[Greg Barnett]

Gentlemen,

These are them, for now.



Rules of Engagement


No parole for captured enemy and captives are open to looting. Captives will be treated with kindness only.

Wounded and dead
(The dead and wounded will remain where they fall until an actual and obvious safe time presents to retrieve them. If this does not present itself, then they may/ will become prisoners.)

We will be drawing rammers, and ramming paper. Please be aware of this.

There will be no hand-to-hand combat by participants, unless the organizers script it. You will be notified, by us, individually to fill specific roles, do not take these upon yourselves.

[Greg Barnett]

Gentlemen,
First off, thank you for your participation in the event. May we all have a great time and enjoy the experience. I hope that Sean and I have provided an experience equal to the quality of men participating.

I have also included a copy of the contribution form and flyer to the preservation donation recipient, The Legacy Parks Foundation. These folks are working to save the forts south of the river (Ft Higley, Ft Stanley and Fort Dickerson). The property where the battle of Armstrong hill occurred will also be included in this purchase and preservation.

A few other details to remember:

Registration will open after noon on Friday at the Barn. There may or may not be someone there before that time. We will all gather and remain at the barn until we moveout. This time is scheduled for 11 PM. Rations will be issued at the barn before moving out. At this point, it is on. We ask that everyone stay in first person. If you need to chat with your mate about something non-period, step away from others and keep it quiet. Let us be mindful of other folks experience.

After we get away from the barn, modern intrusions will be few. One that will be present are fences. The fences may not be changed in any way. This may or may not create movement difficulty, please be considerate of the property owner. Another modern intrusion will be a FM radio tower. This tower was the world's tallest structure in 1963 (1,752 feet). We could not pull it down for the weekend. The side that is most successful during the weekend will be allowed to run their colors up!!!.

At the end of the event on Sunday, there will be a presentation/ discussion by Wm "Dewey" Beard. Dewey is most knowledgeable in regard to the Knoxville Campaign and East Tennessee. Wendall Decker will be present during the weekend and there should be time on Sunday for an image.

Justin Morris will be present during the weekend as well. Kiev Thomason, I am sure, will have items for sale before and after the event.

I have also arranged a few items for give away. We will have a drawing for the items before we move out on Friday. Nothing major, but something you can use.

Today is the day for monies. Please pay by pay pal if you can. If you are having an issue you should contact Sean or me directly. If you do not, we will assume you are not coming. If something comes up just let us know. Communication is very good.

Thank you once again,

[BullCalf]

Now come on Greg, yer' a tuff' ole' boy, I think you can take that tower. Seriously I'm proud of you and Sean for all your hard work, I think you guys are going to have a bully of an event. See you in Corryton.

Mr. Barnett,
I thought I saw someone had posted the real rosters of our companies during this engagement and was wondering if we were supposed to pick an actual person to be, or if we were going to be assigned a certain impression, or if we are just supposed to be in generic first person and not a specific soldier?
thanks,

[Greg Barnett]

I would welcome all to look at the original rosters. It is not a requirement to pick a persona, but it would be a good idea to pick an individual and do a little research on the man, just to get you mind right for the weekend. It will give you some prospective on what these men had been through over a 6 month period of time. Having fought at Gettysburg, travel south (by train most of the way), engaging at Chickamauga and then on to Knoxville, trying to beat Burnside there.

Excellent question,

[Kiev Thomason]

[Coon Dawg]

Hey Joel!

One week away!!

You just want a swig of my O Be Joyful...I know you.

I have been sleeping on the ground every night just to get ready.

Ye Haw

[suspenderless pard]

Gents here is the weather forecast for this weekend. Looks like we will have some nice weather.

Friday-

Low of 45, High 72 Sunny

Saturday-

Low of 46, High 71 Partly Cloudy

Sunday-

Low of 51, High of 69, 60% chance of rain. Hopefully it will hold off untill the event is over.

We look forward to seeing everyone Friday. Have a safe trip.

[Greg Barnett]

Gents
The driveway, to the barn where parking and registration is located, will be flanked on each side by orange cones. Look for the orange cones. If you don't see orange cones, that ain't the driveway. ( Hopefully, Sean and I will remember to put out the orange cones.):eek:

Cheers

[suspenderless pard]

Gents,

My wife is making us a couple of signs (you would not be able to read it if I wrote it). There will be one on the highway where you turn on Circle Rd. There will be another on at registration in addition to the orange cones. See you Friday.:)

[Kiev Thomason]

When in doubt just look for a bunch of footprints next to a broken down train and follow them:wink_smil

[Pvt. Middleton]

When in doubt just look for a bunch of footprints next to a broken down train and follow them:wink_smil

Yes, in my opinion best alternative choice to choose from! See you all on Friday =)

[Greg Barnett]

Gents,
If anyone has cartridges made up and properly packaged and wants to sell them, please bring them out. I know that there will be a demand for such.
Cheers

[Chad Wrinn]

I can make a couple if ye need me too.

[suspenderless pard]

Gents,

In case of emergency, people can call the land owner. His name is Smiley Clapp and his phone# is 865-621-2978. See everyone Friday.

[6Pdr]

Myself and Clintus will be there Friday morning.

[ewtaylor]

Gents,

His name is Smiley Clapp

That was my PORN name years ago.

[Thomas Alleman]

So we are moving out at 11pm, on friday? Anything planned in the time in between, will Wendel be there friday?

[trippcor]

Oh if you are volunteering I am sure your Officers and NCOs can find work for you to do. Would not want anyone to get board. There is always work to be done. :)

[Kiev Thomason]

That was my PORN name years ago.

Funny...I can think of a game that one of my friends(yeah I got friends :baring_te) came up and told me about. You take the name of the first pet you can think of that you had growing ups name and then the name of the street you lived on when you were a kid add them together and ya get your Porn star name. It's pretty funny to do. Mine was Smokey Stilesboro.

[Kiev Thomason]

So we are moving out at 11pm, on friday? Anything planned in the time in between, will Wendel be there friday?

Mr Decker is gonna be there. I spoke with him last week.

I don't know the fella, but judge he must be O.K. if he's hosting an event for us. Having no reason to think poorly of him, I am much relieved that I'm not the only one who got a chuckle out of that name. :D

[6Pdr]

Hi, I am "Boots Dexter"..........

[Greg Barnett]

Smiley Clapp is one of the best fellers one will ever meet.

My name, by the way is "Stump Deering".

Also, I will have my celly phone on me tomorrow if needed, one may phone me. 865-567-2356. Please only call if you really need something. No weather updates will be given:wink_smil

I believe Wendell will be around, Kiev will have his store open and we are having a push-up contest at 2 and 4 pm!!!

Remember the raffle items as well. There are a few items that will be drawn for that a ticket comes with registration.

Thanks to all,

[FloridaConscript]

anyone know what Wendells rates are these days?

[joey12thga]

I wish you fellows the best and hope you have a great time. Wish I could be there with ya.

BTW my name would be Rocky Great North.

[Greg Barnett]

anyone know what Wendells rates are these days?

Bryant,
Last season prices were: 50 for 1/2 plate. I am unsure of 1/4 plate.

[Pvt. Middleton]

Yes, I'm hoping to catch Wendell sometime this weekend myself. Really need to get a single photo taken.

I shall see all of you tomorrow afternoon! =)

[Chad Wrinn]

The 1/4 plate run about 30 if I recall correctly
