Good lord... people are already reenacting the Yugoslav Wars? A little too soon don't ya think? XD

[Landree]

Not at all! Plenty of 90s nostalgia to go around. Besides, the veterans think its cool that we do it. The jacket I was wearing was worn by a veteran and it had a rip in the sleeve from a grenade. He wasn't hurt by it, but he did sew it up. I think he sold it to my bud because it wasn't as nice as his other jackets.

Wow. That's actually really surprising. It's interesting that reenacting wars from hundreds of years ago seems normal but for some reason reenacting wars that were just 15ish years ago seems really weird. I know if people started large scale reenactments of say, the Iraq War, all kinds of hell would be raised! :p

[Pvt.Scott]

lol why is there a demon in the background of the last ww1 picture lol.

[-Mitchell-]

Great photos Landrik!

[R21]

That last WW2 one is kind of cool, if those guys behind the Pillar had been more visible it'd be a really good Pic.

It is a strange one and I kind of feel this way about Gaming, like the ARMA series of Games being modded to portray recent and then very recent stuff (like stuff happening in Syria) seems a bit distasteful to me.

[Landree]

I'm all for the portrayal of history - even the history that seems taboo or would be swept under the rug otherwise.

That said, I don't really like much of anything modern other than eastern European stuff. It's removed enough from everything regular to be interesting. I think the closest Western thing I'd do would be Vietnam War. Get a little taste of that with the Balkan Wars because those guys loved "Rambo" and movies about the Vietnam War that came out in the 80s. It was the stuff they grew up on.

I don't care for the modern stuff in ARMA. I prefer WWII in ARMA.

do you like re enacting as the 'bad guys' or something?

[arpbarker]

I didn't know Non-Americans had an interest in our more modern military history. :p

There are a lot of Vietnam Re-enactment groups in Europe. I suppose from our point of view its a war we were not involved with on the ground. But hey, it has the best music, the most comfortable clothing and most interesting culture of any. It is old enough to not be considered Walting, but is modern enough to not entail people running around in itchy clothes!

[Devmc99]

Vietnam reenacting is awesome. There was a guy in my civil war reenacting group who was a veteran of the war. He unfortunately died last year of lung cancer. So in memory of him, we created a Vietnam reenacting group that was the same unit as his in the actual war. I plan to join around May.

[Landree]

do you like re enacting as the 'bad guys' or something?

That'd be implying any of them were bad guys.

Serbians...... I bet Bosnians aren't too happy about that and atleast we are kinda "isolated" from the rest of ex-Yugoslavia so we don't get all the stuff xD

There were Bosnians and Croatians being reenacted as well. To be honest it's all in good genocidal fun. There was so much bloodshed and switching sides and friendly fire incidents during the actual war, it wasn't hard to replicate in a tactical.

[Landree]

So I run one of the UK's Biggest Vietnam war Living History Groups.

Helicopters less so, there have been a few UK events with Hueys and Chinooks but we rarely go in them, however MUTTs and REO Trucks we do.

Why would you wear that jacket? If it was used in an actual battle, you should hang it up on your wall and display it.

One minor boo boo. First Platoon should be abbreviated 1PLT or 1st PLT. It's never abbreviated "PTN."

I was lucky enough to be too young for 'Nam, but only by a year (plus college). A couple guys I was in high school Army Jr. ROTC with, who graduated a couple years ahead of me, ended up over there, as did my best friend's older brother.

Yeah the Modern British Equivalent would be Pl.

We found some documents for the mobalisaiton of the 505th from the period, in which they abbreviate them as PTN. We thought we'd follow suite ;-) Thanks for spotting, if its angering people we might change it.

This is my gear as of yet, just got the Brogans today, super happy. Can't wait for the Season to start.

[Landree]

I managed to pick up a pair of C&D Jarnagin boots for $40 (an absolute steal) some time ago in Lexington, VA and they're some of the best boots I've ever owned. Invest in footwear and the rest is easy. Your feet will thank you!

[Jsmalley050]

[Landree]

I hate Hollywood stuff like that. All for taking Hollywood style hits, but the dramatic last stand stuff or a tuck and roll followed by emptying a magazine from the hip does no credit to the guys who actually fought. Pet peeve rant over.

Good impression!

Didn't knew that people that reenacted could take different roles.

Reenacting looks really interesting. I've seen some News about reenacted battles at Europe,most notoriously,one about a war involving Poland during the middle ages and a recreation of the ending of the siege of Leningrad that took place last year in Russia.

Not sure how many reenactment groups there are where I Live,but I've saw once at a military exposition people dressed as Brazilian Expeditionary Force soldiers.

I liked the reenactment of the soviets storming the winter palace. It was in the '20s I think so they tried to big it up and had hundreds of guys charging in

[Sgt.Kar98]

No,I meant this one. Have mistaken the date :-P

Looking Good.

Do you reenact as the SS who were elite infantry or the death's head brigade that exterminated the jews? I'm not serious but would assume the latter

Nah, Nord was mostly German troops who served with the Finns when they were fighting the Russians, along with a few Finnish volunteers. We did 11th Regiment "Reinhard Heydrich", even though Heydrich never actually did anything of note involving the 6th.

Ahh, the old nazi SS debate......

Nice pictures. Just a pity all the chaps are firing blind ;)

[BloodBeag]

Why are their eyes closed?

[Legion]

My impressions for the Royalist Chetnik movement and Marshal Tito's partisans, both using the Italian M37 Giubba tunic.

It's ok to talk about the "bad guys" of war as long as it is purely about reenactment. Let's not post any more propaganda films, especially when they have nothing to do with the thread. :p
