Greek reenactors needed in Atlanta, GA

[Matthew Amt]

Khairete!

I'm passing along a plea for help that I received from a lady in Atlanta, Georgia. Are there any hoplite reenactor types who live in that general area, or are willing to travel to help her out? If so, please contact her directly.

Thanks very much!

Matthew

Gotta love the title of that book!

Matt you can tell the lady that she can get the commands in Greek from the threads here.
As for drilling "little horros" any experienced NCO can do wonders with close order drill.

Kind regards

I have contacted the lady, since we Thespians ask not how far it is, only, "Are we there yet? Can we start fighting now? Can I be Promakhos?"
