Civil War Reenacting: The Civil War in Four Minutes 

Oscar Spence, that is awesome to hear. I’m in NC and used to reenact in the 21st NC.

hi what is that if I may ask?

+Night Stalker935 the danger of reenacting would start at camp which would be like getting burn by the fire or getting hurt by equipment of tools. danger on the battlefield would be the cannons or the muskets but if you are with a good unit you should be fine.

Legoarmyman1 Thanks.

Night Stalker935 U don't have worry about danger at all. The unit u are with will properly school in the manual arms and march in formation in company and Battlion drill. What side u choose ? Federal or Confederate? U can google for reeactment units in your state. This will be the best thing u ever do in your life,and when join a unit. Some of these guys will be freinds with u for the rest of your life. U learn so much and it is super rewarding. I have been a reeactor for 13 years, i have been with my unit for 9 years. Originally with a another unit for 3 years.

If you are talking about games like War of Rights or Verdun or other highly researched history based games I'd say its hard to compare them with reenacting. Games like these are a simpler way for people to experience the overall feel of the time period without spending massive sums of money, they also can simulate the stress and anxiety that reenacting never can. In Verdun, if you pop your head out of your trench you will likely be shot, in War of rights when you see the enemy line raise their guns, all you can do is wait and pray you aren't a target. With all that being said these games really can't compete with reenacting when it comes to immersion. They are still games, and many members of their communities treat them as such. In reenacting you'll see people far more dedicated to their roll and so will lead and react on the field as such. There is also no way for a game to really simulate the feel of actually moving in formation onto the field a firing off the first volley. To sum up, I'd say history based games are great due to their accessibility and ability to simulate stakes, but it can never be as rewarding as a good reenactment event.
