Dennewitz is in Southern Brandenburg near Jüterbog.

And for everybody who will come to Leipzig: You have to look at the Saxon Infantry. These guys are amazing :D

ehm, The Saxons will be against you. It was the same in Großgörschen. The Allied haven't had enoug troops, so they switched the Saxon Bataillon (around 90 men) to the allies in Großgörschen this year. And same will be in Leipzig.

I just realized: I keep being told there is a shortage of French. Yet you say it's the other way around. CONFUSION!

Is there nobody coming to Veluwezoom (30 nov-1 dec)? THERE WILL BE RUSSIANS!

As I dont reenact any eras involving firearms, I have always wondered, how in the hell do you know you have been hit? I know its not like medieval when you are bashing the **** out of  people with actual metal swords.

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

Wish I can go to Leipzig. I'm going to be in Praga around that time. :(.

Though I was at a "reenactment" yesterday at rothenburg where everyone dressed up....medieval.

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"

Dennewitz is in Southern Brandenburg near Jüterbog.

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!!!


Speaking of Leipzig, the 21e is going to be part of the rear-guard that is left behind after the only bridge gets blown up, no escape for us :'(

Hopefully next July I'll be in and around both Leipzig and Prague visiting friends. I'm not too good with my older time frames, but when will the Leipzig reenactment be?
