Welcome Andrew!

Do you live in Virginia? I spent a year there recently and loved it.

Hello, Tyrannis22. Welcome to the website.

My understanding is that a "progressive" reenactor is one who is sort of middle-of-the-road, i.e., more authentic than a "f arb" but not quite so immersed in it as a "hardcore." Is that basically how you view yourself when you say you're a progressive?
