do they give you equipment or do you have to bring your own. and do you have to bring your own gun.

[Jaakko213]

@MLIPHANTOM22 No everything is privately owned for mostly everyone, some fee-paying units may supply thier own guys with some gear maybe a rifle (legalities concerned), but as far as just showing up you get nothing unless you're in an organized unit like that.

[CrysoFairy]

how do they know they were hit?

[Jaakko213]

@CrysoFairy you either blatantly see someone shooting at you, or if your rifle jams, or if you run out of ammo, or get too tired you just take a hit. Sometimes its coordinated to entertain a crowd but with this reenactment in particular it depends on the day, first day axis advance, second day allied advance.

that jagdpanther at 0:50 isnt original is it my guess is its a converted T55 or T34

[Jaakko213]

its a StuG III ausf. f/8, but you're right it isnt original, the 9th SS panzer reenactor site says its a "replica built for a mini series". Although the tiger tank that came last year was built off a T34 chassis.

@dude13302 orite mate no need to call me an idiot just because i miss identified a tank, sorry im not an expert in identifing german tanks and in the future dont go around calling people idiots because they miss identified a tank

[thrashorbethrashed]

@airsoftspartan89 both dont have 5 wheels not 6. and russian tanks dont have the 3 backrollwheels. the tracks run back directly on the wheels.

Not to be a asshole but there is supoesd to be snow

[skipsassy1]

Don't you have to pay a fortune for the transfer taxes for automatic weapons? I can't affortd the $6,000 per machine gun and rent instead, do they all own those MG 42s and such?

@Jaakko213

I always get tired of explaining that on when to take a hit. Thank you for saying this from the Kraut point of view as well. 327th GIR will see you this year again.
