One of my guys at work is deep into WW2 reenacting. Some
of these guys are out of control, I have some pictures of Hetzer
tank destroyers and Hanomag halftracks.

I'll see if I can scan some of these and post em.

For some odd reason, all the people in the picture look like dolls.

My father once got nearly killed by English Civil war reenactors. I think I was about ten at the time. We went to see some battle reenacted and ( bear in mind that back in the 70's the health and safety gang hadn't ruined everything back then ) we were sitting very close to the action. A big box of explosive went off to simulate a cannon ball or something and a bloody great piece of wood came flying down and belted him across the back. If we hadn't all yelled "duck dad" it would've hit him on the head.
It was wierd seeing my dad sitting in the first aid tent with a load of blokes dressed up like rounheads and cavaliers with broken wrists arms and stuff. Guess he bacame a casualty of war that day.

Exiting stuff for a ten year old.

Reenactments back then seemed almost as dangerous as the real thing.

Well if you had the lions and tigers they might not be too happy.

knock yourself out. i don't think it gets used anymore.. haven't heard about any shows there in quite some time..

and when we're done.. we can overrun reliant stadium (or astroworld!) since they all share the same parking lot

I can see it now, busloads of AH "re-enactors", dressed out like the wehrmacht, standing in line for the Cyclone & arguing about who gets to ride in the front.

At the moment I am playing Softair, I have to find the photos taken during a "Softair teams - Reenactors" meeting near Cassino, in the same places of the famous battle.

We had to fight against the Waffen SS

Here, part of my squad (I am the first on the left).

Maybe it's a stupid game, but it's funny, just alike pretending to be a fighter pilot in front of a monitor.
