I will be changing the scoring system for Custer ... In the past I had put an arbitrary points count on each objective .. 10, 20, 25, 40, etc. This next time,...
Alan, I think the simplification of the points is a good idea. I am interested to try out the timed objectives also. Jon ... I will be changing the scoring...
As long as everyone on both sides "plays nice" and no one picks up items that should be left alone, it will make it interesting. I am not sure how many...
We will have 3-6 vets on hand for use as umpires. One of the umpire functions is to check all VOs as they are moved around .. anything being moved outside of...

I've posted the final rules for Stille Nacht. The most significant changes are: Each objective is worth one point, not an arbitrary number of points. That...
Allen are we going to have the winter tactical at your place next month if so what are the dates i have gotten nothing yet from the 39th guards Perry ( the...
This will be posted on the MidwestOstfront discussion group... the WInter training event (this is the event where we play tested the first RETO rules) is going...
Perry, The 39th Guards is in the process of reassembling for 2008 and has asked for input from the "old" members. Check the postings at the 39th Guards yahoo...
Dan, the Ostfront Training event is Feb 15-17. Alfons ... has asked for input from the "old" members. Check the postings at the 39th Guards yahoo group or...
Gentlemen, From this British Para private's prospective, Awesome Event! The fun and comradeship of this years RETO was top notch. Alan did a great job in...
Fellows, A squad from my unit is planning to attend the event this March for the first time. We will have at least six young guys, lean and mean, from the 29th...
RETO Rules update!! Here are a couple of changes that I believe will upgrade the event.. 1) NO TACTICAL OBJECTIVES (TO) can be moved in the first 30 minutes of...
Can't agree on the messenger not being able to fire back. Like Captain Mal says, "if someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back!" He carries...
Hmmm... interesting. I think you should allow them (messangers) to fire their weapon in self defence. But I agree that their objective should be to be ...
The problem with allowing the messenger to fire back is... this allows for John Wayne snipers and people to go out on their own. This goes against one of the...
Maybe the messengers can only fire if fired upon first? That gives them a chance but derails the "lone wolfs" and "snipers". **************Ideas to please...
How do you distinguish between a messenger and a runner? That is, if I see a lone German do I assume that he is one or the other? What stops a person from...
Snipers... I'd say they only should be allowed if people start honoring covering and suppressing fires. One way to deal with a sniper (if you can't see him) is...

Agreed, snipers don't work well at all in most situations. We tried that with the Graef system at Rensselaer, but it was too hard to control, and often people...
Indeed, enemy's an enemy when you're out in the field! Or better yet: each side that regularly plays together (or hell, the whole HRS) should standardize on a...
The main problem with Snipers in Reenacting, is it's hard to know when you are under fire by them and counteract them -- anti- sniper operations. Per example.....
Please stop the discussion on Snipers in RETO ... It won't happen in one of my RETO events. As Pieter pointed out, RETO has a basic moral factor included ......
Dave, I agree. It would be really hard to call out shots from cover and or concealment without giving up ones position. Double that for distance that a real...
Group, I think we need to concentrate on the basic rules of engagement before we start adding more to the mix at an event. We all had to tolerate the never...
Dear Dan, As a member of the 9th Para, I'm proud of the lads in my unit, hits are not a commodity we horde, they are taken with pride and given when deserved,...
Alan, I'm happy to hear the roll down the hill was appreciated since it was me making that tumble. It left a few bruises but helped dirty up my white camo. One...
