So why do you do what you do?

Quick question and i'll post this in both sections.

Why do you choose your chosen unit.

Family ties, elan, film and book influence.. what made you choose that regiment/battalion/squad.

I'll start off.

I served for three years in the British Army in the Staffordshire Regiment. when i got into the idea of re-enactment i went for my regiment.

They were Airborne in WWII, sheer chance so i thought I'd represnt my brother from the past.

I recruited a group to do this with me, after a while a lot of the guys who were from the South Yokshire area thought it might be cool to do their local unit , the Hallamshire battalion.

When I do Axis i do the 9th SS 'Hohenstaufen' as they faught against my regiment and also are one of the few SS units to have a very good track record when it comes to not doing any war crimes.

So its like this

Prmary impression: Staffords - my old regiment
Secondary impression: Hallamshire - local line infantry
Tertiary impresson - our old opponents.

I do German : mostly because I like the kit , uniforms etc. and I've got 1/4 german blood , my great great grandfather on my dad's side of the family came from germany.

My basic impression is 2nd Rangers beacuse its local and there always seems to be a greater axis count than allied count

I should be a USMC cook in India, but instead I have the impression of Tarowa.
