  • Hey can someone message me if you know if CT does any WWII ones? I live in CT and I went to my town (West Havens) reinactment last year which was so fricken small. Well it was New Havens but still. I would love to see a WWII one.

  • Sorry, the 2nd CT Heavy Artillery Regiment only does Civil War reenactment. In fact you will find that most reenactment groups will specialize in a particular era. I think that is primary due to interest but partial attributable to equipment expense.

  • Any videos of the 32nd Georgia Infantry for this battle?

  • @silentserv3r I have been to Griswold. Didn't know about the reinactments there but I have been to basicly every fort in CT. I am a huge war time history buff from any war. Mainly WWII and Revolutionary War.

  • @8randyman i dont know of any WW2 reenactments but in Groton Connecticut they reenact the battle of fort Griswold which is from the revolutionary war. its also small but the fort is interesting to tour around

  • I know that but do you guys know anyone who does WWII ones? I can't find any and I would love to see one.

  • yes, we go every year!

  • I was there with the 2nd CT when we went down

  • Britain and France made a profit by selling to both.

  • You would be suprised. A lot of Union troops used smoothbore muskets in the war. The famous Irish Brigade used 1842 smoothbore muskets for the entire war, only with their flank companies using rifles. Rifles were just as prevelant in the south as they were in the north. It's a major misconception that the south didnt have a lot of rifles, but by the end of the war, I would say 90-95 percent were using rifles.
