Guest Pillar Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomServo Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Well, think about it .. WW2 = World War Two... Reenacting = acting out. Haven't you ever heard of Civil War reenactments? Well they have ww2 reenactments. We go out, dressed in period uniforms and weapons, and shoot blanks at each other.. its great fun, and a perfect learning experiance.

Lorak Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 what is it? Reenacting is where you dress and act the part of diffrent countries and reenact battles that took place. Pillar I know your into Role-playing. So basicaly it is just a live action role-playing game of WWII, Civil-war, ect... Sorry to use the word "game" in there. but thats the closest definition I have.

Guest Pillar Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Sounds cool, but expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Warrior Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 I have done civil war reenacting but not WWII. It really is a lot of fun, but wargaming is still my first love. ------------------ March To The Sound Of The Guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomServo Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Pillar - it is very expensive. But well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onnel Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 I do lots of Victorian reenacting (that's my main hobby - British uniforms and equipment from the 1800's). Here in California, I do British Airborne Recce, usually tasked with carrying a bren (though I've carried the morter more than noce)...BASH ON! One of our fellows down here now owns a STUG, a 222 and now a stuart...another fellow has a T34. there are usually numerous jeeps, a motorcycle or two and various other vehicles (down south they have a few half tracks) as well. It's just about the best hobby you can imagine... Anyone in Northern CA interested in getting involved, let me know...we're just starting to have Eastern Front battles as well. Finially, once a year a bunch of Japanese reenactors come over and we fight them. they're about the nicest people you'll ever meet and we have a great time.

Hamstersss Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 I'd love to join in Onnel. Wow, to see the infamous Stug in person. Its almost like meeting Dolly Parton or Richard Simmons... I'm in Oakland, is that north enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomServo Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Onnel, the 2nd SS(i believe its 2nd)group came up here for our June event, they invited us down for the November event there, we may just come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Party Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 DO you re-enact being dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Anything in or near Ontario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomServo Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Neutral Party - is that a sarcastic remark? or are you talking about pretending to die when you are hit? For now we just take the "hit" and go to the "dead pool" where we wait a certain amount of time, then we go back to it. At our last event in June we did some mock-battles for the Public were when we were "hit" we would actually stay ont he ground, .. but.. yeah.. Piller - Yes, i'm sure there are some near ontario. We have some people that come from Alberta and Saskatiwan(i can never spell it correctly)to reenact here, but there are some units that way.

Guest Molyneaux2 Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 Used to be in the Welsh Guards in the 80's. dropped out to do Viking and English Civil War. Thinkin about gettin back in by way of Soviet impression, there is a good unit in the Kentucky area or so I have heard. Would be neat to do East front, no bloody US para's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TomServo Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 We did a East front impression last march. That was fun... those russians were entertaining w/ their charges... We're doing a small Tusnsia event in sept. w/ just british and germans(maybe some gi's), that should be great. I've been wanting to do a normal infantry impression.
