Thanks all!
@Theo: It was the fourth time I acted as vexilarius.
I wouldn't want to be in the front rank as vexilarius, it's difficult to defend yourself while carying the standard. If you mean you'd position him farther back: the charging line was long single line so I was actually at the back of the formation 8)
Normally my brother acts as cornicen (with a pelt and a nice set of pteryges too) but he couldn't be here due to exams.
I'm looking forward to the event at Marle this weekend, I leave in a few hours. Formation drill with hundreds of legionarries will be some experience. I'll be back with my commilitones in the ranks for that one, and I look forward to it. The bearskin looks good but... the heat!
