The troops apparently threw the cheese at each other before going into battle. We did the same, though I tried some and thought it was quite good.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-73853687781339708262015-01-14T10:52:05.001-08:002015-01-14T10:52:05.001-08:00Limes.

However, that last 2006 reenactment was one where I huddled against a rail fence the first night, under an improvised tent made off a rubberized blanket and a canvas shelter half, and got absolutely soaked, then marched all next day in cold wet clothes. It totally sucked. I was more comfortable in the real army and they paid me to do it.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-71480420717763904272015-01-14T04:17:31.155-08:002015-01-14T04:17:31.155-08:00Pat, if hardtack will benefit your 1812 reenacting...Pat, if hardtack will benefit your 1812 reenacting (I am sure the British Army had their own version) then I'll happily give it to you.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-33359162250079384292015-01-14T03:16:26.781-08:002015-01-14T03:16:26.781-08:00And here I am just starting re-enacting. 1812 and ...And here I am just starting re-enacting. 1812 and British though, but I would happily pass off hard tack as supplies liberated from the Yankee opposition.

I know look back at my ECW re-enactment days with fondness, but a certain smug comfort that I can stay in the warm and dry/cool and shade to refight battles rather than suffering the elements (and authenti-food, dried fish in our case....bleurgg!!).Springinsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088330681756351208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-77928712595870588252015-01-13T23:03:50.307-08:002015-01-13T23:03:50.307-08:00I think I will pass on this one thanks.
