Volodymyr,
Comrade, you raise very valid points. However, I still stand by my earlier statements, which did not include that someone should not do partizan, nor did I say that they did not have a place, properly done, at reenactments. I for one would welcome them, if properly done, at the event we sponsor. The one scenario, that at least I think would be fun, is to have them at an Eastern Front event, but only they know which side they are going to align themselves with. At the beginning of the event they could make a coin toss/die roll. One result would have them fighting to help us drive the fascists out of the Motherland, the other would find them fighting as anti-Communist nationalists. They would take their place at a point neutral to both sides, and neither side would know their alignment for the weekend until that first encounter. ;D
Also, please do not think my statements were a slam on Baiyodya. Until someone here decided to harass him here outside of the "Heated Discussions" area, and he experienced some financial difficulties, he was a member of my unit, and had attended one event with us. He has not responded to any of my e-mails since his decision to quit, and his last e-mail to me indicating his decision. Too bad, as he really seemed to enjoy himself at his first event by all the accounts I heard.

LOL I've just been lurking in the shadows as of late. Sorry I didnt get back at you sooner Yuri, I've been looking for another apartment and doing alot of cleaning and work at my Grandads. 
I love the ideas you all have of how to deploy partisans logistically and in an accurate way. As I have a majority of the clothing, and do not plan on selling my gorgeous 91/30 I believe it would be a great impression to do. Plus like said before, if any group needed to fill their ranks there is always loaner gear.
