Share your Reenacting Video

[Duuring]

I'm not saying it's a million times harder. But, it is harder and basicly impossible. Then, the level of historical authentic (In ACW re-enactment) is higher then I imagined. And in fact, higher then Napoleonics.

I mean that I've seen dozens of videos of ACW re-enactors marching completely out of step, while we easily train 3 hours a day at that on an event.

So, let me re-phrase it: Having a (battalion-sized) line of ACW re-enactors in the same uniform is, for the regular uniform, easier then having a French Battalion. And I'm not talking about badges and the detailed stuff. I meant, in eyes of the public. Then, In Napoleonics, every regiment has different buttons...

Then you've never seen a progressive/hardcore unit before. basically, what I dont like, is that you make it seem as though acw guys don't have to put forth any effort. Which is just not true. both napoleonic and acw reenactors put forth huge amounts of effort and neither side should acuse the other of not trying.

Also, im using my phone so I apologize for weird spellings and suff lol

I'll let you know that I am not the one that has been under constant watch since he joined the forum.

I apologize if I sounded like that (reading back, I did sound like that), it was not my intention. But I keep with my opinion: ACW units clubbing together look easier the same then Napoleonics.

I've only been under watch for 2 days

Don't lie. Besides, I'm also not the one trowing around personal insults.

For god's sakes, it was a joke. You even joke about it.

Love how the French really jump over the wall and get pushed back. Also, don't forget to go to 4:40 to hear the Dutch warcry.

Oranje!
BOVEN!

Hullo! Is that the 7th I see at 3:15? If I could actually travel easily and had enough disposable income and some more riding experience, I'd love to join them.
As far as I know though, they're in Wales, I'm in Northern England.

Regarding what Duuring said about the amount of different things you'd need to accurately portray the Napoleonic Wars, note the British Hussars there are in pre-1811 gear, tall busbys and white lace. Having a separate uniform without the white facings, in gold lace and a shorter busby would probably set each of them back... well... a lot.

Not sure if it's more on the very expensive side, but the tailor made Pelisse's I've seen were roughly £1000, and the Dolman £600, rounding up.

Not commenting on how difficult re-enacting different wars is, just backing up how costly extra uniforms would be.

ACW reenactors can march lol To be fair, these guys are some of the best reenactors around.

lol back to the topic...

This is from the epic Cornfield scenario from the rebel perspective. It was soooooo smokey.

And this is a pretty good speech from the same event.

Also, the Waterloo event is on original ground right? That video was pretty cool.

Those rebel yells are pretty impressive, do they do some sort of coaching on how to do them properly?
Wanted to learn ever since being a Confederate Officer in N&S, never got around to it because I'd rather not startle everyone in the vicinity.

You will love this rebel yell then... (14:20) I'm in the federal  battalion kneeling there when they are yelling. There were about 2,000 rebels at that event...

Nice use of the vignette and filter there. A bit heavy, but makes things look a little cinematic.

Seems civil war reenactors create a lot of smoke.

[Millander]

At my battle so much smoke from muskets and cannon in such a small area made it so we couldnt even see the rebels and spectaters!
