Silent Machines - Mosby Country, Virginia - July 10-12, 2020 - Mess No. 1 is raising a company for this one. The Liberty Rifles are hosting this full regimental scale, authentic event. We’ll be portraying the 12th United States Infantry as they and the 5th Corps moved north and tried to make sense of their clashes with Rebels in and around Fauquier County, Virginia in June 1863. As always, we’ll be on the original ground, recreating the regiment to scale, and obsessing over the details, taking no shortcuts, and making no excuses. Web Site & GuidelinesIRegister
