For two weeks every summer, a campground in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania is transformed into a medieval village where people dress and act as if they were living back in the middle ages. There are tournaments, musical performances and, perhaps most importantly, battles in nearby fields just for the honor and glory of it all. Our correspondent, Zorislav Baydyuk, reports on the Pennsic War -- a blend of the words Pennsylvania and Punic. Here is his report, as narrated by Julia Taboh.

This group is not a "reenactment" group, nor do they portray themselves as such. It is a "recreation" group. Recreation!! and not everyone spends $1000.00s a suit. or at least all at once. It's a lot of research too. Not just fighting. Sewing, cooking, all types of art and sciences also.

There is a distinction to be made, regarding your critiques of what you see in this video. This group is not a "reenactment" group, nor do they portray themselves as such. It is a "recreation" group. Furthermore, the SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. It covers roughly 1000 years of history (hence "anachronism"), from MANY different cultures, all playing together in their own unique way (hence "creative"). It's not for everyone, but everyone is welcome!

All you need is to sew some metal plates onto a leather tunic and you're good to go.

You say about a historian crying but they did not have Team deathmatches or Capture the flag all it was, was a dogpile melee that's it.
