How you guys determine who is wounded or die?

And what you fire? i hope real bullets <3

Post by: DeoVindice61 on March 20, 2014, 05:42:27 am
Yes so far i have murdered 60 guys. Cant wait for another year of legal murdering.

We determine death by fatigue, ammo, scenario based, or by request.

Like our captain tells us to start taking heavy hits. we die.

Im out of ammo,  i die.

Im tired and bored, im gonna die under that shade of tree with bunch of naked native women. Yes that seems to be spot to die.

Only at people who ask those questions. Others who also qualify are certain to ask "Is that a real fire", "Do you eat that", "Do you sleep out here", and "Aren't you hot in that wool uniform".

For all the reenacting I do there isn't much videos out there of what I've done or have me in them. I'm a fleeting glimpse, just like Munk.

Reminds me of the dog the people opposite to us in the bivouac had at Leipzig. Enormous shepherd dog called Ares. Big monster. Funny enough, it was very friendly to all of us, yet when someone not from our or their group passed by, he'd start barking and jumping up right away.  :P

Gutted about the Lord mayors one. I was just out of shot, 2 seconds earlier I'd have been in that one!
This is one from my group, a recruitment video that we did 2 years ago. I'm the frog that gets headshot at the end

one of my most memorable events, mainly because it was the event I broke my nose at whilst dying. watch towards the end and you see someone get smacked in the face by a water canteen, that's me

And finally this one. Two from theBicentennial of the battle of Salamanca. Forming ad moving in a coherent square, not an easy thing to do, but we made it look easy

It was more meant like 'don't give me links to cheaper stuff'  :P I don't do 'budget shopping'. At least, I don't intend too.

Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: DeoVindice61 on May 01, 2014, 12:58:33 am
When that happens, Sgt get promoted then.

Officers do take hit in battle too, they're rarely shown but it happens often. At GAC, my captain collasped due to heatstroke, First Sergeant took over the company and led us through the Wheatfield.

Historically, after the battle, company will have election to get a new captain. During the battle, Jr officer or senior NCO takes over.

21e only fixes bayonets at events on the continent, unless theres a genuine fear for safety such as in a huge battle like Leipzig, I think we un fixed bayonets after a while if memory serves. We don't fix bayonets in the UK usually except on a few times, some British units fix bayonets sometimes. I think as long as you're sensible with a bayonet and know to always raise the musket as you close in then its fine. Always good to keep safety in mind at all times, particularly cos it adds weight to the musket, so for example at Leipzig people were furious because they were marching ages with backpacks and bayonets fixed.

I'd fi bayonet when on guard duty or patrolling about camp, looks fookin' sexeh.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Olafson on July 28, 2014, 03:23:40 pm
Bayonets are a problem in melee, but they are by far not as big of a problem as someone reloading with ramrods. I really don't want to imagine what happens if someone shoots this thing and it ends up flying straight at someone else. Chances that it will kill someone if it hits the right spot are extremely high.

Unless you stab with your bayonet, the worst thing that can happen is someone loosing an eye or some smaller wounds from poking. (Both, especially first is still really bad)
In melee, most of the time people just push with their muskets, no one is really stabbing.
Obviously someone can forget about safety and accidentally stab someone else in the belly.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is, that I feel more uncomfortable if there is a group using ramrods during the battle, than if there is a group with bayonets. It is also much easier to avoid the groups with bayonets. When they charge in, you retreat, and you just do not charge them yourself. But there is nothing you can do about a ramrod flying straight for your head.

Bayonets can have quite a pointy end to them yes...

And I still think their very dangerous, In leipzig last year someone tripped and let his musket drop, during a retreat, a guy almost walked straight into it as it fell his direction.

There is no need for pointy things on the field in my opinion.

Yeah, I did  nearer to the last shot, but with a little puff like that, it didnt matter too much.

Post by: joer5835 on August 24, 2014, 11:19:12 pm
Why did nobody in my unit think of that, when I shot for the first time they gave me a full charge and I was nearly blown back 2 meters because I didn't know what to expect.

I've definitely improved since that fatefull moment 4 months ago.

I was firing for the hell of it, im not part of any reanactment regiment, and like i said before, and the later shots with full powder, I had the stock on my shoulder.

One thing I see a lot of with people firing is them leaning back as well. For god sake lean into the shot! That way if it does recoil a lot you won't go flying as you're braced for it rather than inviting a kick in the shoulders and a flight backwards!
What's everyone's thoughts on flash guards? We don't to use them as they look stupid. It's a simple case of angle your lock so the person stood next to you doesn't get their face melted off! It happened to me at hoogstraten, the guy next to me didn't angle and burnt my face. Nothing too bad though! But continued hits bloody hurts (nearly floored someone who didn't do it at all during Waterloo 196 in 2011)
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Vincenzo on August 25, 2014, 02:25:20 pm
Just use flashguards, It's in the rules of most events and in our dutch law even.

They have practical use and are more safe, even safer than angling your guns, because as you said, not everyone always does it.

I think Duuring will do that soon too. I accidentally, because I did not think, shot a musket right next to his ear.

Boy I sure do am glad that shit doesn't apply to acw.  It used to be very loud, i would go severe deaf after the battle. But now shit doesnt affect me at all anymore. But having a K98 go off right next to you will murder your ears.  I already have some hearing loss before i started, i pity you folks who dont have any hearing loss at all. RIP your ear virginity.

120 grain shot going off in 20 muskets at once is quite... insane :P

Cant tell how loud a Kar98 is, but I can imagine it being very loud. After all the charge is compressed in a tiny tiny metal bullet.

I don't know what the reason is in archery, but usually with firearms it's just due to people expecting nasty recoil and so they cringe or prematurely flinch away from the gun in preparation. I see it a lot with girls when they're smaller sized so the recoil takes more of a hit on them. But yeah, leaning into the shot is always preferable. I'm not sure why some people don't correct it when they see learners doing it - it's just better form.

Ref. leaning out of the shot rather than into the shot. It's not that hard a thing to remember to do. It's also safer when doing a volley if everyone is doing the same thing! I'd rather the guy stood to my left was leaning into the shot as well as angling his lock... that way the lock is nicely forward from my face and the blast will go  up rather than out!!!!!

When I watch videos like that, it makes me wish I still lived in Europe. Doing Napoleonic reenacting is a huuuuuge dream of mine. If I had the money to move back to Europe, fund a full kit, and fund living situation, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Here's a video of the D-Day Commemorative event I went to. Was loads of fun! You can see the unit I was with at 26:46, and see me marching (my smock sleeves are rolled up) at 26:54.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqoGe1aieJk

You can see the unit I was with at 26:46, and see me marching (my smock sleeves are rolled up) at 26:54. I was the third tallest German reenactor there at 6'4.5", the second tallest was 6'5" and the tallest was 6'8". The three of us took a picture together, and I have been looking for it everywhere, but i don't think it was ever uploaded unfortunately. It was a funny photo, the second tallest guy and I were looking at each other while the tallest guy looked at the camera with a funny face and his hands up to his head.

Holy shit. You guys are great actors. I had to rewind it a few times to watch that säni get popped. That was the most realistic death fall I have seen done my a medic.

Oh, I thought it is your Unit. With "you" I meant your Unit, or the guys in the videos. It does sound very throaty, if you get what I mean. With bullshit I meant, that this "Nazi-German" never existed, no one ever talked like that. It sounded right for the guy being wounded, as if there was blood or something in his throat, but it sounds wrong for normal commanding.

Btw, are you sure they said "Sani" instead of "Sanitäter"?

Still, like I said before, if he "got shot in the throat," there would be no fucking way he'd be able to make any sound out of his mouth other than gurgling and guttering. You can't speak with blood rushing up your throat and into your mouth. Any attempt to do that would instantly drown you in your blood, which is why so many soldiers who get shot in the throat die so fast... They try to yell for help, and open up their pipes which allows the thick blood to flow into their lungs, which causes them to drown. #anatomy+dialysis101

All the German voices in Red Orchestra 2 sound like that. Funny because the developers pride themselves on the game's historical accuracy.

Actually, they're accents aren't that bad, compared to the German in the video scene from Gods and Generals I linked. It's still bad, still on the stereotype side, but it sounds way less forced than that "Major" from the video clip I posted. The German language voices (selectable from the audio options) in RO2 are actually superbly done. The accents are perfect for soldiers under duress.

Also, I got back from my reenactment this weekend, and there are going to be loads of pictures and videos being thrown up by the even host Bob Collings from the Collings Foundation in Stow, Massachusetts. Can't wait to share, because I had some pretty epic deaths in three of the four battles.

A shame it's a youtube series, we really need more war movies from the German perspective. I'm getting kinda sick of all those standard ''All germans are evil Nazis'' war movies.

But for the German Television series there are not a lot of movies from the German perspective. I hope this is good, so maybe it is actually worth watching.
The German Television series were good, but still had too many elemts of "Germans are bad Nazis".

I'd write out the entire scenario, but I'm on my phone. In short, it was a Luftwaffe V2 launch site, Göring came to inspect the rocket and the stationed troops, and was accompanied by a small SS honor guard, Americans attacked, wiped out the site, Göring managed to flee, V2 was captured, 'Murica.

We would have received our claims on German land as a payment for five years of occupation, if the Muricans hadn't blocked it due to the fact they wanted a strong and stable West-Germany as an Ally. Our country would be like 40% bigger. Even the last official claim on German land, made in 1946, would still give us most of East Frisia and have our country enlarged by 1840 square km.

We got 69 square km. And we returned 67.75 km of it in 1963. But we still got that 1.25 square km. Yay.

No idea if you guys outside of the Uk can see this but it's an hour long epissode of a documentary series looking at reenactment, this episode was filmed mainly at Hunton court last year and features the 21eme a lot, with our Adjutant Chris Durkin making a great contribution.

I'm pretty sure most people try to pick up their brass immediately after firing it, considering blank adapted rounds are pretty valuable. In the few videos I saw people just immediately took the brass and put it back in their pockets after ejecting it, so I don't think shells would be littering the ground. Of course, don't take my word for it as I'm not a reenactor.

All well and good, but not a single photo or video will ever describe the feeling I had, when I was casually resting near La Haye Sainte when all of a sudden I hear drums, and see thousands of French emerging over the ridge, marching down towards us. That was the most awe-inspiring and epic moment of my life.

Amateur filmmaker usually have no idea about that sorta stuff. Like I saw videos from Waterloo, with shots from the Austrians (who played Prussians in that battle, but that's a whole other discussion). Filmmaker casually claimed that they were Dutch units.....

They portray aides-de-camp but they don't belong to a particular regiment, they come to events and carry the army commander's orders to different units during battles, the pair of them are both very good friends of the 21eme.

It depends, most Aide de Camp had a specific uniform yes especially those from the Etat-Major, but a lot of them kept their previous uniform (hussars captain for Marbot or Garde Impériale lieutenant for Coignet) and only wore a blue armband (like this  one  (http://images-02.delcampe-static.net/img_large/auction/000/181/426/630_004.jpg?v=2) ).

By 1809 (or maybe 1808 or earlier, but I think around '09) Napoleon ordered that only those officers who were Princes of the Empire were allowed to design their own staff-uniforms. Others had to follow regulations. Uniforms were rather practical aside from the blue or red trousers, meant to let the staff officers stand out to easily identify them. It's possible that officers coming from other regiments would keep their own uniforms for a while, but even then they would very likely have the armband (It was red, blue or white depending on the grade of the general), and of course the epaullettes which are a sign of rank.

I've set up the 21eme Regiment de Ligne's YouTube channel, I have a lot of ideas for the future with it. Already put up several videos from previous campaigns seasons. A lot of the videos give a great insight into what it's like in our unit.

For these our Adjutant Chef records parts of events of every campaign on his camcorder, don't know what kind it is but certainly not an up-to-date one as he's not great with technology, bit of a dinorsaur lol

As for the three I posted of this years events so far, I just found them on Youtube I have no idea who recorded them ;)

Well the pantalon de route is a non regulation item, as such it can be any cloth and or colour :) Although cotton is still uncommon in europe at that time. For the Bardin pantalons, bardin basically decided to get rid of the woolen trousers and long gaiters, as he saw that none wore those. Instead he introduced the pantalon de route as a regulation item made out of unbleached linen.

Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Olafson on May 19, 2017, 07:04:04 pm
Uniforms yes, equipment not really.

A lot of stuff is just noted down as "brush" or "kidney shaped cooking pot" and stuff like that.
There are no drawings or descriptions describing a whole bunch of items that every soldier would have carried. The best we can do is to assume that the items the french Army started using in the 1850s (When they first were described and/or photographed) and stopped using sometime around the 1920s up to the 1950s are the same they would have used during the Napoleonic period.

For cooking implements, there are 4-5 crude drawings of what the regulation issue equipment could have looked like, but they differ slighty from drawing to drawing and are not extremely detailed. (I guess no one but for the soldiers cared much about the cooking implements...)

General regulation Uniform is known, the devil is in details though. Did this regiment have this colour, did it have the uniform made out of this wool, or that wool, how did their epaulettes look like, did they have rombic shako plates or not, did they have round pompoms or disc shaped ones etc...

I know what linen looks like, our pantalons are linen. We get them from our Caporal Fourrier who makes them. We do not bleach them I can assure you.

Your trouser looks like it might be of the correct material (still bleached though), the other ones do not.
They are very white. Proper unbleached linen is almost brown, depending on the type of linen and whether it has been washed before or not.

Look at these samples I have at home. 2,3,10,11 are partly bleached. That is why they are so white. Anything from 5-15 is strong enough to be used as trousers, gaiters or for other uses. Anything above that is to thin and will rip apart to quickly, or let to much air or dirt through. 9 and 15 are the same, except 15 has been washed in 90degree warm water.

The actual colour of the linen heavily depends on where you got it from, so the colour varies, but it is never very white. As a matter of fact, the wool on your gilet/habit should be whiter than your trousers. As you see, the whitest unbleached linen is still very brown.
The pattern that bardin trousers should have is the pattern you see on number 12. Ofc. there are still regimental differences, and I do not know about every regiment specifically, but in general this is how it is supposed to be.

About the cooking stuff:
For civil war, it is actually reasonable to use a dutch oven. Unless on campaign ofc, carrying it would be an absolute pain. What really bugs me everytime about the civil war, is that no one seems to carry any large cooking gear. I guess I got so used to carrying the pots and pans around in Napoleonic and WW1 reenacting, that I wish I could do the same in CW, while still being authentic. I hate to just have a cup and a canteen half to cook with.

Anyway, here are the pots I was talking about:

My idea with the canvas bucket is just an idea. As far as I know, it was never issued. However, the thing on the back of the soldier looks exactly like a water bucket would look like when folded up...
It could ofc, also just be a pot in its linen cover. 

The one below one we know was not used a lot. Soldiers threw it away, or it rusted away to quickly. Its sole purpose was to carry water.
It also was not issued after the Napoleonic wars, so we have more or less definite proof that it was not used.

I like the drawing where the handle of the kidney-shaped pan is in the centre. Makes you wonder how they'd have worn it on the backpack - you can't wear it on top, or it will either stab your rear-man in the eye or it will bang against the back of your head. Only thing I can imagine is that they'd flip it horizontally and carry it enough to the side so the handle would get to the side of the backpack. That might make it unbalanced though.

I can't imagine it's an drawing error, though. It's quite easy to identify which side a handle is on, especially on such a weird spot as in the centre.

Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Olafson on May 21, 2017, 02:37:43 am
Bardin refers to them as iron kettle, and the italian model is also made out of iron, so that is unlikely

I also do not think that the drawing with the handle is accurate. On no other drawings does he depict a handle, and the position just seems very off. The way the soldiers are carrying the kettle clearly proves that the handle position is not correct.
It is much more likely that the  handle was, as on the ww1 kettle, placed on the right or left side of the pan/cover.

We use both of these pots/kettles since quite some time now and they work really well for what they are supposed to do. Sometimes we also carry an additional iron pan (which is not inaccurate for the period either) but that is mostly due to my brother being stupid and loving a good iron pan, than functionality. You can do anything with those 2 pots/kettles that you need to do.
Which makes sense, as historically, every 8 men would have been issued with one kettle and one pot.

I don't like any of the British Napoleonic French groups. the 69eme are the best, but even they aren't that great.
The 45e Genie are the worst, followed by the 45e Line.

And whatever they are wearing is hardly regulatory. They are mixing campaign, fiction and parade dress together. It's absurd.

Post by: Olafson on June 25, 2017, 11:54:15 am
Well no, my point is that these people aren't even trying to carry stuff in the backpack that makes sense. Or to carry anything in it at all.

Filling your backpack with straw is actually historically accurate though! They would do it when on garrison. There is actually a story about a Prussian Unit that was garrisoned somewhere in Germany and did drill with straw filled backpacks. Napoleon and his army marched by and he watched them doing drill. Apparently he liked them so much, that he added the unit to his army and commanded them to march with him. The guys never had the chance to fill their backpacks with anything useful, so they had to march to campaign with straw filled backpacks.
The unit would send train units to pick up their gear later, but for the first few days/weeks they had to go without it...
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Duuring on June 25, 2017, 02:01:07 pm
Carrying your stuff is so handy. You don't risk anyone stealing anything and you don't have to worry about having one item here, one item it that tent, one item in the car, et cetera. And it's not even that heavy. Packing it properly and carrying it on the right height already helps a lot, and you get used to the weight anyway. Yeah, it still tiring, but it's re-enactment after all.

An added advantage is that people have to keep bullshit items at home because they cannot carry it. Unless your Olafson's brother of course, and you wreck yourself because you just have to bring a large heavy 1 litre bottle of beer.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Olafson on June 25, 2017, 03:51:55 pm
He carried 2 bottles adding an additional 3-4 kilogram of weight to the backpack.

Napoleonic/Civil War Backpacks are not made to hold more than 10-15kg of weight. They will cut into your flesh and you won't get enough blood in your arms. You can do that with a modern Bergen backpack, its straps are far wider, softer and it usually has a chest and waist strap. Napoleonic packs have neither, and the Civil war chest straps are kinda useless.

Post by: Olafson on June 26, 2017, 09:46:16 am
The packs you had at loevestein weren't even 10 kilo's... more like 8..

Yeah so? As I said, they won't be able to hold more than 10-15 kilo depending on the pack. And they really do not have to. There isn't that much stuff you have to carry with you.

A blanket, a spare shirt, spare socks, brush, whip, cleaning kit, sewing kit, washing kit, fire starter kit, spare gaiters, food, greatcoat, distribution straw sack, a pot or pan to cook from.
I don't think that this could add up to much more than 10 kilos, if it even reaches that. It depends on the greatcoat and the blanket, as different materials can easily add to the weight significantly. Cheap cotton is always thinner and lighter than expensive wool. It's probably already the maximum you can put inside these packs anyways. But it will fill them up to the rim, so it definitely won't look retarded, like an empty backpack does...
Now ofc if you add another 3-4 kilos of weight to your pack because you feel like you have to carry beer in glass bottles with you, then you are easily going to exceed that weight limit. Especially with the bad paki packs in civil war, that have this extremely stiff leather they are going to rip your arms off (IF the cloth of the pack doesn't rip before that... :P)

There is a common problem in reenactment though. You barely spend more than 2 full days at an event. Why would you bring 4 days worth of food (Which is what they would have gotten) if you only stay for 2 days? :P
Additionally, there is always stuff that you do not own yet and are simply missing.
In walldürn, the event we were talking about with the glass bottles, we actually had food for 3 days, because we spend 3 days there. It was great seeing the bread bags stuffed to the rim with food.

The ENITRE weight of the ENTIRE kit of a Napoleonic soldier, that includes the gun and what he is wearing on himself plus an empty canteen, usually does not exceed 20 kilograms. The gun itself already weights 4.5 kilos, so you are left with 15kgs to divide between backpack, cartridge box, and clothes.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Olafson on June 26, 2017, 09:54:47 am
Ah yes, I found the list of weights in the french army, for different soldiers. It does however, assume that your canteen is filled and that you still have all the issue gear + 4 days worth of bread.

Voltigeur cornetist 19.9kg
Voltigeur officer 23.9kg
Voltigeur 23.96kg
Fusilier 24.1kg
Fusilier corporal, 25.7kg
Fusilier drummer 26.2kg
Grenadier 27.35kg
Fusilier sergeant 27kg
Grenadier drummer 27.7kg
Grenadier sergeant 29.31kg
Sapper 32.975kg

This is interesting actually, thank you for this Riddlez. I am going to try some stuff out.

I don't know. The 45e could change their appearance so easily. Get rid of the campaign gear, only wear the parade gear, get rid of the bread bags and blankets on top of the backpack, add a greatcoat to the top of the pack, fill your pack with something.

If they do that, they would already look really good.

See, the only thing they have to change is stop wearing or start wearing an item they already have. They don't have to buy or make anything, they just have to make an effort. But apparantly that makes us 'stitch nazi's'.

You also should have a spare set of shoes/soles with you, probably.

Yes, you are supposed to carry a pair of spare shoes, but fuck me they are so expensive, before I am going to get a pair of spare shoes, I will get proper greatcoats for everyone, and then all the parade gear that I am missing (Because on any parade we have to take part in, we go in campaign gear... Which is silly, but I have no parade gear at the moment)

And then after that I need to update all the loaner gear, because most of it is crap quality, and I am also missing all kinds of stuff for the loaners. For example pretty much everything that goes inside the backpack I only have for myself. I wish I could get that same stuff for everyone, so we all carry the same stuff, but meh. Moneeeeeeey.

The work of a reenactor is never done. There is always something to improve or to buy next. Perhaps that is part of why this hobby is such great fun: there's stuff to do and improve.

Take a look at me for example. I mean compare this (https://legermuseum.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/dewilde-mariniers.jpg?w=850) with this (https://i.imgur.com/QNtDhm4.jpg). There's some minor things that need to improve.

First of all, we've been talking about maybe getting those pompous, oversized feather plumes for our shakos. I am not sure if they were only used on parade or used during campaigns and battles as well. At the very least, we know they had them so there's that. Then there's the red sword knots, which I always believed to be only worn by NCO's but apparantly every marine had them around their sabre. Finally some new model waistcoats and trousers. Our trousers are pretty wide, which is fine for 1790's with gaiters underneath them, but a complete disaster for 1806 with gaiters on top of em. I am convinced we need something more narrow and smooth. Same goes for waistcoats. Finally, I am still not convinced that marines carried their bayonets next to their sabers. I am pretty sure that they probably carried them on their cartidge box sling, like the French did. Though, that is gonna take some more research into that.

I also need some proper shoes, will get to that once I have some money to spend again. My greatcoat is finally done and I'll receive it this weekend at Wavre so that has pretty much emptied my budget for this year.

Did this museum seriously just repaint this ORIGINAL drawing of the Dutch Marines by Suhr? :P The original actually has more details too ? Or is it one of the 10 remaining original originals? That would be sweet...

Your trousers most likely were made out of tricot wool. Surprisingly a LOT of napoleonic gear was made out of tricot wool. It is a very stretchy, shiny material, it almost looks syntetic. The good thing about it is, that it can sit very tight on you, but because it stretches, it does not hinder your movement.

It is however, difficult to get nowadays and quite expensive.

I believe your impression is fairly close though to this drawing, so I think it's no biggie that the trousers are slightly to baggy. One thing to consider would be to get this fabulous pink waistcoat though. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.

I am fairly sure btw. that they are not wearing gaiters, but cavalry boots without spurs. It was very common in the french navy/the navy's in general at the time. If you compare the drawing of these boots to the drawings of cavalry boots, you can see that they look exactly the same.

Ah yes, I found the list of weights in the french army, for different soldiers. It does however, assume that your canteen is filled and that you still have all the issue gear + 4 days worth of bread.

Voltigeur cornetist 19.9kg
Voltigeur officer 23.9kg
Voltigeur 23.96kg
Fusilier 24.1kg
Fusilier corporal, 25.7kg
Fusilier drummer 26.2kg
Grenadier 27.35kg
Fusilier sergeant 27kg
Grenadier drummer 27.7kg
Grenadier sergeant 29.31kg
Sapper 32.975kg

This is interesting actually, thank you for this Riddlez. I am going to try some stuff out.

Is this rifle and ammo included?

Yes, total equipment, with filled canteen. It does not include additional ammo or personal gear though.
Additional ammo would be a pack of 10 cartridges, and personal gear includes stuff for shaving and cleaning yourself. It shouln't add more than 1 kilo of weight though, at most.

The expected lifespan of uniforms and equipment is also interesting to read about:

Greatcoat 3 years
Jacket 2 years
drawers 1 year
musket 50 years
sabre 50 years
sappers apron 20 years
sappers axe 10 years
shako 4 years
bearskin 6 years
breeches 1 year
belts 20 years
cartridge pouch 20 years
coatee 2 years
coat 3 years
drum 20 years
fatigue cap 2 years

Which is interesting, because if you look at drawings of the 1813 german campaign, and see how wrecked they are (Sure they are most likely returning from russia, but that doesn't change the fact that they were supposed to stay good for up to 50 YEARS) you would think that the life expectancy of gear would be much lower...  Intersting to note is also, that on these drawings you can clearly see some equipment that was not issued before 1813. I.e. it is brand new. But either some of the equipment wore off VERY quickly, or the way to high life expectancy of the gear caused them not to issue new trousers of shoes, because in theory they should still be in good shape. Only new equipment was issued, equipment that did not see a change was not reissued, so soldiers were stuck with uniforms that had been worn for years.

I always wondered if that thing was real, an accidental discolouring of the picture or just Suhr's own faboulous creation.

Oh, they most definitely are. Which always struck me as odd because I have heard from several people that boots give no solid footing on wet, slippery decks at all, compared to normal buckle shoes with nails. I'd attribute it to the fact the navy was insignificant and barely had any ships left after 1800, so marines were practically always on land but I'd be lynched by my own unit if I said that out loud.

It would probably be more accurate to wear boots, but also really expensive. I think gaiters are an acceptable alternative. Yeah I did just say that.

There's plenty of muskets still working fine after 200 years.

Yeah, but most likely none of them saw any heavy service. Most likely they were just sitting around in a cupboard somewhere. Which is not to unlikely, you need to remember that the Charleville was one of the most produced and copied firearms in history.

Sure, if they saw little action and were properly maintained.

If it saw heavy action all parts must have been replaced at some point, I am not too sharp on the physics of it all, but I can't imagine a musket barrel lasting that long, especially on campaign.
Not to mention the springs in the lock.

A lot of the remaining guns that have been shot have very thin barrels and are usually 10cm shorter.

Reason for that is that the muzzle got used up so much that it got thinner and thinner and it had to be cut off at the end. Some originals are very dangerous for that reason too.

I'd wager modern-made muskets to have much better quality steel, much more pure than that old shit from the 19th century.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: joer5835 on June 27, 2017, 01:20:35 pm
Modern muskets are definitely safer. Which is why it's redicilous that according to Dutch law, an original is free to own and fire without any license while a modern day reproduction, which is exactly the same safe for the fact it is better made and safer, somehow requires a gun license. I'm not against having a gun license, but at least have a system that makes sense.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos

Agreed. Question though, what if I were to buy an original musket and change the barrel?

We need to elect a re-enactor into parliament so that shit can be fixed.

Riddlez, that would count as a replica.

I think this figure is probably a NCO or a commissioned officer. Notice the light (silver?) braid on both epaulletes as well as the fact he has a full-lenght sabre with a waistbelt, as opposed to the shorter shoulderbelt models the other two figures use. He also has the pocket-thingy hanging out of his trousers (I forget the proper name) which usually was attached to a pocketwatch. Those items were only for the wealthy. His cockade is also noteworthy larger than that of the central figure, though that might just be an artist's error. I can't tell whether he is commisioned or not - the epaulletes are still plain red and doesn't have the metal shield. Weird stuff.

The sabre the central figure is wearing is also of a different, older model, than the sabre-briquets the Equipage uses.

Post by: joer5835 on June 27, 2017, 09:36:06 pm
We are aware of that, yeah. The French style sabre-briquets are wrong, we need those Prussian style sabers.

Like this (https://www.re-enactmentshop.com/webshop/18th-century/short-sword).

I'd get that, but I'm on short on cash and I have the wrong carrying belt for that thing which means either get entirely new leatherwork or have a custom made scabard made that fits. Maybe something for the future if my current sabre ever breaks down.

That's not really right either. If the Suhr drawings are accurate, soldiers wore different models, but the ones that had a guard with multiple bars, they always covered the entire hand and not just the front, like this (https://i.imgur.com/JAHxgPc). That one also clearly has only one bar. Two-bar-models can be seen though, as well as models looking very much like the French sabre-briquet.

How do you guys deal with such a thing as sabres? I mean, replica muskets are readily available, though I can imagine finding an accurate sabre (or an type of sword, really) to be a much more challenging issue.
Title: Re: Reenactment Videos
Post by: Duuring on June 27, 2017, 11:00:12 pm
It depends. Officers can pretty much buy any epee or sabre they like, and those are usually also made in cheaper replicas. As for the sabre-briquets of soldiers, it sorta depends on the impression. The French An XI model sabre-briquet is mass-produced in replica and most people go with that. It is accurate or as close as it gets for most of the cases.

True, but there's always the issue: does anyone actually even make those models nowadays?

The early french sabre briquet is extremely difficult to get though, mostly originals. Most units just use the later one, because finding an early version is difficult.

You might have seen it, the difference is pretty much only the handle. The one we have is an original early version, the one in NW is the late version. The early version is more squarish.

Most of the early versions are not available as replicas, I am only aware of the early prussian model. Most french models are not. Infact, the french sabre briquet replica most people have is actually the prussian sabre... I mean, the difference is negligible, if existant, but its still there.
