Hello! I'm relatively new here at the forums, (09/06/07), and am trying to get a feel for how all this newfangled technology works. ( I only recently upgraded from a crank telephone.....-of course, I'm kidding!.....) My area of historical interest is pretty wide, so about everything is fun to check out. Currently,I'm active in 18th&early 19th c. impressions, mostly civilian upper class/minor English aristo portrayals. Most recently tho, 1812 American artillery is taking a bigger share of activity. And I'm flirting with the idea of pre-WW1 Imperial German impression,--just something about pickelhauben I find attractive, I guess..... Anyway, I'm already having a great time just peeking in & looking about. Thanx for a great site, Sturmkatze!
