I think they are bashful Shiloh! ;D Shoot we have 20 some Rebs in Mosby's Raiders and all of them are puterized; yet, look at the posts. Might be they work for a living and don't have as much time to get on the puter as I do!

Well, I've done both and right now I prefer blue. I like the more uniform regimentation of the US troops. I think if I were mounted I'd like CS better.

Yep Steve, you and I are both, ahem; Home on the range!! ;D Shiloh I picked Mosby's Raiders beause you can get away with murder. Historically they were treated like "favorite sons" whereever they camped and had such support from the community they seemed to have wanted for very little. The historic structure would resemble Al Qaeda more than anything else I can think of, possibly Delta Force.

Well, I'll probably get shot for this, but anyway....
I was born and raised (most of the time) in W.Va. My momma divorced Bill Nelson, (my father) becuase he brought her home a couple of gifts from some of the "girls around town" Little medical problems that she didn't much appreciate. Thank God for penicillion.
She re-married when I was five. Dad Wilson adopted me when I was 14. After the court hearing, in the car on the way home, dad laughingly told mom, "Well, at least we didn't have to change his first name!" Mom asked what he meant, and he told her that I was named after my G-G-G-Grandfather. His name?
Maj. Gen. James Harrison Wilson.
I've never bothered to try and verify the story, but I get a kick out of it when I'm re-enacting as a Reb.

You ought to research that & verify it through Ancestry .com's "world tree." That'd be cool. My only direct relative of which I'm aware in that conflict was my Gr-gr-grandfather Richard Clay Gibbs. He was a private in the 7th TN infantry in the Army of Northern VA. He served from start to finish with a 3 month leave granted in later '62-early '63 for medical convalescence, but then returned to duty until the end. He was captured at Petersburg and imprisoned ultimately at Point Lookout, MD where he eventually took the Oath of Allegience. My concesion to his fine service is to never live through a reenactment as a Yankee.
