Ah yes, I remember history class where we talked about Commander Rimmy and his Cadian XXth leading the charge to Vicksburg as a part Sherman's army. Good times. God Bless the Union! A successful operation. As to be expected by the Cadians when doing historical reenactments full of amazing memonts of badassary from everyone in the video. That final charge most of all. And that ending screenshot and cannonshot was the perfect way to end both the operation and video. And When Johnny Comes Marching Home, and the other songs, playing just made this so immersive and amazing!

The bugles are awesome, I love their echoes; can you imagine trying to defend a fort and hearing bugles all around you? If you don't know what they mean, it's just music, but if you do? You know things are about get heavy.

Yeah, I love them for the same reason I love radios. The bugle call and answer was one of my favourite moments.

[@GhostCryProductions]

Rimmy: “Half of these guys are grandpas.” Me, a reenactor: “You don’t know the half of it.”

[@michaelthayer5351]

While it is nice to practice with these Napoleonic Lines by the later years of the Civil War the Open Order Revolution was in full swing, especially with the Trench Warfare in the Siege of Petersburg where the Union Army developed something akin to proto-Stormtrooper tactics. Soldiers on both sides often used cover when firing and two massed lines of infantry shooting into each on an open field became very rare as Civil War weapons were deadly accurate, just look at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. At Fredericksburg the Army of Northern Virginia didn't stand in line formation in a field, they were behind a stone wall and used cover effectively. The Yankees did something similar at Gettysburg and one only needs look at the fighting on Culps Hill where Federal Troops used breastworks and Confederates kept a looser formation going through the woods so as the effectively use cover.

[@ThatIrishLass]

I am so glad somebody pointed this out because otherwise I was gonna have to xD

[@historyman9436]

I participated in this op, and i can tell you, the Guns were incredibly inaccurate (atleast in my opinion). While i agree it probably wasnt the most realistic, there was probably a reason why Rimmy decided to do Lines instead

[@darrenb209-]

While all of this is true of the late civil war, at the start the US was still using standard muskets and standard tactics. Muskets having actual proper accuracy required rifling and minie balls. While the most common weapons used during the US civil war had both, that was the most common taking into account the whole of the war. The tactics *and* weaponry displayed in this battle mark it out as either the first year of the war or a later battle using gear from the first year. The cannon is clearly using old style balls, while also being clearly quite old and the guns have the accuracy of an unrifled musket using a standard ball and so on. They're not the *right* guns, with a few exceptions but they're all clearly stand ins for early war weaponry.
