Let's discuss: Reenacting!

[The Mighty McLovin]

lol 

Why do those British Highlanders have beards? Only sappers were permitted to grow beards.

[Olafson]

Complaining about that? The whole series has uniform inaccuracies everywhere.

This series was made for general public TV with a low budget (90% of it was to pay Christian Clavier lel). Its only use is to show a bit of living history to children.

[Mr T]

Yeah it's not particularly great.

I love how in one scene troops in a simple black coat are shown as French troops while they are the Russians in another while the Cuirassiers look as if their breastplates were made out of plastic at the same time. And let's be honest: All British uniforms look cheap and bad as fuck lol

However, it made little kids start thinking about history and about Napoleon in special, therefore it has done its job.

Some of you are planning to go at Feuquières in late August ? I heard some UK/NL people are coming

[Mr T]

Not us sadly

Hi, I am thinking about joining some prussian reenacting regiment. Does anyone know about some? I live in the Czech Republic (I'm expecting to travel a lot as in Czechia there are very few prussians  ).

[Vorposten]

I don't know any in Czechia Sadly. I know there are some groups in Poland. Then there is the 2nd Guard Infantry in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany and some mor units in Germany too. But in Czechia I don't know any. Maybe you should look for Austrian or french units, as they are more common in Czechia caused by napoleonic battles. (speaking for Napoleonic Era).

I don't know, whether there are any 1866 or 7-Year-War-Prussian units unfortanetly.

[ZuLeweiner]

Thanks for answer, Vorposten.
In Czechia there are no prussian regiments, unfortunately, indeed. We have just Austrians, French and Russians regiments which are members of C.E.N.S.

I threw my post here, though, because via google I coudn't find any decent prussian regiment from napoleonic era.

That's 'cause I was searching in English, I guess. :-)

[Vorposten]

And? How was Jena? Saw some pictures and videos... 800 Men on the battlefield?

Also, I hope Leipzig won't suffer from this event in terms of attendence.

[Olafson]

Jena was great.

[Wolff]

the event was great but the battle wasn't very good in my opinion. I am sure Leipzig will suffer a bit.

[Cara]

Jena was great.

Yes it was ! Much fighting with the voltigeurs
