Battle of Leipzig reenactment 2018 - Action cam

[@madmuddis2801]

This is wholesome. Just the fact that people come together to do such activities.

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Partysover In the United States we do it too, we do America Civil War reenactments. It fun to be around people who are interested in the hobby and history as you. You enjoy hang out with your comrades they become like family, you grow close bound with each person.

[@madmuddis2801]

y e s. I really enjoy the so called napoleonic era. The part of it that I am most intrested in has to be the minor countries. Such as Bavaria, Sweden, Portugal etc. I play a lot of NTW3 too. (Napoleon Total War 3)

[@jamesrichardson3322]

@@madmuddis2801 Napoleonic reenactment War would be fun to do in Europe 🇪🇺, I would love to do it. It takes lots cash 💸 to do a second hobby. I heard that game is awesome!!

[@madmuddis2801]

Yes, it is indeed very fun. I tried mods one time but it screwed up. Im still gonna try again sometime later. I dont go to reenactments where I live. Most of them are probably gonna be skipped because of covid, but I do hope to attend some of them in the future.

[@madmuddis2801]

I managed to download Darthmod for NTW now. Campaign is very enjoyable! 👍

[@nikiibeats]

It's nice to see so many people from different countries coming to Leipzig every year, just having a good time and just following the same hobby

Your the man Mr. President!!

[@JoJo-qk2pn]

I love the way that kids are involved in this as well. As being a minor myself, I would love to reenact but thought I’d be too young and immature to reenact with grown adults until I saw the little kid with the drum, that really warmed my heart.

[@chrisadlc1]

Awesome video, horrendous to think tho that in reality so many men didn’t just back off and laugh a bit but blew off chunks, cut limbs, and spilled the guts of their fellow man..

[@echoplots8058]

They must have been pretty hard-nosed about it though. They had to just stand there and reload their rifles and keep the procedure up while people were dropping left and right. No time to grief, take cover or be scared that you might be next. You have to be numb and indifferent to make it through that.

[@kakashi101able]

It was the 4th largest Battle of the 19th century. Around 600,000 people fought.

[@ericthompson3402]

As a lover of history and particularly Napoleonic era warfare I can't tell you how much fun participating in something like this would be for me. I would definitely have to be in the Old Guard now! When I was a kid my father took me to an American Civil War reenactment with over 700 actors and CANNONS! It was truly awesome!

[@kakashi101able]

Fun fact. This battle was the 4th largest Battle of the 19th century. Around 600,000 people fought.

[@Red_Star_robin]

Sadly something like 600,000 reenactors would never be possible just to get a sense of scale sadly maybe one day with very advanced tech we could simulate more people then there actually are like with augmented reality tech

[@aljon5947]

Ye accessibility is the obstacle, costume and stuff dont come cheap and not everyone can go here. VR will open up so much possibilities.(and perhaps we can actually do real combat there since its just a game and its ok to die).

[@Red_Star_robin]

@@aljon5947 once vr becomes like a 2nd life with realistic graphics and super smooth movements we may have to worry about vr ptsd lol Son how'd you get ptsd? I played a vr ww2 d-day event....

Goethe assisted Napoleonic wars, and wrote in "Kampagne in Frankreich" following: "The war is greatest unculture that exists.... Endless hunger and cold... If I get out of here alive, I swear I won't complain about anything anymore."

[@firstconsul7286]

How are the melees decided? I noticed that every time the austrians charged, they backed right off, but I couldn't tell who won the melees.

[@pieceofschmidtgames6389]

in reenactments that follow historical lines, like this one, it is most likely based on who won the actual engagement. However, other reenactments that are not based on an actual battle may be decided before the "fighting" begins. All charges and melees will end like this or so for safety's sake.

[@stephenn1056]

Doing civil war reenacting, there are a few times where the confederates have been inclined to seemingly never take many casualties. There have been occasions where our captain has lost patience and ordered us to fix bayonets and charge, at least here they don't allow the usage of bayonets, so when bayonets have been ordered it generally causes them to fall back. But that's an entirely different situation than the european events

[@dcstutorial]

everyone talking about this is one of the largest battles of the19th century but no one is talking about how the camera man went back in time to record this just for us

Hi David, I'd like to be part of these events. Can you please tell me how to join these events? thanks in advance

[@chasseurbrise-lame6778]

Luis Carlos Lopez Pedraza hello Sir, In order to join these events you must be part of a reenactment unit. You need to find one (it’s easier in your country) From there you’ll purchase your uniform (be ready to spend more than one thousand - I’ve already spent 2500 and it’s not complete yet) Then your unit will sign up to some events and you’ll eventually get to do this. I hope this helps

[@vatanenwarbirds]

Hi Luis Carlos : where do you live ?

[@lucalope]

David De Breucker hello; I live in Bogotá Colombia, but I’ll be studying on europe since february 2019. Unfortunately these kind of activities are not popular here, actually don’t exist at all. I’ve been studying several aspects of the napoleonic wars and I have little knowledge that may be deepen while being part of these groups.

[@lucalope]

Chasseur Brise-lame hello; in my country the sense of history is not quite developed, people don’t like to know their past

[@vatanenwarbirds]

@@lucalope Hello : for joining our group, you can send an email at : [e-mail]. Based in Belgium but we have membres all over Europe. And you can count certainly for less than 1000 Euro to make a uniform because we do have internal volontiers & specialists to help you for doing that.

8:58 this scene kinda gives me very cool and positive vibes

[@Voexulle]

Man, I wish I could see them doing this irl... I really wanna have the experience of watching this reenactment

[@instantregret502]

Thats cool af. How do you guys keep track on who "dies"?

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

I think your commanding officer tells you that you will die, but you can die at any time. But they will encourage you to die at a realistic and reasonable time. Like during an enemy Volley, Melee, or retreat. I think? Anyway, A KZbinr named "Brandon .F" made a video on that topic.

[@genericsmithson2870]

Brandon basically explained that most people will go down when they’re out of ammo or as you mentioned at a realistic time

[@redthered3242]

guy on 8:58 was hella cool hahahah

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

Can people actually just fake bayonet eachother instead of crossing their muskets.

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

Living in the moment.

[@redthered3242]

Abraham Lincoln Dangerous. Those bayonets could kill you fam lol. Better just point them upwards. These things are often watched from afar anyways so it should look just as cool

[@arche8229]

Abraham Lincoln I mean maybe.. I guess.. just on dangerous. Maybe one where the bayonet get smaller when you press it on someones chest or something? idk if u get my idea

[@redthered3242]

@@arche8229 Those types of bayonets most commonly used for fencing are custom made and cant be fired. It's either you bayonet or you shoot. No midway. Idk about you but I prefer the shoosts.

I really wonder, if Fredrick the Great versus Napoleon, who will win.

[@Leo-rt2vo]

napoleon

[@sulthonalaufa3882]

Even tho napoleon himself said "if frederick were here i wont be standing here" he said that after he won the battle of jena on frederick the great's burial place but napoleon would still win againts frederick

[@Vetrarbreytin]

@@sulthonalaufa3882 I'm not sure you correctly render the quote. The meaning of it was that if Frederick the Great were still alive, there would have never been any war between France and Prussia because of his enlightened vision of France.
