Major victory over the 15th, loved it! Especially that last glorious 'rambo' charge, only needed more than 5 to go outside the fort, 20-30 charged out the fort, loved it.

That neck is part of the osp head mod that B&I uses And there are other issues that crop with using those heads, such as the opposite of the problem with IE (the necks are too long).

Well couldn't IE use the same thing? And well it's better to get the issues dealt with now than to add the British faction and Russian etc in future, eventually having even more necks to edit is it not?

Suggestion:


Please fix the floating heads and invisible-in-existent neck meshes. To be perfectly honest it should have been one of the first things to do during the 2 years of development but I'm a patient man.

Thank you.

It's pretty hard to fix necks. If one wants to edit the head mesh itself then each frame of the  head needs to be changed (there are 20+ frames). And changes to the tunics can make the uniform look dodgy around the neck area.

Well you managed to make a longer neck for your British Naval Brigade uniform in Blood and Iron so it's possible but I'm not sure why it wasn't thought of when making all the large meshes for the uniforms for the Germans. Surely some of the Beta testers must have pointed it out seeing as there's been about three patches but no change, adding new uniforms and such but not completing a neck. To me having an invisible neck would be like having invisible hands, it'd ruin the feel and the look of the game, you can make a uniform as fancy and good looking as you want but if the body doesn't fit, it just doesn't look right.

Historical Reenactment / Re: Reenactment Discussion

Generally a new member to join a reenacting unit wouldn't be looked down upon. If you do join a unit act like that, thats a bad unit right there. I had that thought when i first did ACW, turns out my unit is like 2nd family.

I hope i did not crush your dream or hope. You still can make your own unit. My Gruppefuhrer of 275th Infanterie look like under 21 to me and he has done incredible work for the unit and proceeded into Historical Reenact Society like a steam roll simply because he joined as a soldat and rose through the ranks as years go by. Im only saying this because right now, i do kinda see a rise of young guys saying "oh i never done reenacting and units are so far...i think i will just make one"  its not that easy. 

Yeah its surprising the group I speak of are known to be of high standard and they're very accurate but unfortunately some of their members are a little too accurate, I've seen them point out other groups and call them farbs and scuffs, its good to have pride in your group but some people turn pride into snobbishness.

Oh don't worry I'm not planning on starting anything for years yet, nor would I start as a 'green' newbie xD I adore alot of kinds of history I just need to choose a good group eventually, I just don't want to choose the wrong era, buy the kit then get bored and join a new era. Also I don't want to join a group stay for years then go and make my own only to be seen as a traitor, like using them for experience. I think it'll still be a  while before I start re-enacting but I always like planning for the future. If I do make a re-enactment group I wouldn't make myself officer anyway, they always get aimed for! 

I just find it interesting to see how units in other countries and ones that portray different eras work differently, some have no ranks, some have big jumps like a general and lieutenant in their group (Second Battle Group, biggest SS group in the UK)  I find it interesting how people control ranks and be fair in groups without others getting annoyed and such, like promotion time in NW, I know a game is different than real life but theres always someone who complains!

I've always been raring to get into re-enacting ever since I was a kid and used to visit the shows and watch the movies, but haven't really gotten round to choosing a group or even a nation/era etc

I was even thinking one day of starting my own re-enactment group seeing as surprisingly there isn't alot of WWI-WWII re-enactment groups in the London area, theres quite a lot of big ones based South West and in the Midlands but paying for travel and the kit + the rest of my expenses seems pretty slim. Although I have doubts about starting one seeing as I can tell it's not the easiest or cheapest responsibility in the world! 

Anywho, too the point, I was wondering how your re-enactment groups run on the inside, for example your rank structures, how does your group sort out who's who, who does what and who deserves to go up or down? Or if you're a new group, what rank did your founder decide to become? I've noticed there is a big hoo-ha when it comes to officer ranks during re-enactment, at the War & Peace show I saw about 4 German officers out of 200 odd German re-enactors, sure thats realistic when combined but in an individual group that is probably equal to a platoon, they should technically have an officer, not 20 privates and 1 NCO.

I've already gained insight into two UK re-enactment groups and how they work, I thought it'd be interesting to hear how other re-enactment groups work all over the world, from Napoleonic to Vietnam or WWI to WWII.

Here's a bonus question, how do you react to 'newcomers' who ask about your group and wish to join? In the past I've noticed some re-enactors look down on 'newbies' with condescension believing 'they don't know the first thing about history, they're just here to go bang bang, boom, I'm a general', either that or some people are just generally what people call 'condescending know-it-all's. Do you welcome newcomers with open arms giving them a chance to show what they know or think "Oh dear another newbie, I bet he thinks this is like COD'?

Feel free to discuss

Riggy has changed his profile picture!!

Cookie to whoever knows what it is.

It's a Chinese soldier from 1938.

Yup it looks pretty similar with the Chinese Sun insignia on the front of the helmet.

I understand where you're coming from. Maybe it's because I associate that with his coming onto my TS with a fake name telling me how he "got me in trouble" on the forums, the PMing me about how England won the War of 1812, and other my-dick-is-bigger-than-yours Napoleon syndrome.
