1. It has come to my attention that several things were left from the guidelines for the event, one of which was tentage. Several updates will be made to the website soon, including information on the Bully Buy from Dan Wambaugh, event site pictures (the same that can be seen on the AC) as well as updates to the guidelines.

For Confederates- I would highly suggest contacting several pards and possibly passing the hat and picking up a correctly made tent fly. Tim Ruyle (a member on this board) makes a Confederate Issue Tent fly that was documented to the AOT. While not specifically dealing with this campaign, it is an item proven to be used by the Army of Tennessee and issued by the Confederate Gov't.

For Federals- A shelter half is a requirement. Similar to Fort Granger. The federal camp site is very open, as the tree lines in the area have poison ivy covering the floor. I suggest everyone either contact some pards and pick up a fly, or purchase themselves a nice shelter half.

Is Tim activley making tent fly's? If not I would be interested in the material and construction methods to try and make one myself.

He makes them on a regular basis. I would suggest contacting Tim directly for any information.
