[brandini555]

that looks awesome,how old do you have to be to be in the infantry? the artillery?

[winters1234567890]

14 years old to fire a weapon, 12 to take the field as runner/drummer

[brandini555]

how about artillery?

[winters1234567890]

its the same age requirements

[brandini555]

ah,i would like to be in the infantry,or be a skirmisher,ill be in arty if i cant do those

[winters1234567890]

skrimisher(dismounts) is ok, never tried it and dont relay wonna, but to each there own ^^

[brandini555]

cool, i don't want to really be in the cavalry,i just figured if i was a skirmisher,i might get a scoped musket,those are SIIICK!

[winters1234567890]

to use that ur gonna have to join the berdans in the union army or a sharp shooter company.

the berdans are expensive uniforms and stuff but cool, and they never die when we(im a confederate reenacter) shoot at them.

[brandini555]

when i went to the Fresno reenactment in this movie (during the day) i saw some recruiters fro a sharpshooter company, guess that's where i should go

[winters1234567890]

yeah i was in this reenactment( the company on confederate side that looked like clowns:P) if you talked to the guys for the union they were wearing green uniforms there the berdans, very expensive. if you go confederate its the south Carolina sharp shooters. gogo confederate :P

[brandini555]

lol

i figured the green uniformed people (i call them greencoats) were skirmishers

[brandini555]

i would also hope that if i was in the cavalry id get a sharps rifle,those are cool

[winters1234567890]

cool, yes... expensive, hell yes lol

cavalry is eh, they bore me :P and the cavalry cant go to every event, due to small field/property/ etc.

your best options is infantry/dismounts/sharp shooter. if you go dismount/sharp shooter you can use sharps rifle, that is if u can afford one :P

[brandini555]

soooo,how much is a sharps rifle? :P

[winters1234567890]

but IMO infantry is better, i'm in it and its awsome ^^

[brandini555]

i would like to be in artillery to do stuff like this

[blahuguh]

the 3rd US was on the far left side. you can barely see me behind the wheel!
