Firstly I agree within say the context of using original french/european muskets as those that have survived would generally be in atleast a somewhat decent state. Here though it's different as the Brown Bess was being used well into the 1860's.
and I agree in part, but here as mentioned before the choice is India/Pakistan or Pedersoli. And trust me, we see just as much issues with Pedersoli here, but they produce the best short pattern bess there is. The quality is also unmatched for the price
I forgot most of my fellow Anglo's have escaped from here so I do apologise. That was more of a sarcastic meme than anything :p ..although my ' official' position should my masters professor ever find this is that they all indeed belong in museums
I probably should have put a notice that most of my comments were within the context of Australia.

The one thing I am proud of down here is that we have a total ban on using original muskets at events...pistols etc are another story but muskets njet. Too many issues in the 1980's etc besides the fact that in most cases they 'belong in a museum'. Pedersoli all the way

A very common thing in the ww1/ww2 scene tho..all i'm hearing is excuses

Distance, cultural differences and of course language barriers. Plus, while civil war is between two sides in a period of 4,5 years, the Napoleonic is over a period of two decades with a dozen different nations, many of whom switched sides at least once.
But you see the difference between our generation and that of the previous ones. More people speak English, and it gets more and more easier to re-enact in other countries (with regards to gun laws). It's up to us to seize this momentum, to be fair. The old generation is not going to do it.
Can agree . The language thing has got easier. Spent a while in Hungary at the beginning of the year and even kitted up for some 1848 stuff and was amazed at the amount of people who spoke English. Especially after I said I wasn't British or a Yank all went swimmingly hahaha...
There's a chance to change the napoleonic scene and I think it's at a stage where you either try and push for what Duuring is saying..or let it collapse. Everyone said Waterloo 2015 was going to be the 'revolution' and that it was going to fix the hobby...and while it has lit a spark the vast majority of groups have done absolutely nothing with the momentum. I mean I still recall in July 2015, all the Aussies coming back speaking of 'changing this and that' and well guess what...they've gotten even older, no new recruits and nothing has changed.

« on: June 20, 2018, 03:59:39 am »Flags are so annoying. Everybody insists on getting one, on always carrying it, and they never do it correctly, impression nor position in a formation.We are never getting one for our napoleonic impression.
Apparantly the Dutch 85e wants to make pikes to make new unarmed members colour guards. I hope it's not true, but if it is, how about you just try to re-enact a normal platoon of line soldiers correctly before you start looking for 'additions'.
lol...the australian 21e set up those same pike colour guard guys about 3 years ago for that very same reason.........
