A quiet Sunday here in the Duchy with some time to play at my hobby before getting back to work om my thesis. Hard to believe a first draft is due in two weeks.
Yesterday, I drove out to Carlisle, PA, to the Army Heritage and Education Center (AHEC) for a Re-enactor Recruitment Day. There were quite a few units and periods represented. I went at the behest of my American Civil War group, the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.
Free piece of hardtack with every enlistment...
There were some Green Jackets and some Crapauds there are well looking for new recruits
The "great" Lynn Otto, and his Pennsylvania Regiment from the FIW was there. With some lovely John Jenkins Design figures holding down a map...
Veteran re-enactor and wargamer Tom Flynn on the left and a buddy from Lee's Company of Rangers, also an FIW unit. The drum belongs to a Highland Grenadier company that does FIW and AWI
Various other ACW units, in this case, the 93rd Pennsylvania and the 1st Minnesota
Some of the ladies from the 39th New York (Garibaldi Guard) and their presentation
Finally, some young folks doing "Modern" impressions...pretty depressing to think I was issued and wore some of the kit they were displaying and wearing...
There was quite a diverse collection of periods. And this was the first time since COVID they have held this event. I enjoyed it immensely, even if I did not manage to convince anyone to sign up and enjoy a piece of hardtack.
On the wargame front, things are slowly moving along with my Mongols for ADLG. I managed a game two weeks ago against Bruce P. and his Order of St. John Army. That was a close game he managed to squeak out a very narrow victory on points alone. But I'll leave off pictures for another time.
Finally, Happy St. David's Day to all the Taffys out there in Blog-Land! Have a leek for me. My last batch of potato and leek soup was quite good actually...time to get some chowder on for lunch.
