Greetings!

[Gunner Godson]

Hello to one and all!

I celebrated my 27th birthday on Saturday and was awarded with enough back-pay (present money etc etc) to purchase the SoG starter box and damage bags. Yes I am now COMPLETELY engrossed with reading the rules and lavishing over the beautiful miniatures, and with a reenactment interest in Napoleonic artillery, especially as a member of the Rocket Corps, I am looking forward to some Battle of Copenhagen games

I live in the wonderful county of Hertfordshire (England) not far from Hertford itself.

So yeah, hi.

Hi Tom and welcome. Would love to see some pictures of your re-anactment group (Congreve rockets?)

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the welcome, and here is a direct link to my group's page: http://95thrifles.com/home.html

We are joined to the 95th Rifles, just look out for the RHA sections and there should be photos on there.



That is me in my KGL Foot Artillery uniform before I made my RHA kit (sadly no photos of me in that yet) but that is our standard show rocket setup. I am very interested in Congreve and his rockets, so have been trying to create a display for members of the public explaining his developments in an exciting way... well I'm trying anyway.

Great pictures Tom. We had a 95th Rifles group in Victoria (well two groups as they split) about ten years ago, not sure they are still going but they attended one of our meetings at the Australian Napoleonic Society (sadly now defunct) and also we're involved with a display we hosted at the Briars in Mornington, the home of the Balcombe family after they left St Helena where they resided during part of Napoleon's internment. There was also a 42nd highland group I think and a British Regiment who were there as well.

i take it your rockets are more accurate and less dangerous to the user than the originals?

[Berthier]

I guess you know of this book by Frank Winter 1990 The First Golden Age of Rocketry: Congreve and Hale Rockets of the Nineteenth Century?

[Gunner]

I'd hate to be one of the skirmishers in front of Mr. Congreve's contraptions.
