We (A.murphy, Waffenampt, Dickonwheels, and I) are all members of the Pacific Northwest Historical Group. We are re-enactors, of WWII and Viet-Nam. We put on public displays and re-enactments to teach ourselves and the general public about what it was like to go through these wars. check out www.pnwhg.org

Id love to do re-enacting to but i dont think germans shouted whos yo daddy when using the mg-42 i know i would http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
It must be hard to do theres a few things i would find hard to understand rule wise. For example say you're 100 yards from someone and an enemy has his back to you and you fire does he automatically drop when he hears it? or how does he know hes the one thats been shot??

Yes that isn't that uncommon. Hell us in the 12th SS just bought a SdKfz 251/D Halftrack, and the 1st Infantry just got a GMC CCKW 2 1/2 ton Troop carrier. Our sister unit to our south, in California, just bought several german tanks from the army of Syria, who bought them as surplus after the war. They will have a complete armoured column, with a possible 4 (!) Panzer IV's and 3 StuG III's! We are in the process of restoring a '38 Ford truck (see the Z28 topic) as a light troop carrier for the 12th, and I am looking into geting a Kublewagen by the end of next year. The russian unit in Califonia has a T-34/85 battle tank and the british unit down there has a bren carrier.
There are lots of clubs around the world opperating with a multitude or armoured and soft vehicles. ------------------ http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/bi...rop-var-15.jpg "Victory at any Price!" SS-Panzergrenadier |

I only know of one opperable Tiger around, and it is in France (apparently they had a few laying around after the festivities). And I'm guessing, a few Million Bucks....

you could probibly get one from the studio that made 'em for SPR...

That gun is the M1919A1 .30 caliber. The early version of the ones you all seem to think of as the genaric .30 cal. The M1919A1 was water cooled and as such VERY heavy, as such it was mainly used as a vehicle mounted weapon. But it was used widely by the US infantry early in the war untill the aircooled M1919A3 (the one you allways see in games) entered wide-spread use about mid to late 1942.

that would be the 30 caliber, browning machine gun!!!

Von Paulus - The Germans Have about 30 Soldiers, and There is always a 95% Turnout to our events. For the Americans, It they have nearly 20 Soldiers, and they also have a 95% turnout rate. Everyone is very motivated.
When the Battles begin, We are all issued a small piece of paper in our Wound pocket of out Tunic, and for the Americans, just in a pocket or whatever. We are not allowed to look as these, as they are KIA/WIA cards. They system wounds like this, If I was moving forward, for example and was shot down by an American, I would take a "Hollywood Hit" (that means you act and fall like you really got shot, falling down, screaming, etc..) and then I would reach into my pocket and look at my Card. My card would read any one of these choices: 1-KIA : Killed in action. You just lay there until dragged back to our lines, and then you would act as a Replacement for yourself for the Rest of the Action. But would not be able to join a battle already in progress, and you would come in during a lull. 2-WIA : Wounded in action. Then under WIA, it would tell me where I've been wounded, in the face (Blinded) the arm(s), main body, Sucking chest wound, Etc, Legs. If I was wounded, then I would not be able to continue on fighting, Our Sani (Medic) can bandage us up and we would slowly get better as the re-enactment goes on. That's basically it. Vassili - If I shot at you and you were 40 yard away, with a full powder charge blank, You would know all about it. Trust me. Sometime though hits are hard to tell, and the theory is that if you are in serious doubt about it, Take the hit because they probably did get you. And Its boosts the other sides moral, If you take a hit with no problem, then they well feel the same way about it. On the Battlefield we try to kill eachother, but off, we are all Brothers. |
why dont u guys play it as laser tag like the war games the real army has. They got tanks and choppers bazookas rifles and everything set up with lasers, but they r firing blanks. So it sounds real and u actually know if u get hit or not.

A W.W.II Re-enactment/Living History Event is an attempt by a group of Volunteers to Portray Soldiers of Select units in a 'as obtainably realistic' and historically accurate environment as possible.
How do we go upon this? First We must appear as the soldiers we are portraying, with the correct uniforms, field gear, food, and psychical condition. Second, we must Think in the same matter, this means researching the attitude of the Common Infantryman, recognition & knowledge of Rank and the issuing and carrying out of orders, Using as much of the Primary language of the Army you are portraying. Thirdly, We must fight like the soldiers we are portraying, this means in depth personal knowledge of Weapons, Tactics & Field Commands. Every one of these so called primary principals is extremely important, With intense research going down even to the stitching of the uniforms and the smallest of details. Veterans are interviewed by Club Members, and this is the best and most rewarding part of this amazing hobby, meeting those who where actually part of this incredible time in our past. An 'Event' is actually divided into two different classes. The First being a Public - Living History type. This means that we are there to display the lifestyle and fighting to an audience as a educational tool to bring History Alive for everyone there to see. We rarely will stage a battle for the audience, but sometimes it is requested for them to get a more interesting "Show." The Second type is a Private "Tactical" Battle, which is not a battle the public is not ment to attend, these battles/events are made to make every member feel as if he has burred the edge of time into the past and forget anything of recent and immerse themselves in authentic surroundings. In these events, Nothing is staged or rehearse whatsoever. We Arrive at the Site, and step into character instantly. A Typical Tactical Event is as follows: On Friday, everyone arrives and the Campsites are formed. One Allied, one Axis on opposing sides of the battlefield. Everyone is to report in, file paperwork, and is issued ammunition and a light dinner is served. Everyone is required to have Guard or watch for an Hour during the night. Everyone sleeps in period conditions in four man tents for the Germans, and two man tents for the allies. In the morning at 8:00am Everyone is alarmed and readied, a quick breakfast is prepared and we March to the Front. The Battles then Rage from all day, into the night and into the next day. Ground is usually bitterly fought over, and switches sides often. Food if available is brought to the front line soldiers by assigned personnel. At the End of the Event, everyone is called into a club Formation, Issues and Ideas are discussed and dealt with, and then everyone marches back to their original rear-echelon bivouac area. Everything is cleaned up and packed up, and the Final Unit formations are held, and everyone returns to the 21st Century. That is very, very basically it. I personally have never experienced a more enriching and amazingly interesting, not to mention Fun Hobby! |
"why dont u guys play it as laser tag like the war games the real army has. They got tanks and choppers bazookas rifles and everything set up with lasers, but they r firing blanks. So it sounds real and u actually know if u get hit or not."
The Same reason why we Dont use Paintball Guns, The Equipement detracts from the enviroment we are trying to simulate. In Paintball, everyone would have to wear face masks, and Etc. In Lazer-Tag we would have to attach ungainly items to our weapons and wear the battery and scenor harneses. You dont feel like you are in WWII when you are running around with stuff they didnt have. It is like running around with M-16's and wearing incorrect uniforms, and just calling it WWII re-enacting. Trust me, It would suck very much to wear all of that crap, If we wanted to just bust caps and kill eachother off and a large hootenanny, we would just wear our nikes and play paint ball. |
oh yea, or u could always just beat the enemy unconciose with ur gun. ern urself a medal.

when the medic bandages you do u get a new card?
If you are 3 guys walking in a row and you see a muzzle flash and hear a gunshot which one is hit or do you all fall down?? How much ammo do you have and how? how much does this cost you and where do you buy the equipment. ------------------ http://3rd.homestead.com/files/Vassili.jpg "...await the right moment for one, and only one well-aimed shot" -Vasily Zaitsev |
