Away this weekend playing artillery again

A quick post over lunch, then the afternoon off to drive up to Bridlington this afternoon - Dave is packing the car as I type, I hope. ACWS but as motel militia, staying in a B&B called "Bluebells". Dave tells me it has WIFI.

Last time we were up there we did Fredricksburg and Maryse Heights - this time it's the Union's turn to win, and it's Pickett's Charge. I am so glad I'm artillery not infantry... we get to do the massive Conferderate artillery barrage just before the charge, the one that was meant to get rid of the Union artillery, and appeared to do so. Our orders are to chuck as much powder down the field as we can, so let's see what we can do to that 4 shots a minute record!

The Washington Artillery having folded as a reenactment unit and turned into a social club, we're with the Rockbridge this time - and Dave is a Sergeant. I have sewn stripes onto his new grey jacket, and will sew more onto his Washington green one as he drives up.

The laptop is going with me, because I need to put the finishing touches to the article and story for Newt over this weekend.
