John and Julie Nuzzo were nice enough to lend me and Jay some cool in-period costumes to participate in the Battle of Monmouth reenactment this year! Julie ("Jules") and John were looking rather dapper with their muskets ready, all lined up in Heards Brigade (NJ militia).  Little did me and Jay know that our role in this whole battle were to be the dreaded idle villagers.. the bane of anyone who's every played Age of Empires.  I'd have wiped my laptop out to play a game in the middle of camp but nothing 'out of period' was even allowed on the premesis!

ta-da! Idle villager at a war reenactment.  what.. that's in period no?

This villager is still chilling at the spawning point. Quick! Give him a task!

Yep that's us. The pink team. That's what happens when you're the last to join the LAN game.
