Good show

Menon, you must be joking, at Caldiero - no fields to deploy - fighting street battles with parked cars, ok, it was no possible to do otherwise, but Plancenoit was one of the best big events I took place in the last 20 years.

Usually I hate big events, but this time it was cool, the first time ever I could hear a real thunder of muskets.

Also I have to compliment the unit, especially our new members and recruits, they did endure the harship in grand style, I was very pround to see our unit, despite of having a lot of in-experienced members to put up such a good show, we look quite good on the videos.

[> I was serious. Three years ago plancenoit was a very great event. 200 good reenactors that fought hardly. Ok, you're right. The huge number of reenactors nearly made the battle as a real one, maybe the best results I've never seen in terms of quantity. I say it again, the organisation of the battle was bad. Perhaps not the organisation, but the way of commanding the french troops. There was the number for making a little ordre mixte (if they wanted to re-create a tactical organisation) or a feu de battaillon, like the Allies had done. As it is sad in Italy, "mi � rimasto l'amaro in bocca", which means I was very disappointed. This is the way I see the event. You, Blanc, have been taking part of events since I wasn't born yet, and you have got much more experience than me. Probably your opinions is more realistic than mine. See you soon -- Manon, 18:41:17 07/04/05 Mon

[> Menon, The problem is when an event gets big, you cannot control the quality of the paritcipating groups any longer, so the bigger the worse, I cannot remember any big event that was great, big I mean 600 plus re - enactor. For that Plancenoit 2005 was the best big event I took part in all my hobby life. Let us see how we will do in Austerlitz. -- Blanc, 15:41:15 07/05/05 Tue
