Rest In Peace Harry

Sad to hear another friend has passed away. Many good times and memories with Harry at Perryopolis and the other re-enactments we attended. Until we meet again Brother.

All participants are advised to be prepared to fight on the company level on at least 2 fronts in all engagements as well as the fact that battlefields are indeed 3 dimensional.
All battle scenarios based on 1861 impression and thought, as in the Saturday before Manassas, the chance encounter of troops that never made the history books.
