They are considering an "open house" event on Sept 15, 2007. We discussed...
Passing it along to hopefully get someone to shoot at on the other side. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at ...
Hello all, I just wanted to add some things to the Eastern Front event availbility and location question/discussion. Over in this neck of the steppes [Indiana...
Mapquested your location Indianapolis to the place in WV that I put out earlier. This is what I got Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 23 minutes Total Est. Distance:...
Indiana and Kentucky locations are at the far side of what Minnesota units will probably be willing to drive right now. Northern Indiana down to about ...
