Pennsylvania Reenactments

[Mac Bargett]

Well this is the week of the Battle of the Bulge Reenactment at Fort Indiantown Gap. All week the professionials have a private battle on the base's training grounds, but on Saturday they set up the old WWII barracks to show to the public. There's one for the US infantry, one for the paratroopers, one for the SS, Canadians, English, Scots, Normal German Army. And then some barracks are used to sell things like movies and books and reenactment stuff.

And they put on two small reenactments for the public, those are more staged then the bigger private ones.

I found two videos on youtube,

Great find. I'll need to watch this to help future characters. Nice find, Macster!

P.S.: If I find the 2009 reinactment, I'll post a link here.

[Nicholas Ealing]

Re-enactments must be pretty cool, child.

Also, congratulations, Pennsylvania is my...fouth favourite U.S state (you have to think about these things, you know?) .

[Jonas Merhoff]

Whats your top 3? Illinois on that list I hope .

Good find Mac, as Addie said might use that for info some time.

If I remember correctly, the top 5 be:

• California
  
• Ohio
  
• Illinois
  
• Pennsylvania
  
• Idaho
  

That's right. I have lots of free time. Too much.

Prizes to whoever can guess what my favourite British nation is.

Wales?

There was this incredibly cool reinactment clip, taken from a mock machine gun position as an American halftrack advanced. Dang, now I have to go find it. >.<

Edit: TA-DA!

I am so insanly happy right now. My parents said I could skip play practice to attend the reenactment ;D I'm so happy, I think I will dance!

[Heidi]

In the words of Mr. Burns, "Exxxxxxcellent." Make sure to tell us all about it!

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

Doesn't seem like Rhys cares anything for the southern states of the U.S.A.

Idaho...really?!

[Jonas Merhoff]

I KNOW! Idaho and Ohio? Meh. I've driven through both. Really nothing in Idaho at all... and I don't feel like Ohio is so great. I've been in like maybe 30-40 of the states, planning to get to 50 before I'm not on this wonderful Earth any more. But I'd like to go to Europe some day too . My favorite 3 states would have to be Hawaii, Florida, and Illinois. Hawaii because it is AMAZING and a great place to live/vacation. Florida because I vacationed there like once a year for the first 10 years of my life or so, so I have a lot of memories. And Illinois because I live there.

But we're kind of a bit off topic. Oh well

You're going to be an astronaut, Jonas?

So Rhys, tell us why those are your favorite states?

Someone should make a Favorite state thread since this is all off topic.

[Heidi]

And now, for something completely on topic.

High-quality battle reenactment of a bridge capture. Some, possibly some language. Allies vs. Germans.

[lief]

;D I'm on my way to go see it right now ;D

[Mac Bargett]

Guess who just found the disc with all the pictures he took.

Would anyone want me to post a few?

[Vivienne Rousseau]

Feel free to if you want, Macster. I'm sure they are plenty of people here who would love to see some.
