wwii axis reenactment forum

thanks man

Well then, provide me with new pictures please?

Those are some good arguments which I haven't considered, but the deal with re-enactment is that a battle is just a battle, and afterwards you can go back to your tent where you have stored your tunic, regardless of what you are actually re-enacting (offensive or defensive). A lot of events don't re...

Only shirt with gear I'd love to see that picture

There have got to be regulations about it, anyone? Perhaps a page in the Reibert?

I have read a lot of topics on this forum about medals and how they can be earned in different groups, but I have found little about ranks. How can you earn a rank in your group? In my group we work with a point system, if a member has attended 20 events he will automatically be awarded with Obersch...

You and the guy behind you could improve things by fastening the ammo pouches?

We just finished a battle when this picture was taken
