When I used to do a medical scenario with a full out field hospital, I always liked doing a “Working” hospital.
I had an actual door from an 1800’s house, which is shorter than modern doors; I had a...

How about the useage of "Passed or Pass away", again trying to nice up the results of Death and Dying or being Killed, makes me sick, I myself won't use those PC phrases to discuss my dead relitives...

"In Hookers rear" is as bad as the game they play called "Corn hole", which is really a bean bag toss. Just saying, names can conger up all kinds of bad images!

Well, it kinda sounds like I should just stay away from this deal, no need to post a photo for what has been told to me so far, if I want a veterans reunion flag than this is it, but a flag that has...

How can I include it in a "Post"???
I do have a photo of the flag.
The documents are a noterized imbossed certificate of Authinticty along with a recipt from an antique shop again stating that...

I have been offered a confederate infantry Guidon flag, supposedly used as a guide for marking the left or right of the column when marching. There is documentation that comes with the flag proving...

I think we need to go back to the “Death Angel”, routine, where in some of the cartridge boxes a round is replaced by the sergeant, a black round for death and a red round for wounded, then when the...

I and my fellow reenactors in my group will be going to BGA , to h*ll with Greedysburg!

I guess this is where to put this:
Did anyone wander through the spectators after Cedar Creek this past weekend? If you did, did you have a chance to talk to them at all? I did, and got asked lots...

I got all 4, I belive that is all there is. The other one you need for a complete collection ofbullet books is of course the McKee & Mason Civil War Projectiles with supplement. I have all of these...

Another price reduction, $600.00 takes it and includes the shipping to you in the lower 48 states.

In looking at the chart it is quite obvious that the increase of powder does in fact increase the sound so therefore it has to be burning up, not as you’re implying that it is just, "Blowing money on...

This chart also points out the need for hearing protection for all of us that don’t already have a sever hearing loss. I for one lost most of my hearing at the local gun clubs, shooting in the...

Ever wonder how the reenacting community and event organizers arrived at the “Maximum” for our blank round powder charges? I have and started a look into it, here is what I found and it really...

I do remember when we did get paid, sorta, we got meals, powder, cash stipends, gas cards, coupons for free meals at local restaurants, they wanted us and needed us to be there to attract a crowd,...

I started getting interested in reenacting when I was in High School doing a family history assignment, and discovered that my father’s family actually became divided because of the war. (And they’re...

OK, so it is just a bad habit, that does nothing but look silly.

Thanks, Gerald Drake

These are all good discussion points on using real projectiles, but why do reenactors do it? I mean I don’t actually believe our officers would suggest that we do this because he read it in one of...

At a recent event I attended, 150th. Sharpsburg, I noticed several guy loading their musket the usual way and then banging the butt down hard a couple of times on the ground, as if to compact the...

Bravo!!!! Well said. You are right and I too have seen envelopes handed to a few Colonels at events on Sunday.

Gerald Drake

Wouldn’t it be better to show GAC that we are all tired of the Farbfest and being taken advantage of, by not showing up at their event? I mean what if they gave a war and nobody came? Why oh why we...

Price reduced to $700.00 with same shipping terms.

Peter,

You are absolutely right that we need more historically accurate events, but they get loads of complaints by being a “Men’s only”, type of thing, because after all, historically very few...

I think the reason the battles kind of sucked was that it is too many ego’s involved. I mean you got so many officers on both sides wanting to show up each other and they don‘t follow the historical...

I will fix it ASAP !!!!
