Re-enactment in the Press- this time good! Hastings 2006

I would say that is true for medieval reenactment but American Civil War is so large that some reenactments are close to being bigger than the real battle. I understand a large Gettysburg has 20000 reenactors hock:

Hastings was awesome, I was on the left flank with the Bretons, like Nathan said seeing all those archers loose all at once was awesome:



That is just one of 3 groups of archers pictured.
