Title: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Davout on November 11, 2012, 04:11:06 pm
Reenactor Discussion

Hello Community

Feel free to discuss and form or era or historical reenactment. Share some of your experiences and fond memories. With the help of other community members we will keep all eager reenactors up to date with events and bicentinary's with locations and historical era.

Post decent places to get hold of authentic arms and uniforms as many people find it hard to find them.

Will keep improving this first post as we go along.

I've been doing Roman military reenactment for the past three years, and would dearly love to try some Napoleonic stuff. It's been really hard finding reliable groups from my area of England, though. Most of them are based in the South from what I can find. Does anyone know of any more Northern based Napoleonic or even Civil War groups? I'm even willing to go American Revolution period if necessary. Just get me a musket :p

Most of us are not buying our own now anyway. We have found a bunch of 'stencils' for each bit of the uniform so we are going to make our own.

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: zac on December 15, 2012, 03:38:15 pm
the old coats are normally used just for the making of the pattern and lace distinctions. I know about the french coats also,the royal marines used the colour "royal blue" this is the same as used on the foot guard regiments of the modern British army, it is the same blue as that

in regards to the hat i am still sourcing a suitable place to get it from but i have got the fatigue hat

There's a grand difference between saying 'Every people have their own country and should stay there' and 'All the Jews must die! All the Gypsies must die! All the gay people must die! All the Bolsheviks must die! All the people who do not agree with what we say must die!'

well i do British Grenadier , Marine, sailor, civilian and i have been a carronade crew  couple of time , im also putting together some gear for a french sapper , got the leather apron and its very hard to walk in, havnt got the bearskin yet but wearing bicorn.

for whermacht im a stormpinoere which is basically an engineer.

And for something really different and not much heard of, i am putting together the gear of the SS British Free Corps which was a commonwealth volunteer force,much like the American geoge washinton legion, and the variouse Dutch,Belgian and french, even russian counterparts. They joined on the condition that they were only fighting communism, the USSR , and that they would not have to vurse there former comrades, the paper work actualy made it to appear that they were "on loan" to the german army  :) Germans love their paperwork.

Yup, What you just saw was basically 1st Illinois Battalion, I am part of 10th Illinois, Co. H. I just started reenacting over the late summer and I must say its the best thing I've done. I am looking forward to 150th Chancellorsville, 150th Gettysburg and of course 150th Chickamauga and rest of living history.

I know people, who doing medieval reenactment on a pretty high level, besides of participating in festivals, maneuvers and similar events, from time to time they also receive invitations to show some performance on private parties, such as weddings, corporate events and so on, and get quite good money for it. May i ask, how it does in napoleonic and other groups of later times, do you take part in something like this?In other words do you have opportunities to make some money on this(reenactment)?

I was there at Maryland, My Maryland. Saw some familiar faces on the Confederate side in your video. :P

Here's one from this weekend. Hurtgenwald. It was an immersion event and damn I was fucking tired spending most of the night awake either on sentry or waking up to an American patrol probing our line. There was a new moon as well as a heavy fog that rolled in, so there were plenty of times where you could barely make the outline of your hand in front of you and could only see about 10m in the fog. Because of the previous rain earlier the day prior, the raindrops off of the soaked trees would drop on the dead leaves below constantly... it sounded like there were people walking everywhere.

I can attest to this. That fog was so thick it was like trying to look through a wool blanket. About that American patrol you mention, I know the guys that went on it. They were looking actually looking for a prisoner. And they had gotten sent on it because our commander had found them supposedly "unable to sleep". And yes, the raindrops were terrible. That, mixed with the fact that every tree looked like a German (or American I suppose) in a greatcoat, made for a very long night indeed.

Well, to be completely accurate, the age of majority in the US varies from 18 to 21 depending on the state. 21 is the drinking age everywhere, though.

It's kinda silly that the fact if you are independent or not by age 18 depends on what side of a stateborder you live.

You don't really need a lot of money, you just need to be willing to spent it. It's expensive, yes, but it's nevertheless payable. A few hundred euros would cover you for a long time, and many regiments have clothing you can borrow.
Being shy is not a problem, so was (and still am) I.

If you could do re-enactment, what regiment/period/nation would you like to join?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Van_Hulstein on March 19, 2013, 01:28:11 pm
So far im interested in:
2de Grenadiers
5de bataljon militie
3e grenadiers

But i think i will join the 3e with you because they interest me the most, but I really really have to think about it.
Its a little maybe ;)
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on March 19, 2013, 01:59:12 pm
The 5de seems to be a little inactive (though they are undoublty still around, I've seen a few of them at battles), so yeah, 2e Bataljon van linie (Grenadier compagnie) or 3eme Grenadiers.

Personally I'm looking into the 6de Huzaren van Boreel. It's expensive, but I just sollicated for a job that might make it possible.

Oh the pain of high quality gears being so damn expensive. 

Its funnier that I looked up ww2 gears, some of them cost 90-200.  But while a sack coat, only 1 deformed pocket and 4 button....while the tunic has like more pocket and decoration.....but the sack coat cost like damn 200 bucks to 400!  >:(

It could be worse, you could reenact a Napoleonic officer, especially one that wore a particularly fancy (http://en.empirecostume.com/uniform-of-officer-of-chevau-leger-lancier-c78-a1878.htm) uniform. They want $240 for one freakin' epaulette.

That said, style don't come cheap, and you'd be the cock of the walk at any reenactment if you showed up in duds like that. Hell, I might just wear it as every day clothing.

WWII wasn't always cheap. For a GOOD tunic, you'd spend around $250 in the early-mid '90s. That's what my dad ended up doing.

Don't know what happened, but I'm sure the Chinese pumping out repros really spurred the Euro and then the American vendors into competition.

On the flip side, ACW shit has gotten worse. So many shite repros out there and they're so fucking expensive. If anything, there's more farbs out there now except you've got the campaigner regiments out there which look great.

If you happen to become a cuirassier and I happen to become a Dutch hussar, we should make a secret agreement where we leave our formation and challenge eachother for a duel. Damn the re-enactment, we will give the public a show ^_^

the 21eme uniform is correct,buttons etc,,its these damn 1809etc uniform guys that stuff it up,the 21eme over here is spilt into the NSW detachment and the Victoria Detachment , The other guys there are from variouse regiments, namely the 3rd grenadiers QLD , Young Guard QLD , Irish Legion NSW, Old guard, sadly wont be here this year as the seargent died in early January :( , and many of the members have been to waterloo already, the sutler actually supplies the gear for a few groups over there , the officer shown is in such a state due to it being last minute, our commander didnt show so he chucked variouse gear together,,it looks much better now

Could you be a LITTLE more specific? Keep in mind there are at least three first-eventers with borrowed gear.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Landrik on March 25, 2013, 10:06:46 pm
Modern footwear and gloves mostly. I have to say the greatcoated line on the other side of the flag has a stronger impression IMO.

The flag looks nylon, but with the filter it's hard to tell.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on March 25, 2013, 10:20:00 pm
I spotted exactly one guy with gloves who look a little bit too modern, the naval officer.

Shoes differs. I went trough three pair in three events, then decided to offically fuck that part of my uniform. I've got shoes who look old but with modern souls.
Another problem with the shoes is that you're not allowed indoors with the nailshoes that were historicly worn.

The flag is nylon because they needed a quick non-regimental flag.

Anyway, saying people look utterly disgusting because of some shoes and a pair of gloves is a little bit harsh, don't you think? Don't forget we can't nilly-willy choose our uniformparts like most ACW can.

Well, I did repulse an assault of the 7de BvL with only a few guys next to me. I became a little bit reckless and jumped the barricade to persue them, and their veteran corporal would have cut me to bits with his sabre-briquet, had it been real  ;D SO I DESERVE THAT MEDAL.

Edit: And just to show how cold it was:

Perhaps the wording of "utterly disgusting" was a bit harsh considering some of the shite I've seen.

However, I'm not a fan of the three yards rule or the 30 yards rule. Perhaps you should do some more shopping around for your period correct footwear if you keep getting cheap repros that will fall apart on you. Modern soles look gross.

I wouldn't excuse the nylon flag either. xD Better to go without than have something so strikingly modern, IMO.

Congratulations on the medal, haha! gib em da bayonert

Landrik, there are a lot of people who DO wear the proper shoes, and some don't. Anyway, saying these people are utterly disgusting is completely idiotic compared to ACW, because damn, I've seen and heard some shit about ACW. Like the re-enactment of Gettysburg were people rode buses for a grand distance of 500 yards between camp and battle. We marched six kilometer in a small unhistorical 200-men re-enactment. In sensed temperatures as low as -15. Did you ever participate in a event with such low temperatures (and that's a serious question, not sarcasm)

Here are some other words you might find shocking of harsh:
Drill.
Proper marching.
Formations.

And the worst of them all: UNIFORMITY! TA TA TAAAAAAAAM!

Spoiler
Don't take it too serious, but I really think you shouldn't talk so harsh about us. Your gear is simply a lot cheaper and easier to get (not even pointing out the fact you have a bucket load of freedom), so you have less problems buying something historical which nobody sees.

If you're criticizing most ACW units, you're under the pretense that I don't already criticize them myself.

I already said using "utterly disgusting" was a bit harsh and untactful of myself. Don't bring it up again.

Uniformity, realistically, was one of the things the CSA couldn't dish out. Not enough supplies and too many men. You'd see different companies with different uniforms and a whole swath of civilian clothing in the mix. The Union don't have that excuse.

My company and regiment do march and drill well as do other units. I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'm not a representative of ACW reenacting as a whole, so attacking me as such is a bit... much.

Sense ACW reenacting is mostly during the Summer. No. However, for WWII I've done 10 degrees with wind chill. Have you ever done a reenactment at 125 heat index? Or even 100 regular temperature? If so, hat's off to you. -12 sounds cold as shit.

I love doing long marches. I marched 18 miles forced march from Mississippi to Tennessee for the 150th of Shiloh. Thankfully I was in shape, because some guys weren't and didn't make it in time.

Those bus riders sound like they have piss for blood.

Yeah, we've really got to work on our website (IR.208) and make it more useful with historical references, articles, etc. That's what I really like about the Red Guard page as well as their facebook group. Always some discussion going on everyday. At the same time, it's harder to dig up Soviet stuff and so bringing up all kinds of different sources and translating them into English is a regular thing, haha. They have a fantastic impression and are amazing to fight as well as hang around with.

Here's an important group for you West Coasters.

I think: Mg42's overheat too quickly, and are quite inaccurate compared to British and American counterparts, also, PPSHs, are WAY lighter, so easier to carry around, though, their magazines are quite big and heavy, and if you are shooting longer 'sprays' you get massive recoil

MG-42's accurate enough, overheating is a problem with the volume of fire but changing barrels is super easy. Easier than changing barrels for the 34. The volume of fire is fantastic, and I'd prefer it over something slower like a Maxim or a Browning.

In German WWII reenacting there's a huge amount of K98ks followed by very few G43s and MP40s. Following them are STG44s and finally MGs.

In Soviet reenacting there's a bunch of Mosins, but the PPS-43 is plentiful for some reason. There's more of them then there are German automatics, haha.

Having a PPSh-41 with a round drum would be great. 72 rounds of face to face kill. But that's damn expensive. Also finding a good round drum that still works like a charm is a toughie. Most are so old now they jam more than they did back then. You'll usually see stick magazines.

That's interesting. I'm surprised to hear that PPSH drum jam up more than they did. I've always thought those thing were well known for having "jam" at a rare time. Or maybe its a myth i heard.

And the horse. Don't forget the horse.

To be honest, guys, (And this I've been told by re-enactment veterans): If you care more about the fact you have to buy an expensive uniform then the fact you have to (learn how to) ride a horse, cavalry probably isn't your thing. Of course, when you have ridden all your life, that's another story...

Fantastic weekend. Will be in the trailer for Quatre-Bras 2015 and a film called The Regiment.

I wish I'd gone now :(
Oh well, my first events and Hunton Court in May which I hear is a good event.
Just go to all you can. We are angry with Chris because he stopped 2 others from going because it was an NA event. He hates the NA and doing that is just pathetic. But you missed a good one.

Ah alright, what about this event on May 18th/18th, Sheffielf Triples, should I go to that, or just go to the Hunton Court event the following weekend?

Bataille de Möckern

The battle  is over, the French retreated back to Magdeburg. ;D

To the event:
It was a smaller event.
The bivouac was in the castle park of Möckern.

At the morning there was a little fight between 4 Jägers (me, 2 other Garde-Jäger and one Lützower) against 12 Saxon.
We were surrounded and taken as prisoners:

French: 5 cannons, infantry around 15 Saxon and 15 French.
On prussian side there were 10 cannons, 15 Jaegers divided in 6 "Lützower" and 10 "Garde-Jäger" and at least two platoons of Infantry around 20 men (Landwehr, Leibregiment, Garde).

I know, the photos aren't the best because I had to use my Mobile phone and a lot of people were watching the battle.

All in all: It was cold, small and one of the best events i ever had. Both sides presented a good usage of tactic and it wasn't boring.

Hopefully, Großgörschen will be a good reenactment. (4th May 2013)

I hope it doesn't look like that one. I've seen a few surviving ones and they all had brass buttons (in the aforementioned picture they appear to be plastic/bone) and the front flap only covered the top third.

See (http://www.najecki.com/repro/misc/Nannos/HaversackBody.html).

I guess it's only a haversack, though. At least it's not a canteen marked 'BO'...the horror...

Post by: Docm30 on April 09, 2013, 09:36:58 am
Point them in the direction of the National Archives (of the UK), of which even a cursory look which will reveal the Board of Ordnance didn't start issuing camp equipment (including canteens) until 1821. Between 1808 and 1821 camp equipment was issued by the Storekeeper General's Department, and before that the Commissariat.

But I guess some people are stuck in their ways: Osprey books still claim the British wore knapsacks with wooden frames in the Napoleonic era.

Why is there a British rifleman in the French ranks? and why is he wearing his equipment wrong? regulations clearly stated that riflemen should wear the belts and equipment under the greatcoat.

Also, Schneider for the win. Samson looks like an asshole.

A few of the rifles were used to bulk out the french lines during filming as one french regiment refused to do filming as they would not get paid...

I quote from a fellow Dutch re-enactor:

For me the, the choice is a clear one, after also wiping away that tear in my eye at Jena, and standing on the field of Waterloo presenting arms to mr. Samson's back while he waved at the audience.

Vive Le Mark!

It's going to be someone who used to play a regular soldier of the 7de, started horse riding a few years back...and well, one thing turned into another, and now they are going to re-enactment the Prince + staff.  :P

As I'm going to be a Dutch hussar in 2015, I might even become part of that staff...Though, as it's the Prince, I'll get my fair share of charges.

It is Frank Samson in the Bataille de lützen (Großgörschen) on the first May-weekend.

Great pics,,cant wait to see all the Btn's on the 21eme meet/form up at Waterloo 2015

Thought this was interesting.  Copy and pasted from the http://www.panzergrenadier.net/ Forums

An introduction to the hobby
Many thanks to Paul Dalby for submitting this article.

A phenomenon which grew up in the last quarter of the 20th Century was the hobby/pastime/obsession known as Re-enactment.
A myriad of historical periods were available to choose from and those gaining immediate predominance were Roman, Medieval, English Civil War, American Civil War and the Second World War.

In the UK there is the finest array of groups recreating many eras and the scene is one of healthy competition and constant improvement. When it comes to most periods, they are outside living memory so sources of reference must come from written accounts, preserved evidence and archaeology. With World War II however, this is somewhat different. There are at the time of writing this, still many veterans who fought alive. There are also many millions of people who were children or under age for conscription but who still experienced the conflict, be it first hand or through their families. Evidence is therefore plentiful, the spoken word can be listened to and another important factor is introduced - Film footage. Recorded documentary evidence is readily available. WWII was the first really documented war in terms of media. Propaganda was heavily employed and newsreels were used for morale boosting purposes as well as training, intelligence, subterfuge and deception.

The main protagonists in WWII were of course the Nazis and their Allies and the British, Americans and Soviets along with their Allied Nations. Whilst it can be easily understood that a re-enactor would wish to portray a Tommy, a G.I or even an Ivan - some folk may have difficulty getting to grips with the reasons behind someone wanting to portray a solider of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy or Imperialist Japan. The immediate assumption may be that the person doing so glorifies in Right wing idealism and may be inclined towards those extremist views. This is not so. Whilst it is fact that such people do still exist, they are seldom it at all to be found engaging in bona fide, organised re-enactments of the type undertaken by the rank and file re-enactors. Why? The reason is simple. The people engaged in this hobby are military and historical enthusiasts, Collectors of Militaria, Restorers and Operators of Military Vehicles, Modellers and photographers. The furthest thing from an Axis Re-enactor's mind is rekindling the flames of racism, genocide and hatred. There is a great awareness of these factors and as a result, an Axis re-enactor will usually be very well informed and if questioned, able to discuss the Holocaust, it's cause and effect and the resulting aftermath with the interested party. Just as a British or American re-enactor will research his or her unit's history, campaigns, deployment, uniform and equipment scales of issue etc., a German re-enactor will be able to tell the observer all about his/her chosen unit and associated detail.

What usually attracts a person to portraying "The Dark Side" is not a love of Hitler or a fetish for leather as is often portrayed in the gutter press. German industry and science has for centuries been seen as efficient, functional and innovative. If an individual kerns towards the technical side of things, he or she will inevitable be drawn towards design, functionality and innovation! This can be summed up in the pre war German products such as Mercedes Benz motor cars, the great Airships of the Zeppelin Company, aircraft manufacture, cameras, optics... the list is exhaustive.

War is not only a cruel and devastating phenomenon. It also pushes technological development far beyond normal bounds. German scientists and engineers developed some of the most astounding machines and devices which are still being used today, be they in their original form or as modern derivatives. Sitting and talking with many "German" re-enactors, the author has found that one common theme which runs through the community is that of admiration for the superb design and technology employed by Germans during WWII. Germans designed the first General Purpose machine Gun, culminating in the MG42 which is still unsurpassed as the best fixed barrel belt fed machine gun in the world. Germans built submarines and developed schnorkel technology. Germans developed jet aircraft and guided missiles. Germans perfected all arms combat using mixed battlegroup tactics - Something employed by all armies today. Germans developed and issued purpose made camouflage garments. Germans perfected the assault rifle and were the first to issue them in great numbers. The German Army of the Third Reich was, without doubt the most fearsome, professional and successful army known to the World to date. It was beaten by not by poor leadership within the Officer Corps. It was decimated by a crazed leader, political infighting and sheer weight of numbers from the combined forces of the Allies. The German Soldier as a result suffered immediately post war as a result of propaganda and the shame of being linked to several sets of the greatest atrocities then perpetrated on mankind. The German Soldier was stereotyped as a Nazi beast and therefore shrank back into the shadows to suffer the same enforced guilt as the rest of his nation. Not for him the parades and medals of the victors. Not for many of them even, a pension!

German Soldiers did number amongst their ranks, ardent Nazis. But the greater number were ordinary Germans. Blinded or duped or simply patriotic enough to enlist, be conscripted or volunteer to server their country just like the men arrayed against them. Today it is easy to sit and examine the vile policies and events perpetrated in the Name of National Socialism and tar the Germans of that era all with the same broad brush. Whilst we must NEVER forget and never attempt to excuse the forced deportations, torture, industrialised murder, terror and other atrocities carried out in the name of Adolf Hitler and his Germany, we must now, in the 21st century, look back at ordinary Germans and without unduly sympathising or lessening the events of the 1940s, look at the suffering of the unwilling Germans. We must re-examine the part played by ordinary men who never saw a death camp or a hanging. Never herded families onto trains. Never smashed in doors in the dead of night and beat the inhabitants into revealing the names of resistance fighters etc. We must look at people such as the veterans we have found in the UK and abroad who were young boys, full of life and ideals. Who took up arms for what they genuinely believed was a noble cause until it all crashed down around them. They were let down. They were deceived by the Nazis too... They did not see memorials built to them. They went back to live in a Germany that didn't want to know. That hid them away or ignored them. Families didn't ask "What did you do in the war Opa?" because schools taught children that the War was a bad time and should be forgotten. Many men never went back to Germany and the author has personally heard many say "There was nothing left for me to go back to"

So it is completely strange that in the countries which fought the hardest against them and had the most to lose from them that people today, research their uniforms, their lives, their weapons and tactics. People rebuild their tanks and cars. People learn their language and then they get together and recreate tiny, sanitised slices of their experiences... ultimately for enjoyment if we are honest. For a hobby, a pastime. But just beneath the surface of that is not a dark desire to build a Fourth Reich, nor does it need justifying ...It is a fascination and ultimately a tribute to two diametrically opposed things. One - the men who lost. And Two - the system that won and is libertarian enough to allow us to actually portray those who, 60'odd years ago now, would for good or for bad, have changed the face of the world to something we can only speculate upon.

So next time you see an SS trooper, a Fallschirmjager or an Army Panzergrenadier and you think "tosser" Just take a moment. What you are looking at is primarily, a hobbyist. Just like the centurion at the ice cream van, the Pikeman in the beer tent or the MVT enthusiast driving his jeep around in flip flops and shorts... The man you are looking at is an enthusiast, not a wannabee or a walt. He is the same as the hang glider pilot, the water skier, the deep sea fisherman. He has an interest and dares to be different. He's not in town getting drunk and fighting. He's there at the event you are attending, enjoying himself and giving many other people the opportunity to share with him something unique and ultimately educational. He's also preserving something that will eventually be lost and consigned to newsreel footage and subjectively written books.. He also draws a fascinating parallel. As with the soldiers facing each other in 1939-45 - He is a man just like you and me ... nothing else.

5:35 Those poor lambs! D: What're they doing out there!? They're like "WTF's going on!"

The whole place was covered in sheep and new lambs. There was one with a broken leg so one of the guys picked him up and took him to the rest of the sheep  :'(

Was a good one though

Two days delivery. And it's worth every penny, especially if you are just buying it for the fun of it. If you are a re-enactor, there are some very expensive blades or even originals...But this one certainly does the job.

Yes. Do want. Historically, who would have used these?

Is $104 a good or bad price, for a sword?


Also, Duuring (or someone who knows what it really translates to)...

This Säbelart belonged to the standard equipment of European armies from around the 1780th In Britain, for example, it was the cavalry model 1796, and in Prussia it was the Model 1811 (commonly known as "Blucher saber"). Original copies are popular collector's items. For citizens Garden or theatrical purposes that copy was created, which has strikingly original. Like the original, the sword is (in the vagina sticking) a total of 98 inches long (95.5 cm without scabbard). These dimensions are measured with tape measure around the bend but straight. Total weight 1750 g

It means when it's in the scrabbard.

104 euro is a pretty good price. Also depends on what you are planning to do with it. Historically, the Prussian, Dutch, British and presumably some German states used this model. Not sure why - It's a very crude weapon.

If you are planning to, promise me this; Start taking horse riding lessons for 3 to six months AT LEAST, and then make that decision.

This will A. Learn you if you are a horse-person and more importantly B. Set you apart from all the other guys who keep shouting AW GEWD I WANNA DO CAV. Cavalry regiments will appreciate that.
And C. of course it's handy to be able to ride.

Indeed. It turns-out I know some people who have a horse at the local stable. They said they'd help me try riding it. So if I don't end-up getting sea(horse?)-sick, then who knows, maybe I'll try taking lessons there.

The curved blade is especially very sexy.

Munk, I think he meant the fact that the term 'trooper' was used in basicly every period of war. Including ACW and Napoleonics.
Now, I've been wondering for a long time...Are you a re-enactor? xD

also there is no "trooper" in ACW. Calvery was Called
there is A. Cavalry
            B. Mountetd Infantry
and thats it NO TROOPER!.

A trooper is the cavalry equivalent of a private.

I'm not one for horses. Or animals. D:

Them horses will fuck you up if you're not careful on the reenacting field. However, at the same time, it's such a shame there's no infantry vs cavalry fighting in ACW. Same shit, different event. It's why I prefer private battles, tacticals, or campaigner events.

Artillery barrage
Cavalry fight
Skirms take potshots
Lines trade volleys, but (hardly) anyone goes down and stays down

U guys have had an active day it seems,just got back from a day out in at a lake int he bush :) HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

Just reading "Red Coat Dreaming: How Colonial Australia Embraced the British Army"

The Marines bound for Australia loudly objected when their rum ration couldnt be guaranteed in the settlement of New South Wales. The NSW Corps mutined in 1808 and replaced Govenor WIlliam Bligh when he tried to stop Rum being used by the Corps officers as a replacement for money. Another seriouse problem occured when the 58th and 99th regiments in 1845 protested when their rum rations was stopped- the protest was so seriouse that the 11th regiment was called from Tasmania, and on landing at Sydney's Circular Quar, fixed bayonets and marched on the town barracks.

I agree.

At Waterloo, the 8eme always starts singing Le chant de Depart. The other regiments quickly follows, but the 8eme doesn't take the pauses in between the verses - Leading to a second difference between them and the other singers.

Sounds pretty awful.

I know Napoleon stripped La Marseillaise of it's status as the national anthem, but I've never heard of it being banned until the restoration. Even if it was, I distinctly recall some memoirs relating how it was commonly sung on the march.

I've always been told that it was officially forbidden, but it was reculant allowed and sometises ordered played by generals and marshals, because the song was still very popular and it brought out the old fighting spirit from the revolution.

Napoleon is said to have ordered it played after the battle of Austerlitz - but I don't know if that's just a legend or a fact.

The best napoleonic french song has to be the song of the onion, we charged the brit lines last year singing it

Also, this is really late, but Lankdrik, I saw you asked for the link to the Prussian unit(s) here, so here its:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/293340354077092/
They portray Pomeranian Landwehr, Silesian Musketeers/Fusiliers, and Silesian Reservists. Though they don't many members yet.
It doesn't seem that they have an actual website either...

If it makes you happy; I'm on a train to home atm. Had only about 10 hours of sleep (Thats from Fridaymorning after I woke up that morning), so I'm almost falling asleep, but if I take a nap, I'll so miss my station.xD

Well i arrived at Lithgow on the 19/04/2013, the tell-tale signs of a living history festival, the local area had cars everywhere, the petrol station had guys in a mixture of medieval gear walking arround their cars. The weather was grey and cold, the friday was a no public day so everyone was setting up their respective camps. After i had set up my tent and everyn else had we had to register and got the rosters for what was going on etc. the french forces consisted of the; 21eme 3rd Btn ,Old Guard , Marine artillery, Irish legion Volt/Gren , 51eme , Young guard skirmishers, 69e Volt , 3e Dragoons , 7th Hussars..British forces consistered of; 73rd regiment, 95th rifles, 92nd Highlanders (their officer is dutch and moved to Australia last year), 42nd Highlanders, 40th regiment, Sandhams battery RA , Royal Marines, 7th Dutch land militia, Leib battalion, Prussian militia, 15th Hussars, NSW Yeomanry Dragoons, 102nd Regiment.Number for the event where ok, with around 200ish showing up. Friday night we in the 21eme had Red rooster :) as we didint know diner was being served on that night. The rest of Friday night was spent round the fire, talking about stuff.
I had gone to bed around 1:00am and woke up at 3:30am due to it just being too cold in my tent, i went to tend to the fire,i than curled up and kept it alive as the -14 C tempertaure and heavy winds went through the camp. The Horns of the medieval chaps went off at 5:30am and woke everyone else up, The 7th dutch went about the task of making breakfast and us in the 21eme chopped wood for the fire, The Dutch officer from the 92nd used his kilt to to start the fire, a highlanders bellows he called it. The camp slowly started comming to life,as the horses where taken out and the 95th ran round the field and the french got their kit on. at around 9:30am the festivl opened to the public, we had a mass fire demonstration on in front of the crowds and the french consul general to Australia and two french senators and 50 or so veterans,including a former marshall of France. After the mass fire demonstration in which the 1:1 Scale 12 pounders hurt our ears we marched off to camp, where we where met by the French Delegation, they pinned the Legion 'D Honour on our Seargent, Gavin Jones (founding member of the 21eme in Australia, reenactor for 30 or so years) and talked to us. we then had a skirmish in which the situation was presented that we where a small force of french infatry delegated with the task of holding onto a town/barricade as the french forces retreated from Waterloo,We fought of 3 Waves of infatntry, Allied-Highlander-English and won the skirmish. This went for 30-40 minutes, the next battle was a few hours later in which we had to hold the same position, but this time with practically no ammunition and vursing british artillery, we left the left barricade and focused on the center, but before we knew it the royal marines had captured the little barricade,  the battle was the best and we had to abandon the field as we got outflanked and picked off. Saturday night, or drinking night as its called in reenacting circles lived up t its name. with the guys from the dutch militia picking a fight with the Viking chaps and a fight broke out. Sunday morning was an early one as a popular morning show came to the event to film live, everyone got their gear on and all none correct stuff was hidden. WE spent the morning doing a small skirmish with the british and then doing drill/fatigue. The next skirmish went much the same as the saturday , except that as the 73rd charged our barricade the dutch unit ran off and stabed the british liason officer with them, they where sent back into the battle by some officers of the 73rd xD ,one but the next battle was the best ive ever been in. Even the Foreign people who had traveled from the US and EU for the event said it was on of the best.
The battle started off with us forming a line on the flank of our artillery their fore ambanding the barricade on our flank, we formed up and began our volley firing, it was crisp and perfect, the effort put into drill showing. We fought off the 73rd but then noticed a dutch head occupying out barricade, the old guard and grenadiers of the 21eme where sent to take the 2-3 expected dutch, as they apraoched how ever, 30 dutch and 20 odd brunswickers popped up and presented arms, the grenadier stopped and in a single volley wher wiped out. the allied units then formed up, fixed bayonets and slowly charge towards our artillery, at that moment the British 8-pounders opened up and wiped out the Irish Legion. The 3e Dragoons managed to make the the dutch form square as we sent the Volt units to block the allied units, but the dragoons had to fall back, as we where all looking at the dutch ambush we hadnt noticed how close the british units had got, our colonel orderd us to form square and fix bayonets, we had almost formed when the dutch/prussians/brunzwickers broke through our square, we tried to whole the front but the young guard broke and ran, the 73rd and 95th broke our line and wiped out the Arty crews, a melee battle started and we where called to lower our arms as the 7th hussars rescued our eagle and left the field. only 3 survived including me, a survivor of the old guard, a school principal, baymet charge the British colonel and killed him :) . but the he was shot, us prisoners where lined up and taken as the wounder where shot,actually quite interesting, we then all got up slowly as the crowd in the grandstand and around the field sat up and cheered, it was amazing, we then marched around the field with drums etc as we where cheered, We then when back to camp, talked to by out officers, cleaned our weapons and finished off the day.


This is only a summary really, can post more but sleepy :)  sorry for spelling errors  ;D

While I'm absolutely not against female re-enactors, this woman does such an awful, awful and unprofessional job.

I mean, let's analyze is fully professional:

- She wears a regular jacket with no musician wings
- Her bandolier is missing the drumstick-holder
- SHE WEARS A GODDAMN SKIRT.

Honestly, if you don't even bother getting a pair of pants, you shouldn't get on the field.

PS: I wonder why those two Miliciens have tucked their pantaloons into the gaiters, while every source and regulations says they were to be left hanging over.

My thoughts exactly.

And as for the gaiters, I would presume it's because they look cooler that way, imo. I dunno. But of course, we all know how well regulations were normally followed.  ;)
Besides, I think gaitors are warmer when worn that way. It may have been cold out.

Though I frown a little upon non-re-enactors telling re-enactors what to do, Jocam does have a point.

I love how the 7th got in a fight. Against vikings.

WWI at Newville was pretty damn good. Didn't get as many pictures as I would like and I was the only one taking pictures except for the one my brother took of me and the one of the camp taken by another in our regiment.

Pre-engagement Axis meeting. There were about 300-400 people total at this reenactment, even people coming over from Eastern Europe doing Austro-Hungarian and Brits doing Brits. :P This picture doesn't even get the people to the left, where there were many more. I'd say about 200~ people, with those who had to be sleeping in or coming into the trenches later for sure.

I have to say, doing the huge Axis push as well as fending off against allies in close quarters was amazing and being able to work on trenchworks was actually pretty damn fun and a much better way of passing the time than looking off into no-mans-land for movement. We did a bit of no-mans-land raiding this time as well, but the moon was waxing and made it hard to hide unlike last November when it was nearly a new moon. Our little party got captured and brought in, the Americans not finding any sawtooth bayonets on us let us live, but we were processed in the rear by a Tommy who spoke German with us. I'm glad my German was able to keep up with him and give simple answers.

WWI is a very diverse reenactment with plenty of living history as well as fierce combat involved. It really pushes you to want to make your uniform, kit, and overall impression much more stronger! Love it.

My event in Almelo was simply great. It was well-organized, the visitors were super friendly, the battle was a lot of fun (Sunday, I died, then came back alive more or less, and crawled back to my line, holding onto my carbine. The public loved it.). The event was around 200 men and it was very international. We had groups from Britian (41st foot and Royal Artillery), Germany (KGL, 127e), France and Belgium, and of course the Netherlands. I can't possibly remember them all  :P

The atmosphere was surprisingly great - I even joined a night patrol of Dutch sailors (and we all deserted) and we had a rowing trip on the water, which was pretty genius as well as rather scary  ::). Particular one moment was great; Friday night, in the partytent, just after the music had stopped. People were still talking, and then someone started to sing the Chant de Depart, and one by one people joined, till pretty much half the tent or more was singing.
And after that song, a General, a very sympathetic German named Gunter, stepped forward, raised his bicorn and said: "Mon enfants! Allons enfant de la patrie...." and everybody joined La Marseillaise, and then the General shouted Vive L'empereur! And we all replied: "Vive L'empereur!" This was done two or three times, and it felt fantastic. The British replied with their 'God save the king! Huzzah!" and some friendly insults were thrown at each other. Even a few Orangists shouted 'Oranje boven!'

Saturday night we sang songs with other Dutch and Germans, and shared a bowl of soup (at 11:30 pm  :P) with some Belgians/French, as well as once again singing songs. Especially the meeting with those Belgians/French, the 1er Grenadiers, was awesome. Why? Because because we spoke barely French, and they spoke barely English or Dutch. We just used sign language and some simple words, and had a great time.

I could fill this box with all the great things that happened, but I think the sphere is something barely understandable in words.

One fun thing that happened after the battle of Sunday had ended: I had gotten 'wounded' in the arm (I crawled back a few times to try and be taken prisoner, and eventually some Orange Militia inspected the death. I rose up and presented myself to one of the Orangists, and he told me: "Well, get yourself to the rear. And go serve a sovereign ruler, instead of that imperial Rubbish!"

I went to my first event at Neshaminy last weekend on Saturday and Sunday. First day wasn't that good because of a disappointing tactical. Saturday night was really cold, it went down to 35°F. But the second day was great, we stacked arms in front of the crowd and got ambushed by the Rebs. We formed a line but got pushed back a long way into the edge of the woods. We had a last stand while the Confederates charged at us. Was an awesome experience for my first event, now I'm really excited for Chancellorsville coming up in two weeks!  ;D

Here is a video my captain put up of the reenactment

The napoleonic age is quite famous for its tight pants. The ACW was all 'meh let's get comfy'  :P

Considering this man is wearing his white pantaloons (intended for parade) instead of the overalls (for campaign), he really shouldn't have this much 'slobbing'.

Incredible nicely made - Even though it makes Quatre-bras the good ol' redcoat vs French battle with the duke in command. Technically not wrong, but a bit...simplistic.

Still, the shellexplosion is great, especially when you hear the officers shouting ON AVANT after impact.  ;D

Just had a Memorial Dedication Service Today. Our company was honored to be part of colour guard for Son of Union Veterans of the Civil War.

This event was special because they successfully replaced brand new headstones for 30 Civil War Veterans buried at Mt. Greenwood.

The service was beautifully done and very patriotic.  (I believe we were reciting the pledge of US around 3-4 time)

Oh he is a cool story. The breif version is he was born in Massachusetts and was working in New Hampshire when Sumter happened. 2 days after Sumter fell he enlisted for 90 days and served in Company H 1st New Hampshire. After this enlistment expired he enlisted as a Cpl in the 24th Massachusetts (New England Guards). in 1862 he server in North Carolina in 63 South Carolina 64 Florida and in 1865 his regiment garissened Richmond. During his stay he was offered to be the New commandant of Libby Prison after it was taken over by the Union. He served as wardan untill he was mustered out. During his career he rose from the rank of Private to Captain.

He moved out west on the 70th's and was blown to smithereens in a mining accident in California.

I own a couple letters from him. Apparently he had 2 other brothers who server. One server in the Navy while another was in another massachusets regiment. Apparently his brothers regiment got so chewed up it was mustered out. I dont know much about these 2 brothers for they were only mentioned in letters.

I don't know much about my ancestors military past other than some of them in WWI, I do know though that 2 of my great grandfathers (both called John) signed the Posse Comitatus act, here is a little history about that:
Under the Defence of the Realm Act , lists known as "Posse Comitatus" lists and "Levee en Masse" lists were made in 1798 and 1803/04 respectively. These Defence Lists, despite their name, were not lists of those intended for military service. Their intention was to organise reserves of men not already serving in a military capacity for the defence of Britain against a French invasion. They would have been needed to evacuate the civilian population, remove wildstock and crops from the path of the invaders, gather arms and equipment and deal with food supplies to the forces and civilian population.

So in 1798, my great grandfathers were a part of this initiative. Other than that I don't really know my family's 19th Century & 18th Century military lives. Admittedly though I know almost nothing about my mothers side of the family except some of them came to Britain from Germany in the 1860's before the unification.

Gents....more specifically, Napoleon Gents....I have a question for you guys.

Just as of now, I was watching Waterloo on youtube. I never use movies as my historical scource. However one scene made me raise a eyebrow and wondering if this true? I tried to look it up but I'm not that well aware of Napoleonic events. I assumed they were Old Guards because they looked like Grognards and the bearskin hat. Plus I've read somewhere a officer told a British officer that "Old guards dies but does not surrender"

Of course not. The last square of the Old Guard was destroyed by German infantry supported by British cavalry.

It was also Cambronne that delivered Cambronne's word (Merde!), not Ney. Neither died at Waterloo.

Post by: Mr T on May 01, 2013, 08:33:48 am
Technically it were the Middle Guard who had advanced on the Allied position in the first place with one or two battalions of the Old, the proper Old Guard was the 1er Chasseurs and 1er Grenadiers, the 2e Grenadiers and Chasseurs were also a part of the Old Guard. A battalion of the 2e Grenadiers and another of the 2e Chasseurs were at Planchenoit while the 1er Chasseurs were guarding the Le Cailou farm.

When the French army disintegrated, the remaining squares of the Old Guard formed square and marched off the battlefield in good order, the most notable squares were of the 1er Grenadiers who fought off repeated attacks of allied cavalry and Napoleon himself was inside one of these squares, as for this scene from Waterloo I believe its supposed to show the sacrifice of the Middle Guard, though all those batteries are completely inaccurate many of the Middle Guard squares who had fallen back from the Allied ridge formed again and formed a weak defence against the now advancing allies, many soldiers of the Middle Guard died then, and it was Cambronne who Allegedly shouted Merde! or La Garde meurt mes ne se rend pas! however he later denied saying either of these words. And in fact Cambronne did surrender to the allies after he was captured in the square he was in, quite a few other Guard Generals were also captured.

But yeah, that scene is definitely inaccurate to what actually happened.

It's worth mentioning that there apparantly was no middle guard during the 100 days. There was young and there was old.

Indeed, the 1er Grens&Chass and the 2e Grens&Chass were part of the Old Guard, the 3eGrens&Chass and 4e Grens&Chass were considered Middle Guard, however the Divisions were formed in the order of their type. So the Old Guard Grenadier Division contained all the battalions of all four regiments of the Guard Grenadiers including the 3e and 4e, the same goes for the Chasseurs.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on May 01, 2013, 06:14:25 pm
Apparantly officers and NCO's of the Dutch 3eme Grenadiers were actually old guard, the men remaining middle.

The (re)raised 3e and 4e in 1815 were thus considered fully Old Guard, but it's of course questionable if they had the same standards (and uniformity) of the 1er.

Only the officers of the Dutch Grenadiers were Old Guard, everyone else was Middle Guard. It was only the N.C.O.'s (above and excluding Corporal) of the Fusiliers, 2nd Grenadiers and 2nd Chasseurs that were Old Guard, at least in regards to Middle Guard regiments.

It's worth bearing in mind that probably 80% of the trees on the battlefield were remove during the 20th century. It was quite heavily forested during the battle.

I know, but even looking at maps, the forested areas seem to be south of hougomont, Mont-saint-jean and around Placenoit.

Still, it is totally fine for me to wear Wehrmacht Uniforms, but do I really have to wear SS Uniforms? Do I have to reenact that part of the German population that is responsible for most of the crimes?
Reenacting is, in my opinion, also keeping the guys in honor that really were soldiers back then. I don't think that I want to keep the SS in honor. No. That is stupid. I am fine with everything, but I do not need to reenact as SS. No one is reenacting Hitler aswell, right? At least I have never heard of anyone reenacting Hitler. That would be plain stupid.

It would be nice if you could give some additional info...you know...  :P

A small update on my Hussar Impression:

I'm going to collect some patterns next weeks, and a member of En Vedette (the cavalry group) will buy me my leather asap. The fabric for the clothing I will order presumably later this month.

The leather gear is also in 'pre-order', and even horse gear is going faster then anticipated. The waltrap (http://www.envedette.nl/images/schabrak.jpg) is in the making, and I even may already getting the proper saddle.

Still, it is totally fine for me to wear Wehrmacht Uniforms, but do I really have to wear SS Uniforms? Do I have to reenact that part of the German population that is responsible for most of the crimes?
Reenacting is, in my opinion, also keeping the guys in honor that really were soldiers back then. I don't think that I want to keep the SS in honor. No. That is stupid. I am fine with everything, but I do not need to reenact as SS. No one is reenacting Hitler aswell, right? At least I have never heard of anyone reenacting Hitler. That would be plain stupid.
At Detling 2 years ago there was someone dressed as hitler and look very much like him

SS no , Waffen SS all fine :)

A filing clerk behind a desk in Berlin wearing Steingrau has a better chance of getting through WW2 with clean hands than a conscripted Volksdeutsche with runes on his m43 riding on an eastbound Orel.

But for some reason when you turn up to a reenactment dressed like a faceless drone in a massive state bureaucracy, ready to fill out mountains of paperwork for fun, people think you're nuts.

I lol'd. :D

Waffen SS did fight and there were war crimes committed by them. A lot of stories I read were of how either they were invaluable tools on the battlefield and/or complete dicks. Mostly dicks.

But there was the same fervor for why someone would join the SS as to why someone would want to join the USMC. They were considered the best and there are those who want to fight with the best.

At the same time, most foreign volunteer divisions were designated as SS. So when you get a bunch of Ukrainian SS roaming about in Russia, I would not be surprised in the lightest if they were to flat out not take prisoners or kill locals who were working with the Russians. It was one of the means to an end actions taken by the OKW because of the need for manpower.

Should they be reenacted? Thugs who shared uniforms with nationalistic youths? I think, most definitely. I'm one of those Heer reenactors who thinks Heer is not done enough, but I'm not out for eradicating the SS units because you have guys who want the cool camo, uniforms, and toys.

You drop, screaming and wait for your line to move, to get up again.

Or you crawl back holding onto your musket. Which is pretty fun to do, and the audience loves it.

hehehe, well. That is the only thing I dislike then :).

With airsoft (That I played) you have a stupid range, stupid sounds and no gun effects but the idea of fighting with actual skills knowing when you get hit (Goes the same for paintball) pleases me :).

Reenacting looks 100000x cooler though!

Fighting, and dying, is only a small part of Re-enactment. With Airsoft, it's entirely based around the fighting and the dying, with means that airsoft=/=Re-enactment.

Worth every penny but yes.

 As a word out there whne you decided to take a perma hit dont stay dead. Wounded on the battlefield represented a majority of bodies during a battle and from what ive seen is underrepresented in reenacting.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on May 03, 2013, 10:33:10 pm
It depends on what you re-enact. The basic infantryman, with some help from your group, is very payable.

The fancier you dress, the expensiver it gets. My hussar dress will easily reach the 2000 euro, and that's without horserent and horsegear.

I prefer getting wounded because you still 'take part' of the battle.

And its more comfortable than the backpack :)

I've got a question for them re-enectors:

Is the hierarchy strong, or is it just some stripes on a man's sleeve because the unit is supposed to have them for the accuracy?
And, if yes, does it last after battle, or do ranks only matter in the field?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on May 08, 2013, 01:20:04 pm
NCO's and officers have a roll in the field, but also in camp. They are the organizers and keep things together, as well as going to officers meetings and the like. Don't underestimate their roll on the field, by the way. They are responsible for everybody and must take grasp of any given situation - Kinda like on those days, with the difference we are actually trying to NOT get anyone killed.
Can't say the hierachy is strong, because NCO's and officers are often elected to take that roll, so everybody is okay with it. And they do a good job, otherwise they wouldn't be elected!

The problem comes when officers and NCO's of a regiment issue orders to another regiment, without that regiments consent. It's especially bad when it's concerning generals and their staff.

*role

But Duuring has it right. There are only a few times where I've had issues with other officers and NCOs and that's when they were trying to give my guys orders. Most notable instances being charged with picket duty or smaller unit actions, even with things around camp. That's when we tell them to fuck off in a polite way if we don't agree with what they're doing.

I've got a question for ACW reenactors (either side): Why do most units seem to prefer forage caps over kepis? Is it a matter of historical accuracy? Comfort? Useability? What?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Millander on May 09, 2013, 04:55:22 pm
historical accuracy. Federal Infantryman were almost universality issued these. Many officers even wore them. I believe the CS privates wore some kepis but primarily slouches and bee hives. Of course im not an expert on federal stuff and definitively not on Confederate.

Honestly, people who portray high officers or even generals and never (or even can) ride horses annoy me a bit. Of course,  I won't tell them how to do their impression, but at least at the big battles and if they portray those people all the time, they really ought to be mounted.

Hi chaps, (sorry for double post)

Just thought i would clarify about my current reenactment status due to the numerous PM's,, and a steam conversations with one or two of you, I have until the foreseeable future "retired" from reenacting, this is largely due to Personal reasons and the way life is at the moment, i still have my gear/guns, and will probably go to 1-2 events later in the year,,as a member of the public. Its been a great time and will still be here, holding the banner of the Australasian Living history community, in what i like to call our little outpost.

I especially thank Duuring, who has been a great friend,and been there for our late night conversations :) , since i joined the TW community in early 2011.

Best regards
zac

Well, without the class three permits we're just a bunch of "ancient clackity ol' single shot bolt action rifles".

You know there's those moments when you just have to go into your reenacting room and just lay in a pile of wool embracing the smell of "the field".

Lol nice picture zac.

Millander, your gum blanket is dirty, dammit. Mine is still snow white clean. I used it 1 time though. It was funny because It was a marching event in Janurary. Snow was still around. So, some pards laid up their blanket to sit on, I put down mine and it was so white that it matched the snow. A pard joked, I think your gum blanket is invisble! Another said, Did it just flew away or something?  >:(

There's something very serious and proffesional in a full-packed ACW soldier.

Ground cover, to sleep on. It's waterproof so you can see how helpful it is as a layered between you and the wet ground.

Also is a raincoat

Yesterday I was in "Gersdorf", a small village. I only have a few pics, so forgive me.

But the event was really great.
Around 30 Prussians and 15 Russians against 50 Saxons and 40 Frenchs. In two Fights we tried to defend this little village. Myself helped a surgeon to transport the wounded soldiers and to buld a stonewall in only 20 Minutes.

Here the stonewall and all Prussians:

To the fights: the first was on the field and we retreated back to the Village and fought very well. It toke 90 minutes.
Thesecond was fought around two big farmsteads. We defended them very well, but we had to surrender.  :-[

Just came back from a two-hours cavalry training. Eight people, half in modern outfit, half in uniform.

It was awesome. Weather was good, horses were great, only my horse(rental, btw) was afraid of sabres so I couldn't join until the last rounds after I switched horses and borrowed a sabre.

So, two lines of 4 people charging trough eachother. First step, then trot, first few sabre clashes, and eventually we did a controlled gallop without clashing sabres. Damn, riding in a gallop over a field, sabre in hand... I honestly had to control myself not to charge all out. It's just so epic.

Oh and of course we trained formations etc too  ;)

"If the only lesson we can learn from history is to ignore it and it will almost certainly come around again. Denying the Nazis their 'impact' in history is just asking for a repeat performance."

"To deny the re-enactment of these units is much like denying that the Holocaust happened. People need to see this, they need to see that such horror can be dressed in a smart uniform and strut around. These people are just as important as the Battle of Britain Flights or the Cenotaph... They serve a purpose they continue to remind us that not all Germans were Nazis..."

love this

"The guys in the first two pictures that you have labelled SS are in fact Luftwaffe officers. Because they are wearing leather coats/jackets doe's not make them SS. The guy in the 3rd picture is portraying an SS officer. I attended Haworth on both days and only saw two SS out of thousands of visitors. Are we to ban Medieval re-enactment because Edward 1st ordered Jews wear a marking badge to denote there religion?. Doe's the reenacting of the great old British Tommy because it was the British who "invented" concentration camps??...Sensationalism reporting at its best..."

about right;

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Fluent talkers, Geminis spend most of their reenacting careers as self-appointed authenticity experts. They bore other reenactors with their constant suggestions, advice and opinions. If you've been asked to leave an event because your shoelaces aren't correct, you've probably just met a Gemini event sponsor.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: König on May 23, 2013, 03:43:12 am
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22): This is the sign of the prissy, goody two-shoes fussbag who objects to swearing, smoking and farting in camp. Most of the Virgo-born, therefore, attend events in hotels. Natives of this sign iron creases in their trowsers and wear shiny brass. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a Virgo.

Well, I do think farting should be kept the a minimum...
Smoking, if it must be done, should be historically accurate. Same with swearing.
Though I'm generally against staying in hotels during events.

Post by: munky-wunky on May 23, 2013, 04:43:47 am
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): People born under this sign think themselves versatile but are really a pain. While they can galvanize, they aren't wanted by either side. Sagittarians also reenact other periods and drive reenactors crazy by recounting past Revy War events at Civil War weekends and Civil War events at Revy War weekends. They love specialized impressions and are often seen dressed in naval garb at land battle events.

well im not sure if this one is right,  cus i dont specialized impression nor do i do more than one type of impression  :(

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22): In many ways the worst of the lot. Scorpio natives are control fanatics and usually become event sponsors or staff officers. On a unit level, these are the guys with the little books and the hourly formations. If you hear someone shouting "Quiet in the Ranks!" you're probably hearing a native of this sign. John Wilkes Booth was a Scorpio

Saturday 25th May 1813:
The French arrived on the battlefield first, formed in two lines with the 21e in the first and 45e & 85e in the second. The Emperor gave a rousing speech and the cries of "Vive L'Empereur!" reverberated across the battlefield. The troops then advanced to their positions.
The French forces were vastly outnumbered by the Allied forces, but they were commanded by Napoleon himself, in him was the sure belief of victory! Two artillery pieces were positioned behind a small system of barricades with the tricolour flying overhead, on their right was a small detachment of American soldiers acting as skirmishers. The centre consisted of the 21eme Regiment de Infanterie de Ligne and on the left were the 45e and 85e. The infantry was formed in line of battle to the left and rear of the artillery. The Allied forces against us included the British and a unit of Black Brunswickers, they had at their disposal two artillery pieces and 2 rockets. A river withheld the British from advancing in force, they had to cross a ford to their left that allowed about 2 regiments in column across at a time.
The battle initiated as the two sides sent forward their voltiguers and skirmishers, the Allies had the upper hand in numbers as dozens of rifles spread across the field, the Americans on the French right kept up a lively fire against a large rifle group advancing on them. The French managed to inflict casualties upon the rifles and even one of the artillery crew manning a cannon, who were forced to retire. The rifles, being fired upon by the faster loading French and the barricaded artillery, and now threatened by the advancing 85e and 45e, were forced to retire a distance as the first line regiments marched across the ford, bagpipes playing. The French infantry advanced as the skirmishers returned to the line, the 85e and 45e marched left to guard against an infantry attack there from Dutch infantry, the 21e advanced in the centre against the bulk of the Allied infantry which was now formed after crossing the river. A fire fight took place as the 21e inflicted heavy casualties upon the enemy, this lasted several minutes, then the Allies attempted a close combat assault as the Dutch charged on the left and a British Regiment advanced up the centre. The Dutch fought valiantly but were defeated, the British regiment in the centre was shot to pieces by the 21e and then the regiment charged to clear up what was left. With these charges defeated the 85e and 45e advanced while the 21e charged a company of rifles, killing many and the division commander accepted the surrender of the Captain of the rifles, the infamous CHUMLEY!
The 21e then reformed and, as a Scots regiment advanced on them, counter charged the Scots overcoming them. But alas! I Scot officer had entered the left flank, he cut me in the arm and I fell wounded! The regiment then advanced upon the Allied artillery and accepted their surrender, the battle was won!

Sunday 26th May 1813:
The French broke camp at around 1500 hours, after reaching some distance from the camp the brigade formed column par section and marched down to the battlefield singing En passant par la Lorraine, it was awesome!
As we reached the boundary line of the battlefield, a rope that was being stepped on for the column to walk over, we continued singing and marching in good spirits, little knowing of the foul omen that was to come. As the first section of the column reached the rope, suddenly some fool must've let their foot off the rope, for it sprang up right in front of the section and almost tripping them up entirely, the column lost cohesion and abruptly stopped, interrupting the singing and the column. The column advanced into the battlefield and formed a line of battle. The Allies dispersed a swarm of rifles to harass our forces, after having to suffer from their fire for a couple minutes the 21e sent forth a force of skirmishers, our skirmishers were forced to duck down as the line regiment fired volleys at the rifles. It was then that the skirmishers were recalled to re-join the line and the regiment advanced, many of the rifles noticed their danger and withdrew, however a company on the left flank did not see the 21e advancing on their flank, bayonets lowered for the charge. The regiment cried "Vive l'Empereur" as they advanced on the rifles, who swiftly withdrew from our swift and loud advance. 
The regiment however had to then act swiftly as the Allied infantry had advanced up and was preparing to begin volley fire. After reassuming a central position, the 21e returned fire, casualties were taken. The Allied centre began to advance after the French left flank had been forced to fall back, the troops intended to charge us, knowing we could not fight 2 fresh regiments we began marching backwards as they marched towards us, they soon gave up the charge and halted, fortunately they had not loaded before advancing upon us. We too halted a short distance away and began returning fire once more, it was here that the Caporal in front of me ducked down as the Allies fired a volley, me and another soldier in our squad were killed and the regiment withdrew. I don't know what happened after we died, though as I was laying there and the Brits advanced, a Rifleman crouched next to me and looted my corpse saying "You got any Euros Frenchie!". I found it remarkable he didn't know that we used francs...   

Well that's all I remember for now, I'm a little tired so excuse any mistakes.
And now photo's, sorry for any blurry ones that might be!

Sounds awesome Mr_T.

Next re-enactment for me is Waterloo 2013, no less. They say 600 soldiers, so I presume about 900 Re-enactors in total. Should make a fun enough battle.
Anyone else going?

Oh btw, I found this lying around on facebook

A Tirailleur de la garde in a '12-'15 uniform. But with a wrong shako.

A tirailleur with epaulettes on? pretty sure it's just a light infantry carabinier.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on May 28, 2013, 11:43:10 pm
A Light infantry Carabinier with red sleeves cuffs? I think not.
I'm quite sure Tirailleur wore Epaulettes somewhere in their existence, but I could be mistaken. Only in 1815, I thought.

Edit: Came up with the word for cuffs.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Docm30 on May 29, 2013, 12:12:43 am
Red cuffs were worn by several light regiments.

Apparently the Tirailleurs may have worn red epaulettes in 1815, so it could be a one from there abouts. That's the part of the war I know the least about (uniform wise, at least), though. They're all hideous by that point.

Still, there's nothing in that image that prevents the uniform from being a carabinier. Brass metal was worn by a few regiments, and white leggings were common.

In the meanwhile, Zac, tell that guy to get a proper shako.

What light  regiments had yellow brass and red cuffs in 1812-15?

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion

Then they have bad sources, cos the Tirailleurs had very distictive white lace.
 
Scratch that, they apparantly threw the braid out in 1815. But... What shakoplate did he have?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Docm30 on May 29, 2013, 01:31:58 am
The 10th, for example, wore red, pointed cuffs in that period. They didn't wear brass buttons (I'm not even completely sure he is), but then again reenactors are rarely perfect.

Anyway, just as grenadier and voltigeur shakoes often had stars on the chin straps (the French is jugulaire, by the way), so did carabiniers.

Here's a photo of an 1812 light carabinier's shako with star badges and no coloured lace. The metal is white, but I've also got pictures of light infantry shakoes with brass metal. It's not hard to believe the combination of those things was worn by someone. Even if it's not, you were willing to except his shako was wrong before.

Is that what you meant when you said it's inaccurate? because they abandoned the white chevrons in 1813 when they adopted the 1812 uniforms.

I think that it probably is a tirailleur, my point is just that's it's impossible to be certain without being able to see the shako plate or the turn-backs.

I would alsosay, he is light infantry, crabinier, because to my mind the Tirailleurs de la garde worn brown pants (because in Europe there exist a group of them). But in fact, it is someone of the Light infantry, which specific regiment i Don't know.  ;D

*sigh* That Medic in the second picture with the beard...  :-\

Facial hair like that was very rare on GIs. Not saying it didn't happen, but not often. It was against regulations, specifically because it could interfere with the proper sealing of a gasmask. Even in a prolonged combat situation, a "fuller" beard would be more common rather than one shaved in a particular style.
Aside from that, they just weren't the style in the 1940s.

König, have you perhaps considered that that man is not in fact a soldier and only pretends to be one occasionally. It's somewhat unfair to expect him to adhere to strict military regulation.

I suspect nobody complains about guys wearing historically inaccurate deodorant.

Then again, anyone who re-enacts to be a hussar or grenadier and doesn't wear a moustache should be kicked in the grill.

Beards can grow back. If you're going to play the part you should, when at all possible and within reason, try and look the part. Besides, if you're willing to spend lots of money on a uniform and other equipment, why detract from it with something easy to change like a beard?

There is no regiment in the UK that will let 14 year olds fire a musket I'm afraid because its the law....you can either be a musician or be in the line with a dummy musket.

Here's the Napoleonic Association page for you to look at regiments in the UK, pick one that's close to London if you like though it doesn't matter much where a unit is based.

Well, I can't talk on this account. But it does make me wonder what the proper way of wearing hair long in the Napoleonic era would have been for men. I assume some sort of curls.

That's assuming we're keeping cadenettes out of the picture.

Regulations of the Regiment Nr. 6 specifically say all men must have short hair.

If hair had to be worn long, it was usually in a queue. Although long hair was completely out of fashion in western Europe where the so-called Bedford style reigned. It was a little more popular in Russia---medium length hair seems to have been mandatory for their guard Cossacks. I've also got a number of images of officers of that regiment with hair past their shoulders.

Fun story: In April 1809 when GD Nansouty arrived at his command in Germany and discovered his officers and Colonels had cut off their queues, he was so outraged he had them arrested until the following day :)
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Docm30 on June 02, 2013, 01:17:44 am
The queue was abolished for infantry (except those in the Guard) 26 August, 1804 (though they certainly persisted after that). How could he have them arrested for following regulation? I've heard the story of Nansouty becoming furious when he found out that they were abolished without his knowledge, but never him having anyone arrested.

I hate all of you.

We need a license to get the musket INTO the country, then a license to OWN the musket, and then another license to SHOOT the musket.

And at each of these you are at the mercy of a government official who can, at any point, decide he doesn't like you and deny your request, in which case, your only change is either moving to another district or waiting until the official changes his mind (which they never do) or is replaced.

"All black powder muzzleloaders made before 1898 are considered antique firearms. Antique firearms are exempt from the licence and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act."

"All matchlock, flintlock and wheel lock long guns are considered antiques no matter when they were made. Like older firearms of these types, they are exempt from the licence and registration requirements set out in the Firearms Act."

But don't most reenactors use modern reproductions and not actual antiques from the 19th or 18th century becuase a) they're cheaper and b) they won't be endangering an historical artifact?

All other reproductions includes muskets. The example is an 1853 enfield, which is a musket. Your elitist attitude is not appreciated.

It does appear however, to depend on the firing mechanism of the musket. Flintlocks seem to not count as firearms whilst percussion caps do. Neither of us were entirely correct.

Really? elitist? that's up there with pretentious as far as lazy and insipid insults go.

Anyway, my dictionary defines a musket as a muzzleloading, smoothbore long gun. Wikipedia agrees. The 1853 Enfield is rifled.

Why does a Major, a mounted officer, have a backpack?


Lt Colonel* and most rebs officers arent mounted. The horses, despite the Federals officers to be mounted, is sacred for the south. They were pretty sacred. In fact upon the surrender at Appomattox. All war machine must be turned over to Grant. Lee objected that all horses must return to men because not just they were a war machine. They were the machine that kept them alive at home. So Grant pardoned all the remaining horses and they returned to owners, not Generals. Yes When the war came up, they called all farmers to donate horses for generals and cavalry force. In the end, if the horse is alive, he is to be returned, if dead, he is to be paid by money.  The whole point is, not much of a horse is to be spared in the south whilst the North can get many horses from Europe. (Thanks to Anacoda plan, ze Sawth cant get much of supplies through the blockade.)

The Lost Cause at its disturbing moment  ::)

Why does a Major, a mounted officer, have a backpack?


Lt Colonel* and most rebs officers arent mounted. The horses, despite the Federals officers to be mounted, is sacred for the south. They were pretty sacred. In fact upon the surrender at Appomattox. All war machine must be turned over to Grant. Lee objected that all horses must return to men because not just they were a war machine. They were the machine that kept them alive at home. So Grant pardoned all the remaining horses and they returned to owners, not Generals. Yes When the war came up, they called all farmers to donate horses for generals and cavalry force. In the end, if the horse is alive, he is to be returned, if dead, he is to be paid by money.  The whole point is, not much of a horse is to be spared in the south whilst the North can get many horses from Europe. (Thanks to Anacoda plan, ze Sawth cant get much of supplies through the blockade.)
Fun-fact; a relative of mine (in a Confederate cavalry unit) received extra pay during the war because he used his own horse.

Nothing wrong with it. Ironically the girl's is far nicer. Ironic because she's worn it open and accompanied by a riding helmet.

I'm just biased in favour of having 5 buttons per row.
And being completely blunt; women in hussar uniforms.

Though if you really want poorlly dressed Hussars, look no further than the 10th in their early days.

Well you can say that, but just imagine that painting if it were full length and Finucane had put his yellow hessians on that day.
I'll allow them that the yellow facings were quite spiffing, while they had them.

All these portraits really demonstrate, though, are how awful we British are at moustaches. His is near identical to mine right now.

PM sent,, to any Aussies here

This is an email about the Bastille Day Celebrations 14 July 2013


As 21eme we have been cordially invited by the French Consul-General to Sydney M. Berti to take part in celebrations at the La Perouse Museum.

Nature of the Day: As 21 eme soldiers we will be involved with mingling with French veterans, a short ceremony, flag raising and laying a wreath. The day is part commemoration and part celebration. Enthusiastic Vive Le France and Vive l’Empreur are encouraged at appropriate times.

Arrival Time: 0900-0930.

Start Time: 1000.

Conclusion 1400 (It is not entirely clear when the day officially ends but it winds down after lunchtime. Of course we can leave at our leisure and if there are public to harras...I mean entertain we can do that to for a little bit).

If there isn't one, may I suggest 'Plunger'?

Seems to have been used as a term for cavalrymen, particularly those brutish heavy chaps.
But if Flashman is right, and I'm often inclined to believe it is, then it was also used to describe officers who just wanted to swagger around and haw-haw at their social lessers.

Personally, I think I could plunge with the best of them.

Got a living history display this weekend, William cox day. The day the blue mountains was crosses.

A bit of history as we all like that.

Cox transferred to the New South Wales Corps on 30 September 1797, exchanging with a Lieutenant Beckwith, and was made paymaster on 23 June 1798, having been on half pay.
Cox sailed for New South Wales, Australia, on 24 August 1799 on the Minerva, with his wife and four sons. Aboard the ship were around 160 convicts including General Holt and the Rev. H. Fulton who were among many political prisoners. Cox used his influence so that the prisoners were often allowed up on deck for fresh air, and Holt in his memoirs states that as a result "the ship was the healthiest and best regulated which had ever reached the colony". The Minerva arrived in Sydney on 11 January 1800. Cox purchased a 100-acre (40 ha) farm and made Holt its manager. Further land was purchased but in 1803 large liabilities led to Cox's estate being placed into the hands of trustees. He was suspended from office due to allegations that regimental accounts were involved. Cox returned to England in 1807 to answer allegations that he had misused army funds.The Dictionary of Australian Biography records that Cox was cleared in 1808, and was promoted to Captain of 102nd Regiment of Foot, and placed in charge of Irish political prisoners. However, the London Gazette of 19 April 1808 records, "Paymaster William Cox, of the New South Wales Corps, is dismissed the Service."

Cox returned to Australia in 1811, where he resigned his commission and became principal magistrate at Hawkesbury. He was also responsible for erecting many government buildings.
In 1814, Governor Macquarie approved Cox's 'voluntary offer of your superintending and directing the working party' that would build a road crossing the Blue victoria, between Sydney and Bathurst. The completed dirt track was 12 feet (3.7 m) wide by 1011⁄2 miles (163 km) long, built between 18 July 1814 to 14 January 1815 using 5 free men, 30 convict labourers and 8 soldiers. Macquarie surveyed the finished road in April 1815 by driving his carriage along it from Sydney to Bathurst. The Governor commended Cox and stated that the project would have taken three years if it had been done under a contract. As a reward Cox was awarded 2,000 acres (810 ha) of land near Bathurst. The road became known as Cox's Road.

"The imminent action the corps seemed sure to engage in offered an opportunity for it to redeem its badly tarnished reputation. Throughout the rest of the army the 11th Corps was seen as the weak link and such slurs as "Howard's cowards" and "The flying Dutchmen" were hurled at them. The intense feeling against the corps had developed from two separate causes. One was nationality. A large percentage of the corps was composed of Germans, many of whom spoke little English. Many officers, likewise, like Schurz and Schimmelfennig, were foreign born. Despite the long military tradition of the German states, the Germans were held in contempt by the English speaking element of the army and considered to be poor fighters."

So, our Brigadier found the 100% accurate buttons for the middle row of the dolman and pelisse.

For all ignorant infantrymen out there - that equals 36 buttons. Problem is, I ordered and got the buttons we use which are the closest you can get. That is, until these were suddenly found somewhere. And these ones cost 1,35 euro a piece.

So... I'm not sure what to do. Of course I want to be as accurate as can be, but the buttons already cost me a pretty penny and I'm not too happy about spending another 50 euro's, as money is a little tight. Already bought a backpack for 150 euro.

I decided to buy them.

Now no-one can say I cheap out of being 100% accurate! Huzzah!

Did a bit of calculating and I estimated I'll have to spend around a 1000 euro in the following two years to have campaign dress for Waterloo 2015. Might be more, so I budgeted 1200 for now, though I'll do a much more precise calculation soon.

That's without horse rental which my parents pay for.

Everything I buy is around 100 euro's...

Belt:110 euros
Giberne:105
Shoes:95,99
Sabretache:99,95

And so on. Shizzle's expensive. My earlier estimation of a 1000 fell short by miles. Looks like 1400 now.

And pls. The Dutch 1815 uniform was pretty mass-produced as well. And it was kinda simple too. In Napoleonic terms.

Post by: Docm30 on July 26, 2013, 11:49:48 am
Just be thankful prices have gone way, way down since 1815. I've heard of Napoleonic officers spending the equivalent of over 50,000 dollars on their uniforms. There was one officer of the 43rd Monmouthshire rumoured to have spent £1,000 a year of his various uniforms, which is about £80,000 today.

It cost some 130 francs to equip and uniform a single Imperial Guard grenadier, which is obviously a lot more than 1400 euros.

That may not make you feel better, but it does illustrate how much the industrial revolution and the various inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries have brought the cost of everything down.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on July 26, 2013, 12:36:26 pm
But I'm not a Old Guard grenadier :P

And I already spent a few hundred euro's on various items as fabric, leather and buttons (Always the buttons!).

I've got a job, and if I somehow manage to keep that job until I gratuade I'll be able to earn to make around 1700 euro - Just enough.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion

I used the example of a grenadier to show how much it could cost to equip a private/trooper that wore a uniform of above average complexity.

Do you have to use a specially made saddle, or do you just use modern ones with sheepskins thrown over them?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on July 26, 2013, 07:12:26 pm
We use, if we can, modern militairy UP-saddles.

The authentic ones aren't made except when special ordered, and rentals don't even consider giving you a horse when you show them such a saddle.

If you don't have a UP, you use a simple English saddle.

The warcry of Boreel is quite simple:

Not that we use it. I don't think it was even used in 13-15, it's only used now, in modern times.
"Oranje boven" or "Leve de Koning!" are both acceptable.  :P

Mr T, both guys are Dutch, they charge 200 euros and their work is excellent. One guy, from my reg, even handstitches. I got my own backpack from him (Though I'm starting to think I won't need it for long :P ). Greatcoatstraps are included.

Are there no other Infantry groups near you?

It's holland

Netherlands! I don't live in Holland!

And while distance makes no difference, cos all groups pretty much go to the same events, there ARE bigger and more active groups. 85e (Which I can't join for personal reasons), Douaniers Imperiale (Which I won't join until hell freezes over) and of course the 7e BvL are all units who are bigger and have grown in the past year.

I'll be joining the 7e for Leipzig. My group isn't going, neither are the Hussars, and one of them invited me to join them for once. Who knows, maybe I'll like it.

Easy guess: Riddlez elaborates:

Well, while we do train the historical exercition and movements (Including silly commands), sabre training is aimed at safety.

Why? Well, the historical accurate sabre-exercition was meant to kill. And we try to avoid that.

Having said that, cavarly melees are still very dangerous and (so am I told) sometimes you have to really defend yourself with all your ability.

True. If Napoleon had won Leipzig, there's a big chance the allies would have to be consider peace on Napoleons terms, while Napoleon had little chance of winning the 1815 campaign.

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on August 02, 2013, 02:15:39 pm
I dunno. Napoleon would have to detach yet another part of his army to keep the allied army away from France. An invasion of the Netherlands would be impossible - It is reeked with fortresses that would have been occupied by the allied army, meaning it might even take months to reach the Rhine, while over half a million Prussians, Austrians, Italians, Russians and Spaniards were invading France.

I was just throwing some material at Deo, but not sure about Aussies. I recommended him the M-42 from IMA-USA so that he wasn't breaking the bank and can get right into reenacting this December. Just needs a bit of mink oil on the chinstrap and it's good to go.

If you have the money and privilege to get a custom helmet from some kid who paints German helmets by the name of "Friedrich Ulrich", those are very nice. He's also out of the US.

in most groups here, we take on the names etc of the men in the company, atleast we do that here in Australia. Considering my ancestor was an officer in the Royal Marines during the period i take on his name as he was in the colonies 1788-1793. For french we get names,but dont often use them as we normally speak english anyway. for German we take on people/or make it up

Personally I think you are joking about the lives of the men who really served in the unit. I saw Landrik and two other guys who had made fucking Facebook profils of their characthers. How is that, in any way, helping you being historicaly correct?

In my eyes, you are re-enacting a unit. Not a specific person. You can not act like you served in the real unit, because you did not.

Once again, that's just my opinion. Do what you consider proper, I suppose. I suspect you all think I'm overreacting, so let's just let this thing be from now.

Its not disrespectful in any way, shape or form. They are getting immersed into their character. What about films where people play others who died or was there? Is that disrespectful? No. If they make a profile on that character then good on them. If they have a good history and help people get a better understanding of the unit in question then great, there needs to be more of it.

What a waiste.  :P

Dutch army used horse-drawn caissons. I believe one per batallion, though there were some with multiple (Which was strictly forbidden) and some with none.
Though, looking into the numbers, it's likely those were being transported by the soldiers of the train of the brigade instead of train-soldiers being attached to the batallion.

Well that's stupid.

Okay, to be completely fair, on campaign the Dutch, Belgians and Nassauers had to camp because the British took all the houses. They only were quartered during the months prior to the battle of Waterloo when they were spread out to guard the border.

And remember, that's camping NAPOLEONIC style - It means without tent, simply in your greatcoat next to the road, and if you were lucky you had a bag of dry straw as mattress. All trough, these men were often masters in making make-shift shelters. I once made that myself too, it was pretty fun. It did take me and my mate like 3 hours and...well...let's say I'm glad it didn't rain.  :o

Anyone shared that experience with me?

Come to town that supply Confederate Army, burns it and confederates cant get supplies, Confederates starves, Confederates surrender, Union win. 

Why capture a house when you just can go outside and sleep peacefully under the woods. away from the civilians who are bent on revenge which might be willing to kill you in sleep.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on August 06, 2013, 02:30:07 am
Yeah, cos it's not like you risk that when you sleep next to the house.

Serious though, quartering the men has serious advantages. It keeps them clean, healthy, dry and and much easier to find and get together. It also has a positive effect on morale and avoids diseases, for the reasons above. It even means less bagage as you don't have to bring tents, not that anyone bothered with that in the Napoleonics anyway.

You cant just house 50k to 100k men. We however had a "house" look up winter quarter.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on August 06, 2013, 03:05:35 am
It fielded three infantry Divisions of around 7000 men each, plus the Indian brigade which consisted of +/- 3500 men. The cavalry consisted of 7 regiments spread in three brigades, 3200 men in total. The artillery consisted of 8 batteries of 6 six cannons and two howitsers manned by about a hundred men.

In total that's over 30.000-33.000 men. That's only counting those who would fight in the campaign and march into France - There were plenty of units who stayed in Belgium, which would make the number near 40.000. Of course, this is also not counting the depots, garrison companies, swiss troops, the colonial hussars (1 sqd), the militia carabiniers (full regiment) and the 30+ batallions of Militia still in training.

Like I said, the quatering only happened during the months prior to the battles - the units were split up, sometimes to a single company in a town, to fit them all in, as well as guarding the border.

It was ordered that 15-20 men had to sleep in one house at least, and after a fake alarm that did not give satisfying results, it was forbidden to be quatered more then 1500 steps from the town centre.

It was also forbidden to be cooked for by the citizens you were staying.

3rd Amendment forbidding soliders to house during peacetime. It was typical for British soldiers to house during the revolutionary war. So basically the citizen didnt enjoy that. 

The Army was always on mobile, that's why we had tents. Keep the army on the go instead of travelling big cities to big cities. When we are not on the mobile, we build log cabins.

Duuring the Union Army and American terrian is different from Europe. We have hotter climate in the south. In the winter, it doesnt snow in the South. It get down to 50-60's. So, a blanket and tent would be comfortable. Plus big cities are not so big enough to fit two armies. America was still young.

Oh don't worry, as far as I concerned you didn't act like 'one of those guys'.  ;)

I know the terrain is different, but that has little to do with it. The Waterloo campaign was fought in the summer, though it wasn't a very hot summer. Whether it was warm, hot, snowy or raining, officers preferred to storage their men in houses then to make camp. For one, it kept them together and easier to collect. Two, there was no need to make camp, which took time and effort.

I think the major problem was indeed too few houses, but I can't believe that they didn't occupy houses that were perfectly available. It makes no sense. What's easier then walking in a house, put your blanket on the ground and sleep?  :P

During the invasion of France, the high concentration of men which all marched on the same road meant that they had the same problem - too few houses, too many men. Add to this the fact that Wellington always gave British troops the honour of marching first, which meant that they were always first in the houses and first at the food, and you can understand why Dutch troops had quite enough of the British, the invasion and war all-together. They were glad to return in December.

Now that's brilliant...

Now that we hit that subject, people may guess how many regiments/battalions had brought their regimental musicians (Not counting drummers and fifers, just the band) with them on the Waterloo campaign.
Take into consideration there were a total of 41 battalions or regiments in the invasion army active during the campaign (If I'm not mistaken. I just did a quick count).

The winner gets one internet cookie! The one who also guesses WHICH unit/units gets my ever-lasting love and appreciation. Of course, if there are any...maybe there weren't any?

More on topic, has anyone ever understood why people re-enact bandsman? Drummers and fifers, okay, but what's the fun playing a big tuba in the middle of a battlefield?  :P
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on August 06, 2013, 10:28:20 pm
Cant answer that question, i know zip about waterloo. Except the British were bit selfish with the glory.


But for reenacting as musician. I can say that people who are musicians in real life having opportunity to play insturment in battle probably is cool for them. Drumming and bugle are kinda important for us. And they normally assign to kids who cant fire a gun but a opporunity to see a battle up close and beat the drum like a boss.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on August 06, 2013, 10:42:10 pm
Drumming is even more important to Napoleonicers who, if you'll forgive me for saying so, tend to be a lot more strict on proper marching. During Wavre all the drummers were bunched together in one big band during the march, which sounded awesome.

The kids-musician thing happens a lot here too, though we seem to have an equal share of adult musicians. Also, fifers. Lots and lots of fifers.  :P

Bugles/trumpets are only for the light infantry and the cavalry, and it's great to see that there are plenty of groups portraying that vital role in the hobby :) I once tried learning the fife, but I simply haven't got the patience for that.  :P

The German army didn't directly issue ammunition for the PPSh, so the soldier would've had to find his own. It was a throw-away weapon and very reliable. However, for those captured and issued, the designation was "MP717(r)" and would be supplied with 7.63 x 25mm Mauser ammunition.

There were PPSh's that were sent back to be rechambered for 9x19mm Parabellum from 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev. Their redesignation was "MP41(r)".

Its the person firing's fault if he gets powder flash like that. They need to learn how to load properly if its doing that so using a flashguard is just a lazy way of doing it.  If they are worried about flash then maybe they shouldnt fire a gun.

We wouldn't need specific gun safety instructions if people used common sense, but that never stopped from say, some “competitive” shooter modifying his pistol trigger mechanism and whatnot sensitive enough that the gun discharged itself from the recoil subsequently on his so-called test run. Cue hell from everyone else down on the range by the time both magazine and barrel were empty for sure.

I presume nothing too serious happened @ the picture in any case, looks bit ouch-ey in any case. Who knows, maybe it was even deliberate for the sake of interesting photograph.

Now it's in my hands. I cleaned it, tuned it, replaced the ropes and readjusted, but it stills sounds like a bloody tin can
And the wires below wont stop buzzing after each beat"

It may need the skin replaced. If not remove the wires and use tight string. That way it will absorb the vibrations.

Well, first and foremost, thanks to Zack for posting this for me while I lurked around thousands of websites, looking for a fix.

And Davout, I don't think that's really an option. Mainly because the drum isn't mine, and nobody in my unit wishes to donate money to pay for a drum.

And, a few things I forgot to mention when I talked to Zack. Firstly, this is by no means a reenactment drum. It's made of painted metal and the skin is plastic. The rope was bought in a common supermarket and the snare gut is held in place with fishing line (We argies make do with what we have). Historically accurate drums are impossible to buy in this country, mainly due to the huge import tax rates.

So this drum technically IS a tin can. However, before it got stored in the garage it sounded decently. I will bring this up later today, before the reenactment, though I doubt anyone in my group will do anything.

So yesterday I took part in the reenactment of the Battle of Salta, which originally took place in the north of Argentina.

We formed up by our cannon, and one of our officers began throwing around bombs and grenades to simulate howitzer shells. Out of nowhere, he throws a small nade, and a stupid dog decides to play catch with it. It ran off from the public, grabbed the explosive and blew it's face off.

Dog didn't die, only lost a few teeth, but you have no idea how pissed off the officers were.

46 kilometres over three days sounds more like a light stroll than a fitness exercise.

15 kilometers a day, full gear?

Mediocre.
It all depends on the shoes.

'Twere Sheffield Fayre, it was us versus some riflemen, redcoats, cannon and a rocket. Today was a good day, people seemed to enjoy it better than yesterday, we formed plenty of columns and there were plenty of Vive L'Empereur! cried as we advanced. Might write more about it later, can't be bothered at the moment.

Bought myself a shako and a greatcoat, and most importantly I passed my musket safety test! :D

This is a combat display my reenactment group did, unfortuantely, i was not there. The guy with the round shield is legitimately trying to kill the guy with the kite shield. He was so pissed that day. just for note why these guys get tired- 5 minutes dressed up in full dark ages gear doing combat is the equivalent of doing 1 hour of full on aerobics.

Enjoy the video.

Sure there are. Revolutionary Battlefield though. Battle of Trenton, Princeton, Washington Crossing.

But Gettysburg was only 3 hours away.................Yeah the picture you are looking is the the confederate perspective of Pickett Charge. I walked across the field. Quite a walk.

I KNEW it was Gettysburg. It confused me you said New Yersey.

And I meant CW battles. Not that I could name a Revolutionary battle in that specific state  :P

Funny you realized how big the battlefield was. In Waterloo it's the other way round
If you ever find yourself visiting the Waterloo battlefield, don't be mistaken - the battlefield REALLY was that small. Hard to believe more then 200.000 men marched and fought across such a tiny area. I could hardly imagine it.

New Yersey, I think i like that spelling better. 

There was no civil war battlefield in New Jersey so you are thinking correct. 

So I have been told, I also remember that the layout was different due to that giant hill for a Dutch prince? I doubt ill have time to go to Waterloo, however I wonder if there is any napoleonic battlefield near Nuremburg or Berlin? Or even Prague?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Mr T on August 30, 2013, 04:27:13 pm
You're talking aboot the Lion Mound I think, a monument Wellington himself said ruined the battlefield. As for battles near those places its very likely I think, Berlin may have some stuff since Napoleon captured it in 1806.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on August 30, 2013, 04:36:06 pm
The campaigns of 1805, 1806 and 1813 were fought around there, so after some research I'm convinced you'll find something.

It's undeniable that the Ridge on which the allied army was deployed was messed up due to the construction of the Butte de Lion. However, I must remind all of you, the Butte is not a monument solely dedicated to the Prince (Even though people, especially Brits, like to say it was), it's simply built on the spot where he was wounded. The monument is dedicated to the participation of the NL troops, from the highest general to the lowest private, Dutch, Belgian or Nassau. Besides, it's gives a great view over the battlefield.

The construction of the tram line (Not sure when that happened) also did a major contribution to the destruction of the ridge, which is often forgotten. The rest of the battlefield, by the way, is still in good shape. Minus Hougoumont of course, which is falling into ruins but which will be repaired. So they say.

Talking about monuments, the British truly have no right of talking. They smacked the battlefields and even the walls of Hougoumont full with monuments dedicated to British soldiers, even though the British were a minority of the defenders farmhouse. It was largely defended by Germans (Including the 1st battalion of the 2nd Nassau Regiment), but that's of course carefully ignored.

Quote
a monument Wellington himself said ruined the battlefield

Is it actually proven he said that? As far as I know it only shows up in a book by Victor Hugo.

Dennewitz (ca 80 km) and Großbeeren  (ca 25 km) are near to Berlin, but most battlefield in germany changed a lot, because we had a battle near everywhere so we couldn't live adn work there no more if we keep all the battlefields historical   ;) There are serveral battles of other time periods near the citys you want to visite. But Nürnberg is - with or without battlefieldseeing - a good trip, because of its history from '33 to '45 and the time after the war(Reichsparteitage, Nürnberger Prozesse,....). The city is very interesting too because it was fully destroyed in WW2 by your guys (  ;) ) and then rebuilded like it was before

there is a lot about ww2 in germany. You can see a lot of museums dealing with the war, the holocaust or the aftermath. You can also see a little monument for the in ww1/ww2 fallen soldiers in every town


Well that's good to hear, I am curious though, Do you guys have military shops as well? More specifically, ww2 items. I am not sure because of the German laws with swastika and the german army had swastika on every-damn-thing.

(No i dont shop clothing like teenages nowaday, i shop militarias XD)

Same here with Guard units. So many! TOO MANY!

There are some who do a good job, and then there are some who make a complete mess of it. Like a group doing Marines de la Garde. God. So awful.

I'm content with portraying the (only) Dutch hussar regiment that fought in the Liberation war and Waterloo campaign. Pretty uniform too.

they point the rifle at you, or at a civil war event a volley  is fired at you. 


simplest answer it can be a little more complex
i take hits after i have used 70 percent of my ammo

In 21e, we're told when to go down, so for example an officer may tap you on the shoulder and say "Next volley, you go down."
Or it'll be more in big clusters, for example "The front ranks will all die from canister and the rest flee etc"

I really love the mismatch of uniforms with the French (least I think its deliberate lol) really gives the impression of conscripts being rushed out of the depot.
And of course always love the march past the crowd at the end, VIIIIIIVE L'EMPEREUUUUR!!!

7e Bataljon, I think. At least, I got invited (by) and contacted them. There's a small event where a couple of them are going, so I'll try to talk to them.

That's my 3rd choice. I'm checking Liberty Rifles or Consitiuon Guards first. Those units I'm likely to fall in as a member when I move to east coast next year. Spotsy would be a good event to check em out.  Also going to research on ANV in Wilderness/Spotsy for my impression and not bringing shelter half. Going kick it out rain or not. I hope there will be trenches and letting us sleep in it.

Well yes but thats the fun of it. Many companies mostly early war had names like that. Some progressive units portray Confederates and Union at different events so they choose a company name that could sound like its from either side.

So what units do they portray?

I mean, my cavalry group is named 'En Vedette', while we portray the 6th (Dutch) Hussars. In theory we also do 3eme Chasseurs au cheval though they haven't done that for years.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Millander on September 11, 2013, 04:47:41 pm
They do a different one for each event.

Like for Gettysburg they did a different impression for all three days where as they were Confederate for the 150th Antietam.

They would be cool to go with but it might hamper our possibilities for a meetup.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on September 11, 2013, 05:06:16 pm
They portray any unit assigned by the event.

Consitiuon guards do have a main impression that is, Louisiana Tigers. But they change by years. They wore tigers Zouave at seven days reenactment but they wore typical ANV impression at Antietam because after seven days. Tigers received issue instead of special request due to time and material shortage . They have a nice website as well.


Only time I'd go federal if all fails and it'll be 28th Mass co b. I like those guys.

I'm going spotsy mainly to reenact and kick it hardcore as best I can do. So don't take offense if I don't show to "meet up" or whatever make you uncomfortable or sad. I planned to kick it last may for cville which failed. I got to complete my dream at spotsy.   

P.s. millander. Not hard to do reb when you already went far as federal. Get a confederate belt buckle. Replace it with US. Remove US plates and shield from cartridge box so you don't spend another 200. You can remove sling and attach box to belt. You may use federal knapsack by using captured exsuce. You just need to get a uniform and slouch hat which you can modify your hardee to it. You may use federal blanket as captured. At least that's what munk and I are doing.

I think its part of whether individual units load with the ramrod or not, if you notice in one of the videos, the Polish troops I think aim straight at the enemy while other units aim down or up.
Units that load with the ramrod aim up into the sky or down into the ground in case some burke has left the ramrod in their barrel, its happened many times in re-enactment where the ramrods been fired at people.
Its why some regiments, like 21e, don't load with the ramrod because then we can look like we're actually bloody shooting at the enemy rather at the grass.

Course there might be other factors aboot it too I guess.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on September 13, 2013, 09:29:24 am
It's the same here - They get close? Elevate.

The entire 'flying ramrod' thing is overdone. Has one ever seen ramrods flying? I could have sworn I see a video of a test with a baker rifle where the ramrod was left in the barrel on purpose and it barely left the gun after being discharged.
Even if it did, when you have a controlled motion (loading step by step) you have to be really, really stupid to somehow manage to leave your ramrod in the gun.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on September 13, 2013, 11:52:25 am
You fire with ramrods at reenactment? He'll no. Nope. Not gonna do napoleonic. Nope. No sir. No thank you. I'll wear my knight armor to a event just to watch.

In ACW. Ramrod is a deadly thing. Our rifles, are different from what Duuring said about the baker rifle which I hope apply for all guns in NW. Anyway, if we leave our ramrod in. Somebody is going to have a ramrod stuck through them. I once got a ramrod stuck in the barrel. A pard shot it out and it really zipped out fast and landed more than halfway deep in grass.

That's why in battles. We were told to never use ramrod. We just slam the butt on the ground. Some of us just think through the step to compensate the not using ramrod instead of gng bang ang bang bang yolo mofo bang bang. XD

One of our Carporals said once that a ramrod came flying at him and whizzed past his head. Apparently its even happened with cannon ramrods...

In 21e, we just use cartridges with blackpowder, nothing else, bit in the pan, rest in the barrel, job done, no need to present away from the enemy.

The cannon ramrod thing happened at Borodino last year or this year. A piece of the ramrod was still in (broken off) and it was fired at the enemy. 3 got some bruises and one was injured a bit more serious, but nothing major or permanent.

24th Michigan is a really awesome regiment. Good thing about reenacting, no one expect you to complete your kit in a month. My unit gives members 2 years to get on their own foot. Focus on your main impression and build it slowly by high quality. It'll pay off at the end. Don't be afraid to ask question to your other unit members. They could save your time and money!
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Newkirk on September 19, 2013, 07:49:21 pm
I appreciate it, and I think one reason they chose the 24th Michigan is because they were called to assault that specific regiment at Gettysburg, apparently it was quite ferocious.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on September 19, 2013, 07:59:13 pm
The 24th belonged to the famed Iron Brigade. I believe the brigade smashed into North Carolina brigade at McPherson Ridge. The iron brigade also suffered heavy fighting on culps hill that lasted more than 5 hours.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Newkirk on September 19, 2013, 08:09:55 pm
This is the excerpt about it from the website.

Quote
On this first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, the regiment was called upon to assault Federal troops of the Iron Brigade (specifically the 24th Michigan) posted in Herbst's woods on McPherson's Ridge. After brutal fighting, which saw the 26th break through three separate lines of resistance, the regiment forced Union troops to withdraw from the position of strength which they had held. Though the 26th achieved its goal, it was at a tremendous cost. The regimental colors were shot down fourteen times; the regimental commander Colonel Henry King Burgwyn, Jr., was killed; and his second-in-command, Lt. Col. John R. Lane, was seriously wounded. Out of 800 muskets taken into the fight by the 26th on that bloody day, 588 men were killed, wounded, or missing.

Bassicle Iron brigade are bad-asses. Deo would the feathers have been worn by the time of thr battle? It seems they would have been pretty easy to loose.

Feathers were noted to near faded by the time of Antietam. So that heavy rain before Gettysburg surely would had it goner but then. However brass were heavily noted to exist more than a few. Some would had hat cord as well.

Speaking as a Napoleonicer, cords were taken off in case of bad weather. They were actually reserved for parade, though men tended to wear them in battles as well.

That's of course speaking about shakocords. The cords on the bicorn which had a practice function (Keeping the bloody thing in shape) were left on, but in bad weather the entire bicorne was covered in oilskin.

A random question for you ACW boys, on average, how many grains of powder does one cartridge hold? I imagine reenactors cartridges and real ones are a bit different in their size, so what do you use?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Landrik on September 28, 2013, 05:39:47 am
I use 55 to get a decent load, but not wasting powder so I can make more rounds. Most people put in about 60-75 where you can feel a bit of a kick.

I think it's a bit of an American thing. On facebook, there was a kid of 13 1/2 who re-enacted a GI (Including weapons and shit), he posted some pics, and nobody gave a shit, really.

Modern glasses are something I just find inexcusable. Even worse then being fat. How hard is it to get a pair of historical glasses?

By the way, what's up with your forage cap? ITS SO BLUE!

Not sure but I wasent in this club. In that club was min age was 12 which I thought was kinda crazy. They were drill this kid and he was allot of difficulty even with shoulder arms.

Forage Cap colors  varied by contract Duuring. Although most caps were dark blue having a light blue one or even a lighter shade jacket is completely accurate. My cap is also likely the highest quality one there.

You just wait to you see the pictures of my group at Leipzig.

Prussian litewkas, blue, black or brown, French capotes, brown or grey, British greatcoats, French backpacks, Prussian backpacks, basically all sorts of muskets....
I'll be wearing so much French stuff, the only thing that makes me recognizable as a Prussian is my hat. And all 100% accurate. Landwehr (late 1813) for the win.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: George385 on October 06, 2013, 01:16:36 am
jesus, the minimum age in Australia for inter-club combat is 16...

we have extremely strict rules here in Oz, both on firearms and on swords and knives.

Besides that we have the worlds strictest customs and border security so if you even try to bring something illegal in, it will get siezed and you will get a warning letter on a good day, on a bad day you will go to jail for atleast 6 years i think it is.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on October 06, 2013, 01:26:30 am
Well, in the Netherlands it's pretty simple. As it's 'just' re-enactment, and not official fighting, there's no age limit. The NAN (umbrella organization) made the age limit for the battlefield 12 (so kids go musician), and naturally there's the gun laws.

I'm 16 and there's absolutely no problem with me riding over the battlefield with a sabre.  :P

I've run into even younger kids than that. 10 even. However, their dad is there the whole time and watching over them and the kid's not muzzle-sweeping everyone in the field so I'm sure the kid was properly trained by his dad about muzzle awareness and trigger safety. Biggest two things.

Also, I'm with you on glasses. Everyone looks at your face and sees a pair of prescription modern glasses and it just looks like absolute trash. Either get contacts or period frames with your prescription in them.

Re-enacting requires you to get a AB gun license (NSW), and If you are starting one, you may need to get a Reenacting Even permit, as well as provide Public Liability Insurance levy... Well, I would recommend finding a few more friends to help you start it up, then together it will work better, instead of just 2, because the prices may overwhelm you...

For a revolver? it says you can only get that specific licence for target practice and sport shooting purposes only... if we get a revolver that is manufactured before 1900 (antique firearm) we will still need to get a permit because it specifically says this excludes an antique revolver. I need to find out what permit to get to own a blank-firing revolver.

After a battle, usually the Brits present arms and afterwards the commander says "Division! Three cheers for his Majesty King George III! HIP HIP!" and then thar be 3 huzzahs and hip hips etc etc.

Nope. No replicas with that. I'm told not all sabres had it due to different producers. Having a point being better then a 'hatchet'. No idea what's the accuracy of that, but with no other options, I don't really care  :P

All swords that were properly made expanded towards the point. It's not a huge deal or anything, but I've seen at least fifty real ones and every one has been that way. It was a pretty important part of the design, after all.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on October 12, 2013, 10:45:29 pm

It's in great condition and isn't tapped to put in a blank adapter - so it's in its original state. That also means I have to pull the bolt back after each shot, but no big deal. It's an easy pull, so I can still be quick with it when firing blanks.

The magazine is also original, the replacement being reproduction doesn't fit right. So I load it with stripper clips. It's very nice to have when Ami are swarming your position. :)

Yes, i am going to Get M42, so I can pretty much do 41, 42, 43 and possible some very late wars re-enactment. Yes, I am getting some gloves, a toque and thinking about getting a Greatcoat, (Which is expensive ;(  )

Leipzig will be interesting. I will be at Liebertwolkwitz. So I think, most of you will be in the "Agra-Park". So it will be hard to meet us, besides the battle on Sunday  ;D

Me and my Girlfriend will be going to Leipzig.

Possibly Olafson will come to..

I'm wondering if any re-enactors can get us on a good spot during the sunday battles? the tribune seats are sold out o.o...


Anyone who wants to meet and greet just hit me a PM, Were there Friday Saturday and Sunday.

on sunday Civilians wont get on the battlefield, whether you wear historical things or not. They will stand behind the lines as visitors.

The security is very hard there.

No, on saturday we will drill in full brigades

Still laughing how stupid the time period was. I mean Lannes just abandoned his corp to France because Napoleon didn't give him enough credit after storming the hill near Austerlitz. The thirst for glory is very high I can tell. However interesting read anyway. So far I am interested in Lannes and Soult.

1st Section, 1st Company (Züg), 3rd Batallion. East-Prussian Landwehr (Red distictions). We didn't face any Bavarians.
In fact, we faced only some Poles and Tirailleurs at the start of the battle. Every time we crossed the Bridges, our company was stacked in the 2nd line and didn't fire or face the enemy. I didn't have a musket, but the ones who did fired no more then 8 shots. The first line shot over 20. Apart from that, great event, worth all the effort and money ten times over.

Pictures? Just wait a while, pictures will soon be showing up on facebook  :P

They tried to blow up that one bridge multiple times, but that failed, so they decided to throw some smoke grenades there, and seal it off, because the explosion capsules were now primed but not going off unsafe to go over.


The other bridges were still used to travel over... but the action missed the bridge blow up.

Btw was reading about Davout last night, terrible of me to laugh but I admit I chuckled the way the author wrote about Davout like every chapter, Macdonell would wrap up the Marshall's action during quiet time. Every time those report comes up. Davout was either hanging or suppressing the local resurrection. While the others was hitting up the ladies or making profits

Yeah Napoleon was so afraid of Davout being better than him so he put him at the rear of everything or back in France to keep the peace. Battles and Campaigns could of had a different and a more positive course if Davout had a more frontline involvement.

It started from when Napoleon thought he was going to be fighting the main Prussian army but instead he faced a rear guard or something like that at Jena while Davout was at the rear or sent to do something else and then came across the main Prussian army. Davout decided he had to face them and he did at Auerstedt with around 27,000 men at his command. He faced an army of around 60,500. It was a crushing victory for Davout with only 7,420 estimated wounded or dead while the Prussians took 13,000 dead and around 4000 captured.

After that Napoleon knew Davout was going to be great and was scared that he would take his glory and so he made Davout stay at the rear or not even involve him in the campaign.

On that topic and the topic of Leipzig. If Napoleon had used Davout's Corps then the outcome would of been very different as Davout had some of the most experienced troops and his military skills but Napoleon left him out...

I think you have a delusional idea about Cavalry. The riders don't come off or the horses get beaten. The riders try and keep the horses away from the infantry for their's and the horses safety.

Oh my...

First of all, Deo, with all due respect, if you have ridden just twice in your entire life, and the first thing you worry about is where to stall your horse after you bought one, becoming a cavalry re-enactor might not be the best choice for you. Just my little observation.

Second, whoever thinks cavalrymen in any way, actively or passively, try to harm their horses, is either a fool or very badly informed. That's like saying all infantry are crazy gunlovers, who just want to shoot people in the face for fun. There might be one walking around somewhere, universally hated.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on October 23, 2013, 06:31:07 pm
Lol duuring. I'm just saying I rode a horse two time which mean I have no fear to learn more. Yes I know some folks freak out a lot before hopping on. However my wish to be a hussar will remain as a wish. I prefer doing infantry anyway. But there's no harm in little wish.


I agree about not taking hit while being mounted, at GAC cavalry battle scenario. I resorted to grove of tree in the corner and had a lovely view of the battle and one accidentally or foolishly fell off and his horse went full speed ahead at the crowd causing small panic and the horse thankfully swerved away but galloped just by the spectator line by a inch. The mounted event volunteer managed capture that horse before reaching the parking lot.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on October 23, 2013, 06:47:50 pm
Simulating death and wounded with the cavalry has some issues. Where as infantry can just drop down, falling from a saddle takes serious practice, both the technique of falling off as getting your horse used to it. Trying it with rentals is almost impossible. And then of course, when you fall of, you got a horse on the loose. Training your horse to stay with you is possible, but hard, takes time, and in a busy battlefield it might as well run off with its mates. In mediaval re-enactment I've seen people do it, but  Napoleonic re-enactment has 'some' differences to that era - including non-fall-friendly saddlery, according to one knight-turned-lancer  :P

Besides, when I spend over 200 euros on a horse, I very well like to use it as much as possible.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion

IM not saying anyone would (Or should) intentionally hurt a horse, but merely saying accidents can happen. There was a guy who shot his finger off with a blank, what if he did it to his horse...? Then there is also accidently crashing the horse into another, or a infatryman, or even posible getting hit by a little to excited re-enactor with a bayonet... Accidents happen, and horses can often go wild if they get hurt..

Horses should always be treated carefully, even if trained for "battle" situations. For the sake of the rider, the surrounding people and most of all, the horse, one should never forget that a horse is not a toy.

Which is why I always get mixed feelings when people tell me they'd 'love to' do cavalry as soon as they can pay it, while they often lack any experience. I mean, you don't need a lot of it. A half year to a year doesn't make you a star rider, but it gives you enough feedback whether being a cavalry re-enactor is something for you.

There's a bad side to the story. The horses didn't went trough not because of tax but because the administration wasn't done properly.
When people realized there was only a limited amount of horses, people just started bidding - 530 is a confirmed price, but I heard rumors of 800 euros.

Btw, Kitty, I was indeed in a French regiment, but I left that a month ago. I'm now only a member of my cavalry group, and I joined the Landwehr group for just this event, although I might be joining them.

My lists are huge and typically unfinished. For example, this is my checklist to complete my 1942 Stalingrad German Pionier impression:

Quote
M40 Feldbluse
M38 Schirmütze
Pionier Schulterklappen
Pionier Soutache
Klappspaten u. träger (Mk.II)
Pioniersturmgepäck
Allgemeine-Sturmabzeichen
Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz
M40 Mantel
Burlap helmet cover

Not to mention the faux explosive charges I'll have to put in the pack to fill it out.

Post by: Duuring on October 29, 2013, 10:56:16 pm
That's a pretty heavy insult to those men who fought and died during the May invasion and the liberation as independent brigades of the Allied army. The Dutch air force has relatively (To her own size) brought the most German planes down, and together with the army managed to hold the Netherlands 5 days (while Germany had thought they could defeat the Netherlands in one day), allowing the Queen and Parliament to escape to Britian where especially the Queen remained a symbol of Dutch resistance. Most importantly, the army could have fought on for several days at the minimum - It was the bombardment of Rotterdam that forced the Dutch surrender.

Not to mention the Dutch resistance and the Armed forces of the Dutch indies. Parts of the KNIL Airforce even escaped to Australia and fought on for the remainder of the war as their own squadron.

Your statement shows of very little knowledge and respect.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Landrik on October 29, 2013, 11:21:59 pm
I've read first hand accounts of the 1.SS LAH in the Netherlands fighting tooth and nail with the Dutch and they respected them for their fighting abilities. In their own thoughts, they regretted that they had to fight the Dutch and wished that they had allied themselves with the Germans as to not have to fight such a honorable and professional fighting force.

In about a month I'll have pictures of my in full mounted drill-kit of the hussars.

Not quite campaign dress, I know. That's for next year  :P

Got any ideas on getting a horse, and where to keep it?

We rent a group of horses from a pension (Horse farm if you will), where we also train them. Two of our members have their own horses, though. The great advantage of this is that they know each other and will always remain together.

So, joined an ACW unit in my area and was wondering, how many people show up the the Gettysburg re-enactment each year? excluding this year.

Im looking to go but dont want to waste all that money if its not worth it.


I dont recommend the event though, its all bunch of farbs having tits n' giggles. GAC does it every year and the recent year was 150, so it was special event, numbers do not look like that for annually event. Id say less than thousand.  I recommend you look into what event is going to be 150 around the time.  Like let say, we have 150th Red River coming in April, it is one week long event where you march and battle for 23 miles on part of original grounds. Then in May, we have 150th Wilderness andd Spotsylvania, where we will have trenches, and in June, I believe 150th Petersburg related event should happen (that siege took a month).

No just back to their local events. Just because 150th anniversary is in virginia mean the entire state of Virginia shows up and start waving their flags. No, not really, nope.

People like Millanders from california flew all the way to Pennsylvania for a event. There are many people like him doing that even europeans too. Those non 150th event probably would get a thousands to 100.

no not really there have been some "Brass" who formally retired after Gettysburg because of health issues and to make room for new people. But the 150th are still going, but after that i do suspect that there will be a slight drop in numbers.

Post by: Millander on November 03, 2013, 06:33:42 pm
Maybe slightly but unnoticeable. I think the 150's have attracted allot of people to the hobby and the period in general. So yeah there might be slightly less reenacters however there is still more than before.

No Unit as of Yet, just Sitting with Ausreenact, but my impersonation is 2nd SS Panzergrenadier division Das Riech during 1942, so as I believe, they were still grenadier at this time, not 2nd SS Panzer Division.

People make quite a lot of stuff here themselves.

In the Netherlands, there's a small group doing 6th Alabama and now a couple of guys are thinking of reviving the 25th Michigan Infantry, Company I "The Holland Rangers". The 25th was mustered in '62, did some minor battles and campaigns in until '64 before joining the Army of Tennessee for the Atlanta and Carolina campaign.

I think all the guys who are thinking about setting the regiment up again are coming too an event late this month. We'll have a talk then.  :P

Serious though, I know the guys who are thinking of setting this up, and they are serious and good re-enactors. I'm not sure what's the line between mainstream and progressive (Moreover, I don't know where Americans put the line), but I'm convinced that if this groups gets revived, it will be a good group. Surely not 'Letz do Mericans, yellow braid and pistols for everyone!'

Of course, there's a big change they just say 'Nah, let's not do ACW'  :P

OK guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I've got the opportunity to do an NKVD blocking detachment impression for World War Two (the Soviets who were in charge of shooting deserters and people who retreated without orders). While this would be really interesting, the NKVD did a lot of bad shit, especially in Poland and other territories occupied towards the end of the war. So I can either stay as a frontovik and keep the moral high ground, or go NKVD and do an impression of someone who probably a) killed his own men, b) took part in mass rapes, and c) most likely executed ethnic Germans out of hand. Any thoughts?

To be fair, they're not into the politics of it. The guy I know who does SS-Schützepolitzei does mostly Living Histories and talks about the brutal things that they did to educate the public. But in battle he basically just acts as a Feldgendarmee which is fairly accurate. There were lots of SS-Schützpolizei units on the Eastern Front as well as I've seen a few in Normandy doing police duties for POWs. They were also the scumbags who shot German soldiers and did the shit to the Ukrainians that the regular soldiers (mostly) wanted no part of.

Most of the time NKVD units were regular frontline units who would organize worker militias as well as have dedicated troops. It was the political officers in these units who had their men set up blocking detachments or delegate NKVD troops to other units to make sure there were no desertions or mutinies.

NOw you may be thinking "Why do you need Greatcoats, toques and Gloves in Australia." most re-enactments are in Lithgow. Lithgow gets down to 0 degrees C (32 F) which is EXTREMELY cold for Australia. Not even in the snowy mountains does it get below -2 C (28 F) soooooo yeah. For Sydney, the Average low is 17.5 (53 F).

Try checking out the other vendor before spending evvvvvvvvvvvvvverything from one vendor. I mean sure, shipping money being saved and that. But you never know some are better quality or cheaper. 

At the Front has Mess tin in stock and they're good from what i hear.

I have had a look at Hiki and Atthefront. However, as you say, shipping is a bastard, especially to Australia. Most this at Hessen are much cheaper (Well $5, but alot of $5 equals $50). I was told some tim ago by Duuring to buy most of my things form Hessen instead of Hikki. BUt hey, as you say I might find better quality, and possibly a cheaper price.

But Shipping -.-

Haha, don't get that mess tin from Hessen. It's post-war and not accurate. Get one from At the Front.

I also recommend buying your winter items afterwards. You can more than survive in 0 degree (Celsius) weather with your regular wools if you're good at heat management.

Also, yes. Talk with reenactors and join a unit.

Technically, yes, but it's not supposed to be that tight. The buttons will be repositioned tomorrow, giving me a bit more space. Should be good. After all, none of these thing were factory-produced, so small differences are excusable.

The buttons are bone, if anyone wonders.

Critcize is welcomed? Okay, /rolls up sleeve

Your sack coat, looking glorious.  Your Forage Cap, id recommend picking up a sekela or dirty billy one up (I know you tried at Gettysburg, next time bring your springfield to force him)  Your trouser, looks ok. Your Brogans, looking Fab and well worn hun.

your pards, Good lawd, mein gott. Dem Straw hat are soooo "out" of style. This is 1864 not summer 1861 when Union Army was free and merry and ran like hell to D.C. Git rid of dat straw hat boyo.

Now that boy has too much brass next to straw guy. Mein mein mein mein gott nein nein das ist nicht gut. Schlecht. 

Now for the grand show, the grand critcize of the photo.

That lady over there in green dress. Oh my, green is definately not her color. She need a light slap of a man wearing Hardee hat. Girl! GET ON WITH THE FASHION! JESAH!

And that girl in blue coat standing by the window. That is soooooooooooooooooooo 2005. Get a damn ugg boot and North Face Fleece Jacket, not that marshmallow jacket and missing a Latte from starbuck for 2013 White Girl Impression. Mein Gott, Gettysburg is a Farb town, Civillians and Soldiers. I dank the lord that i wasnt there. Woohoo Bless de Lawd.

Do you bayonet wielding chaps do much in the way of melee practice?

Would have thought it would be rare you'd actually engage close up, but you have to prepare in case it does happen, right? Can't have bayonets through anyone's eyes, after all.

For spears what we do is thrust past the body, then bring the point in to make contact as we pull the weapons back, are bayonets similar?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Mr T on November 29, 2013, 06:43:23 pm
Melee in Napoleonic is basically using the butt of your musket or mainly the barrel to push at the enemy, we don't actually fight with the bayonets even though they're fixed, they'll be used to finish off enemies and for maybe small groups to show the audience, other than that the bayonet isn't really used, too dangerous.

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Ililsa on November 29, 2013, 06:56:55 pm
Makes sense, I guess they keep something of a point on them.

We only use the shaft of the spear for parrying and striking the head (always the top of the helmet) beyond that we thrust past the target and land the blow like we were using the spearhead to slash at them as we bring it back, like I said. We also never make a thrusting attack above the target's shoulders, as it's generally a bad idea what with everyone but the knights being in open-faced helmets.

There's a big difference with shooting a shotgun at a course under surveillance and shooting a black powder musket at a re-enactment. We have enough irresponsible adults running around as it is.

Don't get me wrong, I think that starting with gun safety at an early age is not a bad idea in a gun-culture such as the USA, especially when concerning re-enactments, but I do wonder whether twelve years old is the proper age to start with it. I don't feel kids are responsible enough at that age.

Putting a age limit on sex is so silly. I mean, yeah, age of consent, of course, but are you really going to prosecute two teens who had sex at age 15?  :P
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Millander on December 04, 2013, 07:04:53 pm
 In most clubs you at least have to be 14 to fire however in my company we allow people younger kids to go out on the field as medics and suff. Although not accurate and it does a little away when you have a bunch of little kid swarm you when you go down but it helps with recruiting tremendously because many of the current regular members started of as medical kids (cadets).

I think it shouldn't be judged by age. I have met 13 year olds who are more mature and thoughtful than 16 year olds.

In most clubs you at least have to be 14 to fire however in my company we allow people younger kids to go out on the field as medics and suff. Although not accurate and it does a little away when you have a bunch of little kid swarm you when you go down but it helps with recruiting tremendously because many of the current regular members started of as medical kids (cadets).

I have a mental image of a swarm of children carrying wounded soldiers off the field now.

Like worker ants.

I rather to have some rule that are flexible, rather to be up to company commanders to decide. Thats how it works, generally Battalion staff would have general rule about 16 and above being able to fire. But anything Battalion does not say, Companies are welcome to change. 10th Illinois do allow 16 years old and older to fire but do not allow under 18 to camp without consent or alone. 

However, battalion was able to change the rules for one event when the Boys Scouts (American Hitlerjugend) (mostly 12-16) to join 31st Wisconsin to fall in for the weekend, march, drills, in uniform, even fight in battle with their own rifle, no medic stuff. There was 20 of them in fact. Was very interesting but knowing Boys Scout, they have capablity of  discpline and the organizgation itself is well repuated, i would bend the rules for them. Which my battalion did and it was a success, all the boys had a great weekend of their life.

I typically like tacticals much more because the rules are typically more lax, you don't have to deal with the public, there's more action + tactics (no stage show!), and typically you're on good terms with whoever is setting the whole thing up so things are a bit easier.

I'd probably smudge the rules with Boy Scouts if I had that much loaner gear! After all, my dad was a Boy Scout when he got started into reenacting... needless to say he dropped the Boy Scouts pretty quick when he could march in the field dressed as a Confederate instead. :P

However, I've also been to very strict tacticals where the event organizers actually check through your ammunition at formation and whatever else you're carrying amongst other things like visually making sure of authenticity regulations. ( not to say my typical southern boy reenactments are too bad in the authenticity department - I've seen horror shows from Florida and Texas in pictures D: )

P.S. Also have seen great reenacting groups in TX as well. It seems hit and miss over yonder - which is totally the perspective of someone on the outside looking in.

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!  :o

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  :)
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: DeoVindice61 on December 06, 2013, 06:53:24 am
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. Great bunch of people sharing common interest and having a laugh. Really though, reenacting is all about having good time and put the history to alive for the people. No one should look down to a new comer. We only look down to 40 years old man whos been reenacting as Hermann Goring in Confederate Navy for 40 years and claim it does exist. :P

However, setting up your own unit with no reenacting experience is not going to look good to other unit. Not just the challenge to develop trust and form a unit that would actually get accepted into reenacting community. You generally would look like just a fool to do that. There is alot more critical system and complex in leading a unit than leading a unit online in a game. I highly, *HIGHLY* recommend you to join a unit that was been around for a while, get to know everybody, learn the rope and trick. Make yourself known to the community and form friendship and trust, then you can form your own unit with no problem because everyone already know you instead of coming in like a stranger and claim to be an officer. 

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!  :P

Post by: DeoVindice61 on December 06, 2013, 08:43:31 am
Its quite natural for group of higher historical accuracy to call farbs to others. It happens alot. Especially in ACW, very easy to be Farb as hell. I do catch my unit shaking their head when a certain company walk by, (god they are the farbiest unit i ever seen, sunglasses and bright shirts with yellow braids)

Im sure they'll be happy to have a newcomer interested to do it right. Be warned, higher the quality, your wallet is going thin.  And i doubt the unit would view you as traitor if you do that. I mean if the money allow it, you can be member of many unit you want. Im member of 10th Illinois and 14th Louisiana and hoping to join up 36th Illinois (known for their authenticity), they show up at the same event and the 36th are in the same battalion. I go whatever the side i want to and no one is going to have problem. Occassional cat call thrown at me if i walk by for laughs but its quite normal.

You feckin asked for suggestion and now your going to kick me in the teeth. Bunch of idiots out there unfortunately.  It bother me incredibly more when a farb use the "Lost Cause" and accuse us Yanks trying to control confederate reenactors by saying what you can or what you cant. Bit surprising to see many "Reenactors" believe the war hasnt ended. Its quite funny most of lot come from Son of Confederate Veterans, while theyre suppose to honour the fallen confederate but it seem nowaday, it just mean a club where you can post propaganda and beat the shit out yankees for no good reason.

Just a question, I enjoy watching re-enactments, and I notice that alot of them actually physically have trenches and building, some even bunkers, wich all get destroyed...


Do you know of any groups that go that extra mile to make their experience even more, like some of the videos?

so apparently in NSW, Australia, you dont need a permit/licence to fire a pre 1900 firearm. this is according to a sutler over here in AU.

However, I contacted the firearms registry about that exact issue and they said to fire one you do need a licence/permit.

Two experts and the wrong answer could lead to me going to jail  :-\

this is a mind f*ck for me at the moment...

quick question for you zac, do you need a Permit to Acquire to buy one?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: zac on December 09, 2013, 11:04:41 am
In QLD u can own imitations of pre-1900 without liscence (still cant fire), illegal in ALL other states

Yes u need to send in a permit 2-3 weeks in advance,the Firearms Registry will then give u a form which allows u to purchase a firearm, but u must be over 18 to do so

At present, in NSW (& some other states) antique flintlock muzzle-loading guns made before 1900ad do not require a licence, registration, or a permit to purchase. But replicas of thes same guns DO require a gun licence, registration & a permit to purchase.
These muzzle-loading guns are classed in the same catagory as breech-loading firearms!

direct from the NSW police Firearms Registry on Antique Firearms-

What about an imitation of an antique firearm?

An exemption from the requirement to obtain a permit exists for possession or use of an imitation of an antique
firearm, but not an imitation antique revolver - see section 6A of the
Firearms Act 1996
and clause 116 of the
Firearms Regulation 2006

Read it , doesnt say that u dont need a liscene,"requirement to obtain a permit" "a permit" is different, as u need to have a permit to purchase rifles+liscence etc, u don't need a permit perhaps,but i had too, and everyone else i know. So u still need to be liscenced, therefore over the age of 18. We have 2 police officers in my group and a member of the firearms registry.


in either case i can garantee u that to fire at events u must have a licence and registered firearm

At short range if they go off in the right (or wrong, safetywise) place, blanks can do a lot of damage.

You don't want a blank in the eye, for example.

quick q for anyone who does/has done ACW re-enactment in Virginia, how old do you have to be to hold and fire a musket during skirmishes? I want to go to Cedar Creek next year and was wondering this.

Bare minimum to go on the field with a rifle is 16 as per the norm unless something drastic has changed since the last time I was there. They should update the website for the event in the next few months. Check every now and again to see when they update the page http://www.cedarcreekbattlefield.org/

What bugs me the most is watching Videos about Armies and war, and many Americans screaming "Murica Number 1, We destroy all and save world. We best. We won WW2 outright, no-one would have one otherwise."

Yes, they are mighty.

Yes they are strong.

But it all depends on the situation.

SHould there be a war with Russia? Well, the end of the world so no-one really truly knows.

Let not forget that America also won the korean war, invaded China, invaded Russia, Invaded entire Asia, Invaded entire Eastern Europe, then slowly Invaded entire Europe. Then only one country left standing, that is Straya, land of Strayacunts.  The American prepared to invade but goddamn, them kangaroos got some muscle in their legs. The Marines struggled in battle of Kanga as their helmet were battered into their skulls and the 1st Light Kanagaroo Brigade led a suicide charge over the 101st Airborne FOB then the Aborginals ambushed the 5th Brigade Combat Team via to reinforce the marines. It was successful, the Marines and 101st Airborne collasped, the world watched in shock. First American loss. Then next few month, Australian Army was dropping their lads, kangaroos, aborignals and new zealanders (slaves under Aussie rule) they liberated Asia, They own Russia (cuz communism sucks), they liberated Europe, and now Australia owns America.

Hahaha. Thats a change for once.


The New Zealanders see their comrades getting invaded, and gathers all their sheep battalions onto their wools boats. The American boats are no match for the Wool boats as they can change shape and repair. The Destroy the American fleet, and land on the Southern coast of india, and move on to Afghanistan. The Sheep battalions charge down on the Remaining American Infantry Divisions there, desolating them.

However the Strayan Kangaroo Divisions see what is happening, and charge them down. The New Zealanders are destroyed by the Australians. WHen High Command gets word of this, they launch a full Scale invasion on the Islands of New Zealand. With very few Sheep left, the New Zealand government enactsthe Sheep Cloning act, prducing 6 million sheep an hour. They Force the New Zealanders to fight the Australian Forces, but they refuse. The New Zealanders soon join the Australians, and invade their own country. The New Zealanders loose in 1 hour, but the Sheep Cloning act is still running, and the Australian force get some of their reserve troop onto the Sheep, and enslave the rest of the New Zealand Militia troops.

so Dave Sanders, people in AU will know him, has enough money to make his movie, man conquers space, he was offered 6 million bucks by a single guy.

with the money he makes, he plans to donate it all to re-enactment. He plans if he has enough, he will buy out an entire valley in the Central Coast. This valley, we plan to make a Dark Ages village, with a mead hall. We plan to host an interclub event for it as the interclub event in Australia has become a shithole, its called Armidale. We plan to make it on the alternating year (Armidale happens every 2 years).

The movie, he is starting production in 2015, if all goes well, it could be done by 2019 or so.

The movie itself, is an alternate history movie, which I dont think I can go in depth because that info hasnt ebeen released to the public yet.  ;)

The movie is called man conquers space, website is http://manconquersspace.com/

Please help make this happen.

He may be holding a kickstarter soon, will let you know if he does and you can get some awesome prizes from him if you donate ;)

The no-casualty thing comes from the fact that we get our black powder freely from the event. Meaning people got so much to shoot they don't want to stop.
It's lame, but what can you do?

Oh, and besides, casualties in the Napoleonics were rather light. Especially fire-fights. Most casualties came from melees and artillery barrages.
For example, the British Guards who defended Hougomount took 20% casualties, of which only about 30-40 were actually killed.

Although our powder is free the average guy goes to an event with more than enough. We got 400 rounds each for Gettysburg alone.

And I find it somewhat hard to believe casualties for Napoleonic Battles are light. Compared to you folk im not an expert but you see the big battles Like Austerlitz, Leipzig, Boridino, Ligny and  Waterloo. These battles have roughly the same amount of casualties of Civil War battles.

Casualties were often lifted up to make the victory sounded better. For many of these battles, wounded would be left on the field to the mercy of the winner, which resulted in them being taken prisoner. And most importantly - People take the death, wounded and missing and put them all under death - once again, for the dramatic effect. I'm so sick and tired of people telling me how '50.000 people died at Waterloo'. Borodino is a great example were the amount of killed/missing became much, much higher due to wounded being left to their faith. Incredibly silly wounds which men could easily carry on with, could eventually kill them.

Just like in the ACW, diseases, hungre and terrible medication killed more people then bullets and sabres.

To give you a good idea of what these casualties looked like, here's the exact report on the 2nd NL division during the Waterloo campaign, the men who made first contact with the French at Frasnes.

total strength 15th of June (men and officers) - 7959 (607 horses)
Killed: 240
Wounded:1114
Missing:828
Horses killed: 118

Many of the missing were taken prisoner, (The 27th Jagers nearly lost their entire 6th company at Quatre-bras) but also a great deal were death but never recovered. And some men deserted. It happened.

Don't be mistaken, though. Life for these men was preeetty terrible and none of us would like to trade places with these people, but the real mass-casualties did not arrive until WWI. Even in the ACW, which is who so special attention is given when regiments do lose staggering amount of people. There are plenty of regiments which lost a few dozen men in years of war, but that's hardly interesting, is it? Nation needs its heroes.

At the end of the day, yes, we should have more casualties dropping. Personally, I much rather see people getting bandages, because the amount of wounds>>>>amount of killed. But what can you do? Force them into falling? Nah.

That's also a problem and something I read an article about concerning ACW re-enactment.

Historicaly, the amount of men who surrendered and taken prisoner far surpassed the death and wounded, but it wasn't re-enacted much. For one, people don't really realize it happened that often, but more importantly - People don't know what to do with people who surrender. Finishing them off (or even ignoring them) is far easier and less complicated. And it's 'funny'.

That is true in ACW. No one surrenders. Stupid inbred farbs wanna shoot that moves. 


However my first ww2 event, my unit surrendered and I thought we probably gonna get shot but nope. They told us to move. Rushed us with their rifle butt. Searched us. Tried to steal goodies they found on us. Have us march to the rear. Freaking awesome I'd tell you. I really wish the mainstream event would be like that. Good thing is, surrendering and wounding are common in progressive event. (Thanks Mighty Odin for that).

Even more interesting then the amount of casualties is that these chaps keep tracking of everything.

*snip*

Edit: Yeah, I totally read the wrong table.

The division fired away 515.198 cartridges (HALF A MILLION!), the artillery, foot and horse combined, fired 1078 cannonballs, 309 howitsershells and 206 canistershells. Then there's the amount of lost muskets and other items: For example, the 27th Jagers lost 393 muskets, 408 bayonets and 27 sabres, as well as the battalion caisson (with the administration), probably on the 17th of June.

My apologies for all the edits...I should really read stuff more careful  :P

In 21e, its fine to surrender/get captured if ye pretend to be wounded or something, but if you just surrender then you run the gauntlet of ramrods so basically everyone in the unit gets to give him a hit on the back with their ramrods, Davout went through it in April :D

In 21e, its fine to surrender/get captured if ye pretend to be wounded or something, but if you just surrender then you run the gauntlet of ramrods so basically everyone in the unit gets to give him a hit on the back with their ramrods, Davout went through it in April :D

...

That's pretty pointless. And (with all due respect) punishing (even meant jokingly) someone for being completely accurate.

The no-casualty thing comes from the fact that we get our black powder freely from the event. Meaning people got so much to shoot they don't want to stop.
It's lame, but what can you do?

Oh, and besides, casualties in the Napoleonics were rather light. Especially fire-fights. Most casualties came from melees and artillery barrages.
For example, the British Guards who defended Hougomount took 20% casualties, of which only about 30-40 were actually killed.

I agree with the Artillery, but I found this Interesting. As I understand, this guy is a recognised Historian, who has been Historical Director in a few films.

I might be going Kelmarsh trying out a Rev war impression, should be a laugh blasting away those bloody yanks!

I think there's a UK group that does that, but it's all old farby white guys. Does raise an interesting question though, can people do impressions of units that historically be of other races, like Asian Confederates, Indian knights, Chinese Romans etc?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: George385 on December 31, 2013, 03:49:08 am
of course they can.

im in Aus and although Australia did participate in the ACW, their role was very little and yet i do ACW re-enactment.

Australia didnt play a role in Anglo-Saxon England, i do that too.

Yep I get to die with my entire company in a trench just like they did in 64. All 8 of them. I just hope they want volunteers to do the hand to hand combat. I know all of my guys would love to do it considering we basicly told the rest of the 33rd GTFO now when they got overrun. The amazing thing is there was at least 1 guy who survived the 14 hour hand to hand but died later that day of his wounds. Gettysburg for us was a small hell just because we had the 2 mile march each way. After Picketts it rained just like it did historically which that was creepy as all get out.

If your referring to the rains at GAC I feel you man.  Coming to think of it I remember seeing a big emerald Guards flag in the CS center at Picketts Charge. Were hoping to be in trenches as well bit im really not sure if we will be able to. Would love it if they had reenacters dig their own trenches.

Yeah dont get me started on that flag being there(It should have only been at the culps hill battle but it wasnt ours). Nobody even knows what it looked like originally all they know is it said Emerald Guards and had a Shamrock on it and was green. They say they will have trenches built as they were back in 64 which requires logs lining the sides. I mean I dont think we could make these in less than a day (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fm0.i.pbase.com%2Fg4%2F04%2F177304%2F2%2F28828610.R6bxa0sQ.jpg&hash=6fdde670b69768b3fb589a91cab09da0124d0f66)

I'm a bit confused about the first part. Haven't done it in a long time. Just try some things out.

Important part is that it's air-tight. If you get the stick out, you should hear a 'pop'.

Mmhm. Mine is going to be bigger than yours though, saying I'm using Minie Balls. Also using percussion caps, so that saves me an annoying step.


That reminds me, I made a list of basically everything I needed to get for my regiment. Figure I may as well post it here in case anyone wants to know where to get what. Prices are there along with a link to the site.

Looking into getting either gas canister and gas mask, or possibly some socks, maybe an e-tool and frog. I'm working on losing weight, just so you know. Lost 28 pounds since I started working 3 months ago.

I just ordered a textile M43 service cap, III size gloves, and a toque the other day, should get them this week. Not sure what to get next, but I'm more worried about if I should start getting my actual uniform together, or keep working on field equipment (I still need so much stuff).

You basically can walk up to a reenactor saying "Hey i made this knapsack with my own hand", and your like. /slash knapsack to pieces, "and I made this with my own hands"

Well let's pretend that the Germans never had surrendered to the allied forces and that D-Day was won by the Germans. Would the war still be going on? Would the Germans eventually surrender?

The war is over, the Germans surrendered after Hitler was shot, there is no going back. Id consider it an allied victory though, not a Nazi victory because though Germany controls a lot of EU, they wouldn't have stopped where they are if they had the chance to keep going. And they lost a lot of not just military persons but a lot of citizens of Berlin as well.

D-Day made little difference to the outcome of the war, 10% of German forces were deployed in France, the other 90% were desperately trying to hold back the glorious Red Army. It probably cut the war short by a few months, at best a year, but the Soviets were always going to win.

I might pop by few time. Not a big TS user myself. 



I have watched Unsere Mutter Unsere Vater when i picked up the dvd copy in Berlin.

Excellent Series, one of the favorite war film of all time now. Would buy english version when its out.

Graphical, i wont say it was. Compared to BoB and The Pacific, it's nothing.  The show is more focused on the mental abuse that Wehrmacht struggled in Eastern Front.  But yeah that child exceution had me offguard. I was reaching for something and looked -BAM- nearly dropped the stuff. That's the Waffen SS for you alrighty then.  :o

I didn't like the Pacific that much because it switched too much between characters. If they had focused more on just one character and his comrades in arms I would have felt more related to these. Instead, they switched characters just as one was starting to become interesting.

lol. this isnt to do with re-enactment but in cadets, i havent been able to do anything because ive had an ingrown toenail, which i finally got fixed, for about a year. so every wednesday night i was on cooking party duty... for a year.

The one thing I can't stand when I see Napoleonic and American Civil War reenactors is the ridiculous difference of uniforms. I understand that it's different groups together, but seriously... You have 4 fusiliers, with 20 linemen, with 6 grenadiers, all in different color uniforms, militia thrown in there too. I know it's a pride thing, but i think if people would join each other, actually take the time to get correct gear, and look like a real unit of soldiers, whether it be half a company of 50 guys, or a full company of 100, would just be fucking awesome. That's what deterred me from Napoleonic and ACW. In WW1 and later, units are smaller, so you have an excuse to say, "my 10 guys is all we need!"

That's still a fucking awesome .gif to see people marching in perfect unison. I'm sure that must have taken a long time to get correct.

Petschie, you are overlooking a few details. The Napoleonic period spanned 20 years and a dozen nations - the ACW four years and two nations. The Dutch tend to be more 1815-aimed, the French 1808ish, the Prussians 1813, and so on. You can't control peoples interests.

And getting 'some' extra gear for another impression is really not that easy. Besides the historical difference then uniforms were so widely different from eachother and unique for nations if not regiments, Napoleonic uniforms are EXPENSIVE. They range from 'okay' to freakishly difficult. Historical accurate tailors are near unaffordable and simply not worth it. The amount of sutlers we have is nothing compared to ACW, and once again far more expensive.

I've seen some ACW re-enactors being able to portray a completly different regiment by simply adding a badge on their hat or buying a 40$ red shirt - That luxury simply doesn't exist in the Napoleonic wars; Uniforms are RIDDLED with specific-unit-insignia. And when historically uniforms were the same for multiple units, it's almost a rule that there's only one group doing them - Simpy because people don't want to or even aren't allowed to portray a regiment with the exact same uniform as another group.

Let me rephase all that into one sentence: Petschie, you bought all your stuff on internet sites : I was lucky enough to be able to purchase buttons and a sabretache from a website.

 Napoleonic re-enactment is a good deal different from other periods, and not just in foppy uniforms.

@Munk, blue suits you better. But still nice ;)

idk, sometimes i wonder about zac  ::)

and gunpowder is also highly illegal to obtain... and cops in your group zac wont matter shit when the firearms rego finds out that you are making cartridges illegally... its like 20 years prison plus like a 100 000 $ fine. the firearms registry didnt think about us re-enactors in AUS when they made the laws, there are no exceptions from the laws for re-enactors. therefore re-enactors must obtain a cat AB licence (or something like that) to even pick up the firearms they are going to use it for re-enactment purposes. Thankfully, the ALHF (Australian Living History Federation) is trying their best to get the laws changed so that re-enactors can freely do what they want for re-enactment and public displays and such.

If its not legal, why can i go down to the gun shop, and buy an ammunition making kit HMMMM, just bought Double F powder today, why they sell powder?? HMMMM

And we arent part of ALHF, insurance etc wise atleast

The laws arent as simple as they seem, and the guys in our scene who do it, have alot of knowlege on the laws and in the 6+ years ive been in it , the registry etc has never said anything

sometimes i wonder about u

because you have a licence... and you have a member who is part of the rego? ive contacted the rego myself about it, they have said its a big no no very clearly. I was considering learning how to gunsmith and i contacted the rego about it and did mention ammo making... They said it was not a possibility, legally, in any way shape or form. idk how thats true when people like the Dubbo Gunsmiths have done it fine.

are you sure thats the case? because i might make a complaint to the registry about that then, if i can find any proof, that computers harddrive is long gone so i dont think i can get back that email. But, they shouldnt be giving out false information, thats for sure. I wonder how many more lies they have fooled me with...  :-\

sometimes i have a strong hunch that the firearms rego is 1 fat dude sitting behind his PC and making up shit as he goes...

I dont mind if someone reenact as Generals. I mean, Generals were actually there at battles duh.  But what get me the most is that many "general" reenactors are like the loners. They dont join a unit, they just show up, set up battlefield hilton and talk to the pubs.  They almost never go near the battle. Nearly never. -_- Not even on a horse and sneaking by the rear and observe, nope they'll be in their camp and eating funnel cake.

(fun fact: My first battle had Grant, Sherman, Lincoln, Lee and Longstreet in the audience, end of the battle, we marched by them as they saluted us and gave us handshake afterward. Didnt know that Lee, Longstreet, Grant, Sherman and Lincoln hung out together at battles)

Post by: Duuring on January 21, 2014, 06:59:39 pm
We have a Belgian napoleon that gets to Dutch events. His staff numbers between four and a dozen men - All in rich, showered-in-gold uniforms. One of them has the uniform of a naval captain (I mean, really?). They also have a mamluke who has the cheapest and most inaccurate version of a mamluke uniform ever. He's also white as milk and fat. Really really fat. Like, target-practice-for-a-gun-ship-fat. And, last but not least, he's a dick.

The problem with staff officers is that regiment-groups generally don't want them playing the boss over them. And why would you? These 'staff'-groups are, in the eyes of a ranker-re-enactor, made up of men who think themselves too great to be wielding a musket. And face it, they generally are. So these men start playing famous characters, which results in event organizers calling them in (Cos every event need a boney).

The only good 'staff' re-enactors tend to be those who portray such a rule in the regiment they started in as a ranker (and most of the time, still are). These men are trusted by the group, which mean there is no 'emotional' barrier into following them. A staff officer can be the greatest officer in the world - Groups that don't know him won't follow him as much as those who do. It's the general 'You're not in my regiment, so I don't have to listen to you' (Which is kinda true).

I'm just happy Napoleonic re-enactment is really tight and friendly. People know exactly where they stand, so conflicts and drama are kept to a minimum. Though I do expect one of the French groups to fall over in a few months.

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Davout on January 26, 2014, 01:36:23 pm
No one apart from 21e members are allowed to touch the eagle because of its value and meaning to the regiment.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: GodsonGuys on January 26, 2014, 01:41:52 pm
Just like the American bald eagle, because of its representation of democracy and power?
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Mr T on January 26, 2014, 01:49:24 pm
Well to 21e, our Eagle means so much to the regiment I think because it was presented years ago by the real 21e Regiment in the French army in a special ceremony. For that big reason it is protected at all costs. Historically speaking, the eagle to a French regiment was ssacred, it was given to them by Napoleon himself and represented a regiment's pride, losing the Eagle in battle was a disgrace to the regiment, its why French regiments destroyed, burnt or severly damaged their eagle's when it seemed very possible that it could be captured.

So with 21e, our eagle is protected at all costs because of the historical accuracy side, and the fact that it means so much to the regiment.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Davout on January 26, 2014, 01:51:05 pm
Our proper Eagle was handed to us by the real 21eme a while ago before they disbanded so it has that sentimental and financial value

Out of the battlefield its fine. people can look and touch to see the stuff on it, but under guard. In battle its different. At one event our Sgt and Cpl went for some Dutch guys as they tried to take the 45e Eagle and they nearly got a beating.

Its one of those unwritten rules. DO NOT EVER try and take an Eagle unless given permission by the regiment it belongs to.

There's a group here who made a battalion flag. They have absolutely no sources for it. Their officer just designed it. It's just beyond stupid. I can give the full story, but I don't know if you guys are up for some more flag-rage  :P

Yeah, I know about that rule. I know all about the do and don't guys, I've been re-enacting for 3,5 years okay  :P  Mind you, it's different per country. That's the issue with unwritten rules, you see  ::)

-REENACTMENT TOPIC-

The emails are pouring in from my unit. First ACW event coming up on March 2nd "Miller's March XXII" 8 miles of marching and a break to cook meals then  8 miles back. I went to last year march, had amazing time and it was beautiful walking among the Illinois River in a State park. Now im just not sure if I should go as Confederate or Union. The Union tend to have more progressive reenactors showing than Confederates. (This is how i met the 36th Illinois Co.B as well)

This saturday, Military History Fest, going to see Guardsman Master there and will be showing up with 275th Infanterie, we are going as combat look. Hope hotel dont mind our muddy asses.

Have fun at your events. I've got a training the 9th of February. But I'm going to spend an entire day digging in archives next Tuesday. Hopefully. Gonna find out lots of Dutch peeps in the late Napoleonic. I'm seriously on my path on becoming the expert of the 1813 period in the Netherlands. I know da shit, yo.

That's an ugly flag. It's like someone forgot to put the important shit on it.

Oh, I found out that, apparently, Willem Francois Boreel, historically the creater and the commander of my regiment, became part of the freshly organized city council of Amsterdam (which was made after the French ran like little bitches) on the 18th of November 1813. We didn't know that.

Just a week later the regiment was made, so I'm gonna guess Boreel was lobbying like fuck for that entire week. "Hee guyyys. U know what we need? HUSSARS! I can totally make a regiment! Would be coooool!" Or maybe not and it really was asked of him to make it. He was one rich motherfucker though.

Anyway, it is a ugly flag. But useful.  They left white spaces for Regiments to put up whatever they like. Most placed their regiment numbers or full names with numbers.

I just read a Dutch newspaper from 24 November 1813, which had the 22nd November Proclamation published in it. That's like the De Facto Dutch declaration of Independence. Everybody forgot about it of course... Pretty Dutch. Sure, we like the fact we are a free nation, but remembering those who actually achieved that for us? Nah. Not really. Even the government just gives all the credit to the King. At the other hand, stuff that happened 200 years ago tends to be rather...uninteresting for the average person. We re-enactors are a strange lot.

The fun part in the same newspaper, just above the proclamation, there's a little paragraph that says that all kids who live in Orphan homes 'are permitted to' join the military forces; and after the enemy is defeated, they are allowed to return to it. Basically, they are calling up poor parent-less kids to defend the country. Cos (hard truth) nobody is going to miss them.

Damned...I found someone with my last name in a newspaper article printed on the 29th of November 1813...As one of the four appointed Captains of the newly raised 5th Batallion Amsterdamse Schutterij that would fight at the Siege of Naarden the following months...

But as far I can tell from my family tree, the guy whose first name starts with the 'W' (All the newspaper says), isn't directly related to me. In fact, he seems to be from an entire different branch of the family. So the changes I'm related to him are very slim...But still. I knew there was a reason why I was so interested in the Amsterdam Schutterij. Really got a geek-boner for them.

Also depends on what period and unit you'd like to do. Petschie, you are going for a full 100% accurate SS impression. Which is something you'll feel in your wallet.

I was originally going to post 'Which you'll feel in your butt', as that's the place where your wallet is kept (backpocket), but luckily I realized how bad that sounds before I clicked the post-button.

 I have always wanted to do it just not sure where to start because how homemade everything is, but through a tailor thats a good idea. I never would have thought of that.

My Warrant Officer is but a low NCO, but my Staff Officer is that of a Captain :)

Montmirail is looking like a great event. My only slight worry is that I have an exam like 4 days after we get back on the Monday 2nd June.

PLACE & DATE
The re-enactment will take place on the historic battlefield, which has remained unchanged since 1814, at the village of Marchais-en-Brie.
It is possible to arrive and set-up camp on the site from Thursday May 29th in the morning.

The re-enactment will take place on the afternoon of Saturday May 31st and on the morning of Sunday June 1st whilst in the afternoon, there will be another commemorative events linked with both the First World War and the Franco-German reconciliation of 1962.

RE-ENACTMENT GROUPS
Around 1.000 infantry, 100 cavalry and 10 artillery pieces will be invited, roughly divided equally between both the Allied and Imperial forces.
The French infantry will be organized into three full-scale battalions (350-400 men each).

ORGANISATION
The battle will be carried in accordance with a scenario that will be established prior to the event.
The battlefield will only be accessible to those wearing a distinctive wrist-band that the OC will distribute to participants.

ACTIVITIES FOR THURSDAY 29TH MAY
As from noon, the re-enactment groups will start arriving.

Please note that a local prefectural decree has ordered that all vehicle access to the re-enactment site and surroundings will be in force as of 1am on Friday 30th May, which is why the OC strongly urges all participants to arrive on site prior to that deadline
The OC understands that it might not be possible for all the re-enacting participants to be present Thursday 29th May but if this the case for you, it is your responsibility to advise the OC of your arrangements so as to be able to receive you in the best possible manner and to get clearance from the local police and gendarmerie forces.





ACTIVITIES FOR FRIDAY 30TH MAY
•   Powder distribution.
•   Equalization of the different platoons in each battalion.
•   Battalion commanders and staff meeting, followed by an inspection of the battlefield.
•   The battalions will perform and perfect their soldiers and officers in the school of the battalion.
•   Ceremonial Officers’ Dinner.

ACTIVITIES FOR SATURDAY 31ST MAY
•   07H00: Réveil
•   10h00 to 11h30: Official Inauguration of the event.
•   11h30 to 12h15: School of the Battalion for all battalions.
•   13h30 to 14h00: Battalion commanders and staff meeting.
•   15h00 to 17h30: Battle of Montmirail.
•   17h30 to 20h00: Bivouac and camp life.
•   20h00 to 21h00: Concert with the Reims Philharmonic Orchestra..
•   21h30: Bivouac closed to the public.

ACTIVITIES FOR SUNDAY 1ST JUNE
Battle of Montmirail (1814):
•   07H00: Réveil
•   09h00: Bivouac opens to the public.
•   09h00 to 09h30: Battalion commanders and staff meeting.
•   10h00 to 11h15: Battle of Montmirail.

First Battle of the Marne (1914):
•   11h15 to 12h15: Re-enactment of Lt.Gironde’s cavalry charge as well as demonstrations by period taxis and biplans.
(Please note that the 1914 bivouac and event will be in a completely different place and will not be mixed with the Napoleonic event)

Franco-German Reconciliation (1962)
12h15 to 12h45: Arrival of President De Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer.
(Please note that the 1962 event will be in a completely different place and will not be mixed with the Napoleonic event)

Final Ceremony
•   12h45 to 13h00: Presentation of all the re-enactment groups to the public, speeches from official representation and the playing of the European national anthem.

Afternoon :
•   From 13h15, the bivouac is opened to the public once more.
•   16h30: The event is over and groups may start leaving.
(Please note that for groups that come from far away, it is possible to break camp from 16h30).

CAMP-FOLLOWERS
The OC will only allow 3 female camp-followers per platoon (roughly 45 men and each battalion will have between 6 to 8 platoons) will be authorized to go onto the battlefield. These ladies will be given a specific wrist-band in order to be properly identified. These ladies will ensure that they are sufficiently provisioned with water for the troops.

All other camp-followers (non designated women folk, sutlers, gentlemen, children, etc.) shall remain strictly off the battlefield. They will be given a special area amongst the public to be able to watch the battle.

UNIFORMES AND EQUIPEMENT
•   The OC asks that the re-enactors be clothed in their campaign uniforms.
•   The Imperial Guard will likewise be clothed in their campaign uniforms. No parade or ceremonial dress please.
•   In order to be even more historical, it is asked that all infantry wear a shako (except the Old Guard which will retain their bearskin caps). Should participants not be in a position to be able to wear a shako, then bonnets de police or pokalems will be tolerated but BICORNES ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN except for officers.
•   Equally forbidden is any attire associated with the French Revolutionary armies (eg. Striped trousers, bicorns and other headgear, etc.). The OC counts on each participant to make all the necessary efforts to avoid these anachronisms.
•   Official photographers accredited by the OC and in sufficient numbers will be present to take photos of the participants and the event. Please don’t take photos in the ranks as it looks silly. An internet site will be put on line after the event with all the photos taken for groups to download..

Yeah, he had around 35 guys around him listening in getting pumped. It's pretty amazing to hear an actual officer give a speech like that. He just got back from Atrashistan and I hope he never goes back. 4 tours is 4 too many, although I appreciate his sacrifices.

Well, combat tours. He's done non-hazard tours as well so it all equals a lot of time away from home and a hard life growing up as a military brat. I'll tell him.

Not sure if he's going to be a Captain at Spotsy, but he has the uniform if he needs to be one. We all like being privates anyways, haha.

Okay, I'm not trying to be a dick, but you know that's historically not correct, right? They didn't use cotton. They used linen.

I mean, I have no problem with being having inaccurate stuff or whatever, my gear sure as hell isn't 100% accurate, but it annoys me a bit when people tell visitors their gear is very accurate or even 'just like then' while a closer examination proves very differently. That honor goes to those people who spend thousands of pounds, dollars of euros and hours of bloody work in getting their gear really as close to 100% accurate as possible.

Mr. T, there is no reason for such an attitude. We know Duuring is very "up-to-date" with what's correct and not, and when you're here talking with other reenactors, be prepared to be told something doesn't look right... Shit, I've just started getting my impression together, and have already dealt with "that's not right/that's Chinese crap/etc." Just relax.

Also, I suggest you don't make personal taunts to Duuring, because I and the rest of the 1. Sturmdivision "Duuring Boven!" will find you, and make disappear. ;)

I'm not really one to talk, but why is ACW filled with extremely fat old men with ragtag beards? At least I'm 6'4.5", so it's hard to tell I'm fat, even 20 pounds lost makes me look really skinny. But, one of the things that deterred me from doing ACW reenacting, besides how overly-expensive it is, is the fat old men.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion

Thats because your looking at farb units.  Look at progressive units, theyre mostly filled with slim young men who do it right and willing to loose weight. Alot of progressive reenactors i know used  to be fat and now they're nice and slim. Of course the doctors probably advised that or he wanna look good but no, most of the answer was "so i can look authentic" 

But i agree about ACW being expensive, took me one year to get there and yet took me 4 month to complete my WW2 kit. 

P.S. Facial hair was big during this time. its ok to have a beard, in fact. Having a beard is majestic. Disrespect the beard, you may kill yourself.  Thats one of my main struggle in ww2. Clean shaving every month aint fun. I want my goddamn beard back.

But this fat people in reenacting is just pointless anyway. There always will be fat people in reenactments. Its up to them to loose weight or not. I know many fat people wont loose weight but still willing to do it right by getting right material, and wearing them properly (fat people are notorious to have their belt hung at modern waist level instead of bellybutton level. I personally think as long you wear it right, its up to you to keep the fat or not. Aint no one gonna be a dick and judge you. If someone do, surely that guy gonna get his ass kicked.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: kpetschulat on February 08, 2014, 11:53:35 pm
Well, I'm a big guy, as you guys have heard me say quite a bit, but I'm not THAT big. I may be 320 pounds, but people don't realize that until I tell them. Most think I'm high 200's. See, the thing is, getting gear while being big is hard. I'm going to start working on losing weight again, but the process is long. I'm planning on just getting a bike and going to start biking once all this fucking snow in NJ goes the fuck away. I'm currently a 51" chest and a 49-50" waist, same at the navel line. If I lost even 20-40 pounds, I'd look perfectly fine, and you'd never even realize that I'm overweight, especially with all the gear on.

For example:

From November, 2013
(https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/1524917_10202684815261070_445234247_n.jpg)
[close]

I don't look all that big, I just look built, as many people also believe. I have a lot of muscle mass, but also a lot of fat. Since November, I have lost another 15 pounds. I'm actually around 320 right now. But, the whole point of this, is that looks are deceiving. I might not look that big to most people, but my bodily dimensions seem to disagree.

I cry that I have health conditions now because I used to the skinniest, and most athletic, kid on the block. Now, I'm the opposite.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on February 08, 2014, 11:58:06 pm
True, absolutely true.

Though sometimes people do really touch the limits. Like that WW2 guy. Why do Fallschrimjagers? Those guys were fit as fuck. In Napoleonic re-enactment there's a pretty huge British guy, and he re-enacts a flanking company officer. It's completely his right to do so and nobody is allowed to forbid him to, but I can understand people having criticism at his specific choice of portrayal.

He was once featured on that imfamous Farb Fest facebook page, and a shitstorm occurred, which led to a pretty big exodus of Napoleonic re-enactors. That page is one of the saddest places on the internet, though. If I remember correctly, even our own beloved Milly was once posted on that pic - After he posted that pic on another page asking freaking tips to better his impression. I mean...come on...

That pic doesn't work, Petschie.

Im currently 220 pounds and 48 chest with 38/39 waist. Im going for 150 pounds The uniform and gears in ww2 truly do easily hide your weight but they cant hide your chest, My chest looks huge when im wearing my tunic and i hate it. (my tunic still need to be tailored) but im still gonna say its because of my fats and im going to loose it.

I'm very lucky for my height, I know it. If I was anything under 6'0", I'd be a fucking meatball. I actually just weighed myself, and I'm currently 327'ish, but I haven't worked since Thursday, and I've ate a lot. The good thing about my job, is that it's very active and I get a good work out at times. When I couple that with biking, eating right, exercising, etc. I'll drop wait like a mother fucker, for sure.

And, Duuring, joer5385 is right. That's really low weight for someone who's 6'1"...

Oh, you're a shortie. Idk why I remember you saying you're 6'1"... I must have done the calculations wrong at some point and always thought you to be 6'1". My bad, honey bunny.

Because 5'10" is short... I think that's about average height nowadays from men, or at least Americans.

The stupid part is that you can be anything from 177.1 to 178.4 cms and still be 5'10".   THAT'S AN ENTIRE CM! So not accurate. Please Yanks. Metric system=Best system. Anyway, I'm technicly 5'10 1/2". Average American height is 176 cm (5'9")

Just wait. Average height here is 183 cm and I'm not quite done growing. HAHA!

Woohoo, i got myself into a progressive confederate unit and got invited to attend a semi-immersive event. Not a mainstream event as it promised.  Pickett's Mill in GA may 30 - June 1st. Bit funny since last week AC on fb promoted Pickett Mill AAR from 2004 and as far I read. It sounded like an incredible event, especially when one guy said he had to leave the ranks to help them push a cannon uphill.

http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/showthread.php?3995-Pickett-s-Mill-AARs (http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/showthread.php?3995-Pickett-s-Mill-AARs)

Portraying 8th and 19th Arkansas infantry reg! This mean i can wipe the dust off my Columbus Depot Jacket and bring it on the field. I really hope i can make it to this event seeing how I possibly have 3 out of state event happening in May. (150th Spotsy, 150th Resaca, and now 150th Pickett Mill.)

George, when you say you hope the belt will hold your trouser up?   Well, they wont unless your gonna hang it at farb level. (regulation say belt must hang around the navel). You will need suspenders or another thin belt underneath (roller buckle)  to hold them trouser up.

Keeping this in mind im shooting for a weight of 140 pounds which was about the average weight of a civil war soldier. All about dat Authenticity.

Easy to make some po'boy suspender. Find a cloth and double bind them. then cut hole at the bottom of strip. Ta'da.  Very simple and cheap considering all you have to do is go to a fabric shop.

I'm developing hyperparaplek-fobia

hyperparaplek-fobia: (Noun) ; The extreme fear of/for the extensive use of gold or silver braid, particularly those used on the officers uniform of Napoleonic re-enactors. From the Greek word of παραπλέκω, meaning braid.

I did spent 15 minutes trying to find the Greek word for braid, yes. And I'm not even sure this is it, but I'll go with it.

Lol  seem this is a training weekend. Because Munk had his drill yesterday, and I had mine today. Drilled with company then Battalion for 4 hours straight. My right arm is sore due to the fact i have not held a musket since July. But was great to see my pards.


Bad news for 150th Spotsy.   I have decided today I will not be attending 150th Spotsy due to the fact I have two out of state event that are better than spotsy. Asking my father to take me to VA and then GA twice in a month is slim. So I have managed to to find a ride to 150th Resaca with my Pards to GA. And then my dad will be taking me to Pickett Mill event in end of May. So I find Pickett Mill more better than Spotsy. Sorry guys.

I'm lucky in that I get to train two hours every weekend if I can make it and the weather permits.
The weather pretty much always permits, we were training in pretty nasty winds today.

How heavy are muskets generally, by the way? I'd say our swords are around 3-4lbs, it's just the constant use and speed of it that tends to wear you out incredibly quickly and mean you can't lift your arm much the next day.

The worst part of reenacting is when your right arm start to get all sore. Your officers begin to order right shoulder shift, support arm, trail arm and you're like aggghhhhhhhhhhh.

My only fear is that the exam date I've been told isn't correct and the exam actually happens on the days at Montmirail or a day or two after, then I'll probably have to cancel.

Well, that was akward.

Someone posted a photo of an 'original' uniformjacket of their unit from a museum. How it showed cool stuff. I questioned whether it was accurate - and was made fun of. "Lol there are more important things like a jacket, plsss xDDDD" (okay not really, but it felt like that). Then I explained how just because something it's in a museum and they claim it's authentic doesn't prove anything. Little bit of discussion and then the officer of the group decided it was enough - and removed the photo and the discussion.

Basically, their entire facebook page is just a medium of their officer to post his research. Anyone questioning it is made fun of or their posts are simply removed. God, and I almost forgot why Re-enactors are so annoying...

This is the group that, after 3 years, decided that Flashguards might be a good idea. Even though it's a official NAN rule. It's the same group that claim they are a campaign unit and are still thinking, after 4 years, about whether or not to get backpacks. It's the group that claims they had jurisdiction over the army and says their 2nd lieutenant was a NCO while their 1st lieutenant was an officer. They made a battalion flag completely to their own design, ignoring all regulations. I can go on.

They re-enact the Douaniers Imperiale by the way. They got some okay people, but I do not like their officer and he does not like me. Refuses to talk to me, even. It's ridiculous. A dude over thirty refusing to talk to a 16-year-old.

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on February 25, 2014, 10:21:54 pm
They claim (or well, their officer does) the douaniers were light infantry. I've not found a single example that proves they were trained light infantry, and I've done extensive research in the Dutch liberation war (where they did fight).

What I did find out is that there's a pattern - the only Doauniers that fought at the sieges were ones that got cut off, like in the north. Others simply marched, or rather, fled home. The units that stayed were welcome because they were all French, which made them more trustworthy then the Dutch or Prussian Etrangers. They did their part, I grant it to them, but I have found nothing that proves they were any better or worse then the other troops. They fought like the rest and deserted like the rest.

The flag bit is pretty funny. You see, apparantly, in Hamburg, Marshal Davout formed a unit of Douaniers into a regiment. Now, those never, ever, left the city, but who cares? They portray that unit. Well, except for the bit that they don't really portray any specific unit. Just the 'general douaniers'. Anyway, so they made wanted a flag, and choose that unit. Now, they do the '1st batallion'. But you see, 1st batallions have white flags. But they didn't like that. So they choose green. And then they added a silver Jäger horn to show they were light infantry.

And there's more! I'll just won't bother you people with it.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: joer5835 on February 25, 2014, 10:36:43 pm
Now that you mention it, when I first saw that flag I thought it was the 27ste flag, you know considering they were jagers.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on February 25, 2014, 10:39:57 pm
Unfortunately for them, 1st battalions actually carried regimental flags. Which were always tricolours. With or without eagles. I actually opened the link the guy posted as a source, and white is for SECOND battalions. Green for 5ths.

But yeah, they're special. I dare you to walk up to their officer and ask about the flag, why it's not a tricolour. He'll say 'yeah campaign unit' or 'Douane was different'.
Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: joer5835 on February 25, 2014, 10:45:49 pm

Title: Re: Reenactment Discussion
Post by: Duuring on February 25, 2014, 10:51:16 pm
Which is why it has been a NAN (Napoleonic Association of the Netherlands) rule for AGES. Yet it wasn't a rule in their group until after Bathmen, which was in early 2013. They do now.

Depends on the group. If you got proper training and everyone is aiming their musket and nobody has a misfire, sure, it will be alright. It's not that firing a volley without flashguards is extremely risky, but well...The rule is there for a reason.

The Battle on that Saturday was horrible, it rained right before hand fore like 30 min. then we were the last Brigade into the fight and fired 7 shots and were pulled out for no apparent reason as we were not flanked or compromised in any way. The Saturday night battle was canceled due to more rain so me and my unit shivered and froze as we took off our jackets to dry them over the fire. We were to wake up at 3:00am sunday and form for the tactical yet myself and those sleeping around the fire were awakened to one of the cooks telling a private he was on fire. We all looked as he sat up and patted his smoldering sleeve. The fire had gone through his wool blanket his jean wool frock sleeve and stopped just before burning through his shirt. We all looked in amazement as he had a shocked look on his face then he began to laugh and we followed suit. The worst part about burned jean wool is that the smell is terrible, it is a combination of burned Mutton and Tomcat Piss which made us not want to eat breakfast but we knew we  had to. After waiting an Hour and a half for the Yanks to pull their arses out of bed we commenced in the cornfield battle which was exhilarating and terrifying all together. after the cornfield we slept in the field to wait for Up-Comes-Hill. That battle was cut short do to improper troop training i.e. dehydrated people, soldiers who use pyrodex,and soldiers who don't realize they did not fire then load 10 more times with it finally going off. The only real downside to that battle was when my Battalion was fired upon by a cannon from 25yds which is 25yds inside the safety limit. One man received a piece of shrapnel in the ankle(tin foil from the gun.) others had partial hearing loss. All in all it could have been better but it could have been worse also. As for the Other Antietam Event I hope they enjoyed themselves even though it is not an event I would attend ever.

Looks like an awful weekend to be honest. Crowded and so fakier than Halloween. The drapes came off the wood "bridge" and confederate flag for every company at the sunken road. The Irish brigade were terribly portrayed. Bunch of long haired hippies with dismounted cavalry mixed in the rank. That event gave me eye cancer. God bless Dordak for showing me Maryland my Maryland video afterward.

I hate artillerymen who use tin foil. It looks horrible, it's dangerous, and it's not in any way safer then brown paper.

Nice video, thooouuuugh I wish the cameraman would have chosen some better camera angles. You know, without all the visitors and modern stuff  :P
You know what we need? A Napoleonic-era 'Gettysburg'. We can do it about Leipzig maybe? Waterloo is pretty overdone, even I acknowledge that. Of course, I'm always a great fan of the Liberation war  ;)

Not at all. Our events are fiction based battle. We don't reenact a historical battle. It's not my guilty pleasure at all. I am sick and tired of doing mainstream events. Which is why I'm joining progressive units to attend progressive events or at least bring progressive experience to a mainstream event. My event with my mainstream unit is currently mostly limited to living history event and some battle. I will be going to battles with progressive guys mostly from now on.

Sick of marching peacefully when we really should double quick it. Sick of skirmishing on museum ground.

Munk you're just pushed that I'm crapping on mainstream event. No need to push me. Being progressive is a choice not a requirement. I chose to be authentic while you chose to be mainstream. I'll respect that.

alright so I sounded  a little hard there.  sorry about that cook.

Yes  i would love to do a progressive event in the near future same as all of you.  I just don't like when people say that event is bad just based on the word that it was mainstream and therefore should be oMG MAINSTREAM SUCH FARB.

Post by: DeoVindice61 on February 28, 2014, 03:06:10 am
Unfortunately it is a mainstream event that went bad. GAC all over put up a messy clusterfuck while BGA or Chris Anders put up a period clusterfuck. But yeah mainstream lately get the shit from progressive guys. I'm trying to respect them as much I can but when your going progressive, you sort of note how easily a guy from mainstream go to progressive but you see that every month for one year. It's enough to make you sick that one one bothers to at least try it.

Being farb on other hand get one way ticket to "get the fuck out"-ville. Not only farbs ruin the stuff, they make it worst for themselves. Spending entire day on Friday to unpack then missing out Sunday battle to repack while I simply walk in my camp with a knapsack.

The most you'll get in 13th is transitional plate armour and coats of plates. My group's time period just precedes both.
You want 15th century for proper Gothic and Milanese harnesses. That also means there'll be plenty of manuals.

shh, theres alot more to it than plate armour..

my plan is to reenact Robert the Bruce.. and do an impression of him.

why? because hes an ancestor of mine, my family line goes all the way down the Scottish royalty line, down until James VI, when that fuckin bastard decided to follow the English royalty line instead, so i have freakin bastards/bitches in my family now like Henry VIII

Definitely mounted, probably preferred to use an axe as well if the way he dispatched a certain English Knight is anything to go by.

As for adult, I'm crap at maths but the wars seemed to last from his mid 20s to his late 40s.

Hey Wolff, that's my favorite song! I heard its mostly sung by German American in 1861. Franz Sigel was very popular man in US, the army used him to pull German American volunteers such as Thomas Meagher forming the Irish brigade since he was popular among the Irish in NY.

Basically a song to rouse the German American to enlist.

Ja das is true! Ich also goes to fight mit Sigel!

he was a Scottish noble, he betrayed William Wallace and he fought with the English for a bit. he lived to 55 years old, he was mounted. he retired from combat at around 1327, died 2 years later, after winning Scottish independence.

Which hat? My M40 in my belt? I could have put my M43, but I don't like the look of the M43, and it's also a full cap and will bend and fuck up in a belt.
 

That M40 is mighty purdy, almost makes me want to goosestep into Paris

Video of the biggest Napoleonic reenactment in the UK last year, advertising the same event this year (my first event), but not sure why they would because its not going to be very big this year, the Napoleonic Association aren't going this year and nor will 21e because on Montmirail.

Nice shots of the 21e though, and its a good video, despite its slight bias to the Allies at the end :(

What. "Fag" means cigaret, its slang term for it. Had nothing to do with gay people, my aunt is gay, makes no difference.

It means alot of things, yes, including Cigarette, however it is also used (Mainly in North Murica') as a Homosexual Male.

It too refers to a "Bundle of Sticks" but I was asking my Uncle why he hated the Word "Fag" - referring to the Bundle of sticks. To this he replied that many Homosexuals have been burnt using a Bundle of Sticks. So, it has its close terms. Honeslty, he said he doesn't give a shit what people think of him, but my family do.

Petsch: The bayonet sheath goes through the little loop on the back of the folding shovel carrier to keep it from flapping around.

It was German regulation that ammo pouches should be one matchbox length from the buckle. Yours are too far to the side. The buckle should be sitting on top of the overlaying flap and be aligned with the seam.

The canteen is fastened to the exterior (closest to your hip) D-ring on your breadbag. If you carry your mess tin on you, it will be on the other D-ring with the equipment strap. Both the canteen and mess tin have the leather bits that go through the loops on the breadbag... however for convenience sake I only attack it for the mess tin and keep the canteen free, just on the D-ring.

Examples:

I wasn't in Craonne, but I know a little bit about this from german reenactors:

A Sergeant of the 22e carried a bottle port withhim. It should go to the allied, who can catch him. Sadly the Allied weren't able to catch him.  :-\

And also I heard, that there was an unplanned night combat, near the french camp. At the same time the French staff have had a dinner  ;D

It was in the same weekend as Munk's event. You know, with all the snow  :P Also don't judge too soon on these guys, they're the only Soviet group in the Netherlands and they're doing their best trying to dress all of their new members.  :P

We FINALLY got our event list for this year yesterday! :D So pumped for it too, we've got a lot this year and some that happen very near each other in time and two which are on exact same weekend so people are choosing which on.

April 11th/13th- Ickworth House, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk: We've been invited by the 95th rifles to their training weekend, it looks like a really good event since the whole NA is going too.

April 26th/27th- Grand Historic & Vintage Bazaar, Rufford Abbey Country Park, Nottinghamshire

May 17th/18th- Trples Wargame Show

May 24th/25t- Hunton Court, Kent: Usually the biggest Napoleonic event in the UK, this event is days before our trip to France so who knows what 21e turn out will be.

May 29th/1st June- Montmirail, France: Our big event this year, really organised event by the looks of things :)

July 5th/6th- Colchester Military Tournament: Going to be a very big event Napoleonic wise with the NA and individual units invited, its also a multi period event.

August 24th/25th- Cannon Hall, Near Barnsley, Yorkshire: Invited by the 33rd Foot, they've booked other independent units too. In my opinion, this will be the event most people go to over the below one.

August 23rd/24th/25th- Odyssey, Kent

October 3rd/5th- Whittington Castle, near Oswestry, Shropshire: Looks like a really cool event with a cool location, invited by 5/60th Rifles for a planned skirmish.

November 5th/9th- Malta: Not a lot of information yet.

Well, the first paragraph says that it's allowed to break the rules if both parties have agreed to it and it's safe.

The rules are necessary though. The rule to have flash guards on your muskets has been in the rulebook since at least a decade and there were still groups that didn't use them as late as last year. My favorite group *cough*, the Douaniers Imperiale, suddenly decided to get them after someone had been injured (always takes a casualty to get some change) and the NAN didn't do shit about the fact they hadn't used them for years. It makes it rather hard to keep to the rules if you know that people who break them get away with it.

That being said, apart from the Rules-mania, the NAN is a great organization and we're truly blessed with it. They represent all the Napoleonic re-enactors here, and doing a damn fine job at it, and that way we managed, and will manage, to get some nice events.

Pretty much every french unit uses those backpacks and we have lots of different uniforms but prefer this one because its smarter.

You see, that's impossible. Nobody wore Bardin uniforms in Russia. Nobody. It's probable that no Bardin uniforms were even issued until mid 1813 and the first to get them were new units with no depots, like the Garde Nationale. All the main sources (e.g. Roussellot, Rigo, Bocquoy) agree on this point.

The first time the Bardin uniforms were universally issued was before the Waterloo campaign, in which there were barely any imperial insignia worn. Certainly not 1812 flags and eagle shako plates. Soldiers weren't allowed to modify their uniforms on their own accord - Having an item that was not according to regulations (And Royalist or not, regulations are regulations) got you into the guard house. In the few months that Napoleon had between returning (Which happened to be today, 199 years back! Hurrah!) and mobilizing less then three months later, getting new stuff was really not high priority in near-broke France.

If you want to take a swing at me or my unit, go ahead. I will not, however, stand for blatant and repetitive insulting of the NAN. People work hard and spend days and hours working on that organization.

Paul Lindsay Dawson. He got all the shit. Plus, he takes pleasure at showing re-enactmentgroups how they are incredibly unhistorical. Maybe a bit too much, but for someone who does that many research yet keeps being ignored by people who refuse to listen to him, it's kinda understandable. He's arguably among the best (as in, most historical) Napoleonic re-enactors.

It's people like you that don't re-enact.

It's also people like you who think it's fun to, repeatably, insult volunteer organizations that work incredibly hard, in their free time, to give re-enactors a good time. To make sure the battle is safe for the horses. To make sure we have enough firewood and water. Now, I never planned to do this, I didn't really care, I trusted you were good guys. But you started it. I said I'd ignore it, and you did it again. That's an insult to the NAN, to the volunteers, to the council and to me.

I also never claimed to be perfect. I know the errors in my impression, and I acknowledge them.

I'm also not asking anyone to buy 3-4 uniforms. I'm asking people not to claim they are historical accurate while they aren't. That honor is to people who actually work hard at it and do full-time research.

We have had historians talk to us and not once did they mention inaccurate uniforms. No one gives a fuck about if its right or wrong. We do battles, drill and guard places. We do it so well we get asked to do it again and again. You are the only person who bitches about uniforms.

We are good because we can fucking reenact well. Our drill is near perfect and we can create a bloody good battle.

To be honest no one would give a fuck on your opinion of our uniforms because we are proud to be in them. We were given the blessing from the real 21e to wear them and we aim to keep that pride. So you can take your shit little dutch opinion and shove it up your arse.

Do I take pleasure from telling you this? No, absolutely not.

Yet Davout, you did take pleasure at insulting the NAN, so there's that. I expect an apology towards the NAN council and the volunteers. Do it here, on steam, on Private messaging, I don't care. But as I have respected the work done and time spend by the 21eme, I expect you to respect the NAN, her people, her actions and her done work.

 Just saying you just contradicted yourself. But im gonna be neutral because i aint no napoleonic reenactor.

Settle down folks and quit insulting each other like bunch of kids. Seriously, fighting on internet over reenacting? That make you no more than 10 years old crying.

Do you realize people died in this war and today we are saying "oh yeah we do it for fun! All that shooting and stuff. Fun fun fun. The way we mowed them down! Amazing! Gotta bring family into this carnage!"

Have some respect for the uniform you wear. Because not only you represent yourself. You represent the veteran of the war. Pubs view you and will judge how vets acted back then just the way you acted at a reenactment. That may have been dumb thing to say but honestly the world is filled with morons who can take thing literally. Deal with it.

Honestly, shut the fuck up and do some research and share them with respect. Act like living historian dammit.

Someone could have the best drill, best combat impression, best mindset, but if they came to a WWII reenactment with a full East German kit, I personally would tell them to go somewhere else and do a cold war scenario.

The idea that you are "good enough" is a terrible one. It's that same kind of droll that poisons the mindset of our generation. Why go out and buy a pack with your hard earned money that you know your unit didn't carry and still show it off like you're hot shit? No, you've got an impression to fix up and no amount of "Yeah man, fuck those guys" is going to make your impression any more right. No matter how many fields you fight in, no matter how good at drill you are. There's an instrumental part you're missing.

You know what, the general public may have no fucking clue what century you popped out of. They may not even know you're french if you didn't wave that flag around. But don't you have the duty to everyone around you to look the part? You don't walk around with a mirror everywhere you go when you reenact. You do it for the people around you.

Keep your pack. But once you can afford the correct one, I highly recommend you seek it out and buy it or have it made. I certainly would.

EDIT: Got so caught up, I forgot what I came here for... pictures from Lugoff and Enfield!

If we were made of money we would probably buy all of that stuff but we arent. All this "correct" stuff is considerably more expensive as there are only 2 people in the world who will supply it to the UK.

We see nothing wrong with our image as we have become the biggest French Unit in the UK. Why would people join a unit that looks crap? We dont look crap. The real 21e said we looked great.  Thats something no other units get.

Respecting the people who actually wore the uniforms has got nothing to do with it. We respect them in every way. Wearing a slightly incorrect uniform is not disrespectful at all. There is no disrespect ever from anyone in our unit. People who say we disrespect them can fuck right off.

Post by: kpetschulat on March 21, 2014, 01:27:47 pm
I'm just going to add to this conversation, guys. As a person who is new to reenacting, I am doing my absolute best to look as correct as possible (despite my weight) for my first event EVER next month. Yes, there will be some major discrepancies, but I'm taking the time to research and to learn about how the soldiers looked back in the day, how they wore their equipment, what they carried on them and in their breadbag, etc.

For example: I posted a picture of me in some of my gear in this thread a few pages back. My ammo pouches were dreadfully wrong, and guess what? Besides bitching about how incorrect it looked Davout, I fucking fixed it, and now I know how to properly put my ammo pouches on my belt.

It's not about being incorrect, it's about being incorrect and trying to correct your incorrectness. Shit, it may take me over a year to get to a point where I can say, "I look really damn good and that's because of all the people in this hobby that helped me and all the research I did." Just take it easy, Davout.

How? How is the 1810 uniform, or a modified 1805, any more expensive then an 1812 coat? I'm not sure about the shako plates. I believe the 1810 shako plate is the same design yet somewhat smaller then the 1812. The 1815 uniform is, as far as I'm aware, really just your current uniform with Royalist insignia and shako-plate.
The uniform combination you wear is at best applicable for mid 1813 (German campaign) to mid 1814 (France campaign).

Napoleonic re-enactment has a few disadvantages. The uniforms are expensive you really can't get the correct uniform for every period, I'll be the first to admit and defend that. My uniform, for example, is 1815. We portray the 6th Hussars at Waterloo. We do events that are 'based' on 1813-14 as well. You'll see units in 1806 uniforms, 1812 uniforms and 1815 uniforms all fighting together. Is it historical? Absolutely not. Can we do anything about it? Absolutely not. For me, it would mean getting a second expensive-as-fuck dolman and all new (black) leather. For some groups it would mean getting new guns, new shakos, or sometimes they won't technically even allowed on the field. If we'd force people to get all those uniforms...We'd just have no re-enactment. It's impossible.

Napoleonic re-enactment is different from ACW or WW2. It is the period where groups portray a certain unit in a certain period (Like us, 1815) and fight units who might be completely different period. There are some units that try to make up the difference. Like the 9e Chasseurs, they wear shakos for later period and bicornes for early, or here, the Dutch marines that have bought shakos to look more 1810 (to do 1813 period  :P). The problem is with people not know what period they re-enact exactly or start making incorrect combination. I have no problem with people carrying an Bardin uniform with Imperial insignia at Waterloo. I have problems with people saying it's historically correct - Mostly it's often the same people who point at more obvious incorret uniforms and say 'oh these faaaaaaarbs'. Research is also a bit harder. We don't have photographs. Eyewitness accounts mentioned little about uniform details. And so on. It's not impossible, just hard, and I've discovered that myself.

Napoleonic re-enactment is also a bit rotten at its core. Most groups started many years ago and at that time we knew very little about what was historical and what wasn't. Groups bought uniforms, groups got bigger, and then when they're told they are wrong, they either say 'well, sorry, that's a little bit expensive!' (which is absolutely true) or they go full defensive 'YOU ARE DISRESPECTING MAH RESEARCH AND MAH UNIT!'. Here there's a group who bought Charlevilles 15 years ago and only recently discovered that the unit they portray switched to Brown besses two months for Waterloo (which they portray). They decided not to, because it's expensive as hell, Dutch gun law is difficult (Stop laughing Munk) and people weren't willing to get rid of their buddies after 15 years. Is that a bad group? Hell no. They're awesome. They go the extra mile, standing guard, having pickets, and the shit. They've pushed trough some uniform changes (like a new forage cap and a different type of epaulet) after discovering that the uniform regulations were a bit misunderstood and not entirely pushed trough in 1815.

Here I agree with with Davout. In Napoleonic re-enactment, it's really the actions that show your seriousness and historical accuracy. It's also about being honest to yourself and visitors. If you are willing to tell yourself, other re-enactors, and visitors that the uniform you are wearing is actually not 100% correct for the battle because your unit portrays an earlier or later period, you have my respect.
