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

i'd want to be in re-actments! but im only 14! lol, i could be a private though!

------------------

[Rieben]

lol...

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

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.

that must be hella expensive to get one of those!

------------------

[Bürgen]

yeah, pretty much...

our SdKfz 251/D cost us around $13000, and know we have to get it here (portland) from england.
