Hi Hib! You were "others" :lol: You have explained about Legio IX before in a rather heated exchange in which I remember likening your lot to "a bikers club in drags (or segs?)" :wink: . Since then, I have learned a few things more and wouldn't put it that way again, but the fact remains that most groups are pretty allergic to "must do's and don'ts".
So yes, credit to Dan for his thoughts but no, I feel a totaly new legion with it's own standard should be a National legion. Anyway, there could be a European legion as well. X Gemina sprang to mind, but that one also excists in Holland (although they split up) and maybe elswere. Perhaps it is an idea to make the National Legion a Vexillatio, like the one guarding the Germania Inferior border after the Tenth was pulled out (Trajan times). That was composed of different units from different legions for a sole purpose, so there are similarities here in history.
