Salvete!
Well, I don't know if there is something building up on the roman side. But you seem to be friends enough to cooperate, any way, and there is still time until 2009, right?
I think, June 2007 is realistic for pushing harder. Then there will be some experience between Germanics and Romans, there will have happened some meetinges between organizers and reenactors, worked out some alternative sketches of the show. And then, in the end of June there will be the great start-off.
On the Germanic side there is still too much virtual cooperation and too little real life, but the first handful of dates, private as well as events, is clear now, before Kalkriese 2007, so that we will know what we can offer and what not. And on my homeside, the afore mentioned Alamannic groups, there is some progress, as two of the groups have already found Roman partner groups with whom they will share a number of events. This will be the only way of reenacting a great battle in a safe but impressive manner: I will not stand against some strangers in Roman uniforms, but I will know the group opposite mine by heart. With these friends I can do stunts that would be suicide in a freefight.
And that is a very fine progress that makes me happy, be there a Varrian Battle or not. Before 2009 I will have fought a couple of battles, or have been arrested by Beneficarii for rioting in a Taberna, or whatsoever, and it will always become better and a lot of fun.
If I am allowed to make some humble proposals to you Romans: if you have some Barbarians nearby who do not make you puke by their "conanesse": find yourselves a partner group ! And don't stop talking about 2009, within half a year there comes the moment when someone asks: who do you know. So: get to know each other!
Alexi,
I will write to you an email tomorrow, now I have to sleep.
Valete commilitones!
