How long is the actual reenactment as a whole? By this I mean showing up and drilling and being with your company - not just the fighting. Do you arrive a week ahead of the battle reenactment?Thanks - this vid inspired me! :)

@Butternut731863 Camps usually open a day before the event, close down the day the event closes

I dont get these Reenactments, how do you know when you get shot!?? Or are you guys firing some sort of plastic pellet?

[jimjamyou2be]

No plastic pellets. Generally it's the choice of the reenactor, who may drop if he's out of "ammo" or tired, although it CAN be a planned event by random selection.

by the end of the weekend I learned to hate that danged hill we had to march up and down. As for being over fed we was finally livin off of the fat of that northern land.

How many men were there for this reenactment?

[YogSoggoth7]

@xXHearTBuRN14 At the ones I was in, the Captain gives each infantryman a certain amount of rounds. He might give one guy 20, another guy 12, and another guy 6. When you run out of rounds, it's pretty much your time to fall.

@jimjamyou2be I think we got there about 3 p.m. on Wed. Got our camp going, and pulled out the next Monday morning.

It was a real mess how the organizers set up the CS artillery on a slope with wet grass rather than on the flat field by the barn. I spent more time waiting in the artillery park, or sitting in my truck towing the guns back and forth than anywhere else. I saw 3 guns get loose and careen down the hill and across the road. Scary as hell.
