I'm in this video! 3:35 and so is my brother. I'm late war French whilst he is Early war.

[@Rydo416]

Derek Lasee Lucky to be in a re-enactment like this. I’m in Scotland, so it’s extremely unlikely for me to find re-enactment groups, especially since our nature reserves and forests are frequently supervised by law enforcement, and it’s kinda illegal to do it without permission from the council of the area.

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

Awesome, also T O N K

[@sethmiller2797]

Pretty neat haven't seen a ww1 reenactment for a while

[@oliverpohlproductions8291]

It was a humid summer day when the battle occurred, most of the French forces were sick or exhausted from the sun yesterday so only a few were fighting along the Schneider. It's amazing seeing this in person.

[@yankeedoodle7365]

One thing I like are those Revolvers, that I see theme use the gun slinger shooting, and then the bag pips over the sounds of fire, and one thing must ask how do you find these reanacmments? And that last part with the guy wearing lobster armor

[@prussianproductions9958]

Awesome! All you need is more trenches, more muddy field with obstacles, and man! Just like newville

[@thewildcolonialboy8034]

My friend: What do you do for a living? Me:...It's complicated.

[@ethanbrown5121]

I was at this reenactment and it was very interesting and very realistic.

[@enclavemarine5254]

1:55 MP40?

[@ChewyTheCookie]

I don’t know much about these re-enactments but I love WW1. How do you know if you’re hit in the re-enactments?

[@thetruekingofnorway]

Chewy TheCookie . Hope you enjoyed the video! It's mostly an honor system. If it looks like you would've been "hit", you go down. Most public reenactments are choreographed to a narrative in some way for the audience, so reenactors have a general idea when it is best to "die" according to the narrative. Private tacticals, on the other hand, are entirely honor system.

[@HorribleHarry]

who built this Schneider? I have been preparing to build one myself... astounding!

[@banjobill8420]

I kinda wanna join a reenactment group so I can play the banjo for morale.

[@yankeedoodle7365]

Ever like on this video = a Poppy

[@silversword4428]

To be more realistic they should have the re anactors dig the same kind of trenches they had in world war1 and live and sleep in them for several days if they really want to relive history

[@ProWalter2]

Is the 75mm gun on the tank real or just a prop?

[@jackchieng1179]

Yes but fires blanks

[@boss_0817]

Ahh Memories

[@TH3PLA1NP1L0T]

0:00 When you're British but the heritage site says that you're 1% American

[@windogendoors7566]

Why is that guy fan firing the revolver?

[@korbin2594]

Wait, how do they tell If they get shot or not

[@Caiddenn]

If you're there you know. A guy points his SMLE at you and empties a clip you're like 99% dead. If you're a dick about it, the guy on the canon in the tank doesn't aim for a spot right next to you he aims AT you. Combat comes at you like a tidal wave, and even though its not real bullets its still scary enough for you to throw in the towel in hopeless situations.

[@FiberBunny]

Do they use airsoft or what?

[@Bunny-zn7ke]

Bruh they're literally firings blank rounds

[@brunodejong1695]

2 meters distance. Ha you missed!

[@abramo7700]

If you get hit, do you stay lying down for the rest of the reenactment??

[@korbin2594]

How do you tell if you get hit

[@Rydo416]

Probably not, at least in professional re-enactments made for photography purposes. Once you ‘die’ and the camera pans off, you get back up and move to a different position.

[@Rydo416]

But for real roleplaying re-enactments, I’m not so sure. Maybe you crawl off to the side slowly, then once you’re out of sight you go back to your allies.

[@EggosAreAmazing]

a medic im pretty sure drags you out of view and then you can fight again

[@Xolev-ec7me]

Yo

[@fidgetylamb8133]

are those actually bullets they're firing?

[@fidgetylamb8133]

@@rougechog sorry for the dumb question

[@babyinuyasha]

Just blanks! Everyone who "died" is perfectly fine.

[@silversword4428]

I thought world wR 1 was trench warfare. They should have reconstructed the same kind of trenches and barbed wire they had in the real war

[@Rydo416]

Silver Sword They would need permission of the landholders (likely privately owned by the government, or public property under government restrictions) and there’s no point re-enacting trench warfare, as it would be extremely dull and boring, which is why you don’t see WW1 games depicting even a small amount of trench warfare, as it’s overly repetitive and it’s sucks the fun out of the whole idea of gameplay.
