Noted. Will bear that in mind next time!

Yeah. Sorry about that. When I got back to England I saw that and realised I made a huge mistake. When I next go to a military museum, I will take more time when filming instead of rushing everything!

Depends if it's someone they know and have arranged to go for it, but typically that's for tournaments. On events like this it can get your group uninvited from going back.

@@Dave-ks9fi It's impossible to fully reenactment a medieval battle, because well no one wants to kill eachother and see blood, the real adrenaline, and desperation of the fight. Guess I gotta time travel and be in IRL

@@Y_ooKang I'm aware of that. Just I also do full contact, where we use a lot more force. As do a few of the others there naturally we aim for the armour and just bruise each other, but then I do HEMA where we wear modern protection and practice the real move. Combine the two and yes we would die and get maimed, which of course nobody would want to do or watch. Your question was what if we used full force in the reenactment which I assumed you meant belting people hard in the armour, the answer to which is we might get collared by the marshal and potentially banned from coming back. Bigger battles people may get away with that and injury/ damage happens. Nobody would truly recreate the battle as it would be horrible 🫣

@@Dave-ks9fi tru

Thank you. Hearing the news it was going made me visit it before it went. Granted it'll be a year before it goes, but it will be sad to see this exhibition hall go. Apparently they're demolishing it and building a new high tech building energy efficient building for different purposes. Hopefully the exhibits won't go back into private collections.

@@bburchellphotos I might drop by tomorrow actually. Going up the M1 and back down the M11. Bletchley Park or Duxford Humm .... toughy....

@@DIVERBLOKE1 Well... Bletchley Park isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but the Land Warfare Hall is... maybe Duxford ;-) Or be really quick and run around both?! haha

they are black powder guns, blank firing. black powder guns are subsonic so substantially quieter than modern weaponry.

I didn't know the Saxons had a necromancer

And not by dweeby nerds lol

🤓🤡

You're about 400 years too late

Ah yes , the famous british cemetary shootings

my thoughts exactly

Probably not much. Activities like this are educationally and culturally valuable and the impact of the small amount of smoke is tiny compared to literally anything else. Apart from maybe some extremist types but they are basically oil industry plants at this point.

Hows it exactly distasteful? They aren't desecrating the graves in anyway.

@@balls9420 It's holy ground and a resting place for peaceful solitude, not appropriate for this sort of display.

@@Dryhten1801 If they can hear us through 6 feet of dirt and a casket when they are dead. We got bigger problems. Also it wasn't until about 120 years ago that graveyards were desolate and peaceful. They used to be used as greenspace hosting fairs and fireworks shows or even for picnics. So this wouldn't be much different. I mean I don't want a grave. But if I had one I would love for it to be involved in some renactment. I don't want to be in a dead creepy graveyard. I would like it to be a nice place that isn't forbidden from the living to ever disturb.

They probably were. When you’re being shot at, I doubt the dead guy matters more than the about-to-be-dead guy, AKA “you”

dead people were literally used sometimes in desperate defensive situations as cover and light infantry or skirmishers actively use dead bodies as cover by proning behind one. No one gives a shit about the dead when their own life is on the line

I mean, knights also had guns in the early modern period but that's only 200 years of a transition era into the industrial revolution

​@@jonh101 you mean the cuirassiers? they're not actually knights, they're more like armored cavalrymen that are recruited.

Last actual (or idk) knight was in *some balkan country.* during WW2, litteraly charged at german panzer's horseback

@@ZeroScotland Nah, I think those were Polish cavalry, cavalry had been common in war since the start of war.

@@ShodaiGojira-xn3xk lemme guess, polish troops rode to battle with their Anti-Tank rifles? *i mean yeah they are a good example*

needless to say targeteers were invaluable until pikes were completely phased out and musket lines were more reliable, so cqc was inevitable at this time, and misfires due to logistical issues would certainly inform such engagements.

@@drlca6601 An unexpected rain 2 hours into a battle would honestly break my morale and send me sprinting away screaming. Regardless of how effective cord may be in weather.

They are. Well, real muskets, matchlocks and cannon that is. They all used real black powder and could fire solid shot if they wanted too

I guess it all depends on the numbers. Tewkesbury has a very large reenactment battle but it's a fair distance to get to. Sadly such events all depend on the number of people who are prepared to be a reenactor and make it to such events. For me personally, one of the things I really enjoy is wandering around the living history camps and chatting to the actors. Not only do you learn a lot, they're always really lovely people and a good laugh.

The actual battle lasted from about 9:00 A.M. until dusk, so really this was super short comparatively.

@@bburchellphotoswhere does this reenactment take place

@@Wake-up90 It's takes place in the town of Battle in East Sussex North West of Hastings in the UK.

Years ago we werew able to put on some really spectacular shows but in recent years English Heritage have limited the number of reenactors allowed on site and the show has suffered. It used to be a highlight of the reenactment calendar each year. In 2006 we had 4000 reenactors from all over the world and included 100 cavalry and the same number of archers. Now budgets and EH rules don't allow for that.

Saw my grand daughter. Her first battle at Battle.

They wouldn't know what to do with themselves. They would just do a nonstop internal monologue, I suppose. As he gets up, and goes to the bathroom. Yes, he's now having a pee. He's now putting toothpaste on the toothbrush, and as he commences to brush his teeth...&c
