A few updates for those intending to attend this year's w.va. tactical at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV in three weeks.

As you are aware Oglebay is a privately run city park of 1,700 acres. It has a huge pool and water works park, a large extensive Zoo with Zebras etc., and many different restaurants and pubs, a golf course, and of course incredible vistas.

The weekend will have the tactical on Saturday and an early public battle on Sunday. All the amenities are right there at hand. The camping area is beautiful and looks like, well, a park. Parking is next to the camps and most attractions are within walking distance.

You must register within the next two weeks or at least advise major Dave Coleman you are coming by then. Artillery is of course welcome. Registration information can be found at www.facebook.com/CivilWarTactical

The length of the tactical will depend on weather. This weekend is set to be a vacation/reenactment fun type of event, but we must know at least a week before the event if you are coming due to the extensive logistics of putting this together. These events are built for the rank and file and civilians to have fun. There is nothing worse then going to the same o same o events year after year. Before you know it your going out of habit and then you slowly lose interest in the hobby. Rekindle that fun and excitement you first had when you got into reenacting, before politics, big hats, egos, and boredom robbed you of them. These events are for you.

Register ASAP.

Get registered for the next July event!

July 21-23, 2017
Oglebay State Park - Wheeling, WV
Non-Spectator Event

Hot on the heels go the Gettysburg Anniversary is the West Virginia-Style Tactical. This event was so well received last year that we decided to do it again! This time it will be held in West Virginia!

Hosted by Birney's Division (Union) and the ANV (Confederate), this event is open to all members of established organizations (proof of insurance required).

A "West Virginia" style tactical is a judged, unit-based, multi-layered series of problem solving scenarios in addition to engagements with enemy forces. CIVILIANS play a MAJOR part in these scenarios!
