[size=150:39ueevqz]O[/size]h Dan,
No matter what you keep saying, Silly War is NOT the end-all, be-all of reenacting. WWI is the "reenactor's Reenactment! You will never convince me that ACW reenactors have ANYTHING on Great War reenactors. EVER! I simply am not impressed by the so-called authentics in American Civil War reenacting, who do bizare things like piss on their buttons to try and be authentic.
You keep going on about 3 man units. Bravo Foxtrot Delta! All units start somewhere... stop being rude.
I do not need flags or whatever, nor do I need a transverse crest to be cool! Do you ever go out without your Centurion's get up? I've NEVER seen a photo of that. Would you be willing to take orders from someone else w/ more men? What if Matt Amt came out w/ 25 guys and you had 7, would you follow his orders? I bet not.
By forcibly trying to assimilate the Roman world, you turn off those who would be your friends. ;-( Every one of us has the right to our own beliefs and ideas. If you want to sway us, do so nicely. Like many of us have told you before, this is a HOBBY, if it ain't fun, why do it? Please don't make it unfun! And no, I won't be assimilated...
