I know this is a while back but i thought it was great way to portray history and just wanted to say thanks for posting looks like 99% had a great time and i enjoyed the comments bar the one who was trying to piss everyone off but then we all know what to do with trolls all best much love to all.
Very good enjoyed the video , Get the drums and pipes to play " over the hills and far away " next time , more so if the rifles are near by , you never know Richard Sharpe may be near . For a real hero ( nutter really lol ) look up John Shipp
If you mean why are the volleys so ragged, because of such a large body of troops stretching out so far, when the command to fire is given at one end, not everyone at the opposite end of the line hears it, so many follow the person beside them when firing.
As a guy who was in the army (clearly not this one) very big part of boot camp is not about the physical training but group discipline and trust me it takes a lot of orgnized marches and punishments if needed to synchronize the entire batallion to act togather as one this is clearly a show because it takes a lot of rehersals to syncronize an entire battlion correctly but nonetheless the effort they put into this show is amazing the costumes and the equipment and its looks quite good to me
There's a lot of officers there that are ahem.... Not really doing anything of use. Oh I love reenacting but boy do I hate the turn up to an event and think all mighty people.
@@charlesbaker7663 In my group the people in charge get really annoyed when people with high ranking uniforms command them to do something when no one knows who they are, most commonly they don't even belong to a group just a fancy reenactment group that pisses me the fuck off.
In 20+ years of reenacting I've noticed that most groups are remarkably, um... 'over supervised'... In the US, we call it a 'zebra platoon' because everybody seems to have NCO stripes :) My company of US Civil War reenactors has a company commander, an XO, a First Sergeant [me, God help them], and about 10 enlisted men on average. I always make sure to bring a full set of gear to dress out as a private in case we combine with another company.
Why are there just random Women standing around in costume??? Yes there were Women who followed the Army but they stayed far in the rear or in camp during a Battle or engagements...🤷🏻♂️ just weird that they’re literally standing amongst the men in formation awaiting their turn to fight..
Most of the women were actually health care workers ready to lend assistance if anyone was injured during the event. The injury count was high during the event. One person died, many more suffered leg injuries due to uneven ground, one French officer suffered serious injuries when falling off his horse at a gallop. Several horses were required to be euthanized due to leg injuries. People do get hurt.
@@charlesbaker7663 yes women were nurses... In the rear!!! Not on the front lines.. The wounded and dead were carried or ( walking wounded ) had to get to or be carried to aid stations, there are plenty of accounts of people laying dying on a field and moaning all night because they were unable to reach them or get them to the aid center.. The only front line medical personnel were Medics and Corpsmen over 100 years ago.. there weren’t random civilian women standing next to the Infantry in a line formation during a Active battle.. JS
@@wolffegordon1746 how do people get hurt in a reenactment??? And So bad that they need Immediate on the spot life saving treatment..?? 😂 And I thought period correct and as real as possible and trying to adhere to that.. ??? JS They’re literally acting...😂😂
@@hajikilla91 What part of 'It's a reenactment' is not quite getting through to your head? Not everything can be period correct and comprimises have to be made. I do both medieval and english civil war reenctment in the uk and we have both male and female medics in period clothing on the sides incase of any issues. I have had a broken nose,friends have had broken wrists,one walked back into a hidden rabbit hole and broke their ankle when retreating. We even had somebody have a heart attack in the middle of an event in summer when the temperature was 30 degrees plus and the medics tended to him until an ambulance arrived. But by your logic the first aiders should be far back in the rear for the sake of authenticity and anyone suffering a random heart attack should just suffer or possibly die on the spot?
Mleko the film is over 2 hours long encompassing both battles that took place on the Friday and Saturday evenings. Most of what happened was hurry up and wait.
