Message from CS Commander, S. Chris Anders:

Gentlemen,
 
It is a great honor to be asked to lead the States Right Forces at this year's Hope's Campaign.  For many years the hobby has not had a good annual tactical like we have had in years past.  Many of us fondly remember the Rouzerville events, the South Anna Tactical, the Allentown Tacticals and the more recent Recon series.
 
For years now we all have been working together to better follow the historical script at Battle Reenactments, and together we have been very successful.  However there is something missing- an event that is geared towards accurately using period tactics on a wide open playing field. 
 
This is where Hope's Campaign excels.
 
There are basic common sense rules and regulations that will be enforced, and  the event is open to both garrison and campaign troops, with both groups equally represented.
 
This event is not about your button holes, though I enjoy a good one as much as the next guy, but rather this is an event to get past the gear, to focus on function, MILITARY function.  Function not fashion- this is my goal, and working as a well oiled military machine will assure us of success.
 
To that end I will expend my energies.  You will find on this site several tutorials of expected knowledge for those CS units participating, as well as intense organization and teamwork that is the mark of any good Military Unit.
 
I work for you, to provide each of you with the best experience and opportunity to succeed.  Ninety percent of any leader's responsibility is to get the right folks, at the right place, at the right time, with the right gear, expectations and training so that they can excel.
 
This is my promise to you. In return I ask that each of you approach this worthy effort with an open mind, prepare and condition and communicate any questions or concerns you might have.
 
I can be reached at ltcolcsa@hotmail.com, and I look forward to leading you forward on this September Morn to achieve nothing less than total victory.
 
I Remain,
 
 
S. Chris Anders
