"National Roman Legion"

[Robert Vermaat]

Methinks he wants everyone under his Legio XIIII umbrella and standards.

Oh, that one again. It seems that our friend Marsh has outdone himself! First a website, then a forum, and now a website for the National Legion!
By the looks of it, most of this was addded in late May of this year.
Nice work, Marsh! :wink:

I recall that he wanted to do a similar thing for the Late Romans, when he was still living in Germany.
Legio XIIII never really existed as a group with members. It was always a volunteer force of US servicemen, trained, armoured and clothed by Dan from his Deepeeka stuff. Not like the groups that we are members of.
I recall that Dan attempted to create this 'national legion' when he was transferred from Europe back to the States a few years ago, with all the US legions falling under his command. Was there ever enough enthusiasm for this project to grow from mere theory into something practical?

Unfortunately, they essentially started from the top, with the organizer becoming the Colonel, the obligatory Regimental Color or Battle Flag is then created, and often no more than a handful of soldiers are available to march behind the Color.

True of course, but unfair in this case, because Dan never has headed a consistent group himself, and with this initiative he want everybody to become the rank and file, but himself of course as 'Colonel'! If such a 'National Legion' would be a real project, it would OF COURSE be the most logical thing to to start with the largest US legion (I must confess that I don't know which group that currently is) and brigade all the other groups under that one. Not start with a one-man legion.

The real Legio XIIII GMV:

Why does the National Legion Represent Legio XIIIII?

Which legion? hock: My guess is that this is a typo.... :wink:
