Al in all, the idea of a national legion is in and of itself a fair idea, but perhaps it should be "neutral".....
So, how about this:
- A North American Legion
- A unique scutum device that belongs to THAT organization
- No number
- Each participant can add his Legio's name and number to the tabula on the North American Legion shield.
- organize NAL contuberniums around existing clubs by era they portray
-- each club uses its preferred shield shape and size
- set up a rank structure similar to what Leg IX uses
-- "X" number of men in a chapter earns that chapter a Decanus, "X" number an Optio, "X" number a Centurio etc. ie: earn rank within the NAL
-- and that means Dan has to compete with the rest of us to earn that cresta.
- use a basic relatively common Latin command set
-- march, stop, face left/right, form up, dismisssed, throw pila... maybe a few more
- establish 501c3 status (duh!)
- set up an elected BOD (the SCA has a very successful example)
