i like the idea, and i would be willing to help out (even though i am a Confederate), but i dont like it that much to pay all that money for flights, hotels etc for one or two events, i probably would if it was like a massive reenactment like Gettysburg last year, but if im correct, not many EU ACW reenactors out there.

There's enough, though obviously not as many as the US. Tends to be the Germans and us Brits who have a crack at it

There are many events all over Germany which we could attend. Also there is every year a quite big one in Denmark, There is a small one in the Netherlands every year too.

so far we have attracted 6 people behind this idea. but we will advertise it better in a blog perhaps.

It has been decided That we will portray the 6th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Were in the process of gathering the depot gear at this time which will be plentiful for anyone that wants to check this great hobby out completely for free.

Though it is preferred that you are willing to invest a bit of money into your own stuff after a while.


Biggest issue at this stage is still getting enough guns.

I really would like to do Reenactment, but a) I'm not 18 yet  >:( b) I would like to do ACW Reenactment, but ACW in Germany... you know lol but Napolonic Reenactment also, but I don't like this guys wearing really crazy stuff, so how to choose?

I would say that's clear, isn't it?

Btw, I'm making a hauberk, I don't even know why I'm making a hauberk if I'm going to reenact ACW  ;D

Lucky joer  ;D
Yes, you are allowed to buy muskets when you are 18. To use muskets you need a black powder licence also, of course.

If your are a foreigner you do not need a black-powder license.

You can freely walk around with these guns in Germany, if your 18+..
Fire them you can only if your a foreigner or a German with black-powder license.

If you are under 18 you will be sporting a non-firing dummie that actually does look quite good:


Ted why don't you join us!

Gu laws are different in each country. I know my unit here in the Netherlands has a permit for the entire unit and it's members, so not every single individual has to get a license.

Edit: Oh that's exactly like my 1853 dummie!
