War Simulations

Although Civil War reenactments may be the most popular battle reenactments in the United States, that doesn't mean that their aren't more primitive reenactments to do. Modern reenactments aren't always as interesting as the more primitive ones. I wrote this article to give you some strategies to use when having your own medieval reenactment. I will also let you know where I get my battle ready medieval fighting sword to do battle with.

The first thing you should do is to decide on what sort of battles you want to reenact. It is best to choose one or two particular types of fighting forces so that you don't have to buy completely different medieval fighting swords and costumes for each force.

You'll find that choosing a fighting force that participated in many battles is the best way to go. For instance, the Roman Empire was around for many years and fought in many battles. If you chose to make all of your battles using this empire, then you wouldn't have to keep buying their costumes because you would already have them.

Next, you need to work on getting your reenactment team together. You'll want folks that are fit and healthy enough to spar with each other without getting injured. You wouldn't want your foot soldier to have heart attack while swinging his sword would you?

After this you will want to buy gear for your soldiers. It is important that all of your soldiers dress the same or they will not look uniform. You don't want to have soldiers dressed up in different time periods. This will only confuse your audience and make you look like an amatuer.

A great place to get these items is www.armorvenue.com. They have a wide selection of medieval weapons, medieval armors, and medieval helmets you can choose from. Many of their swords are also built for reenactments, so you won't have to worry about your friends hurting each other while performing.

After this, you will want to get your fake soldiers to practice with each other. Try to make your reenactment fights look as real as the actual battle. The best way to do this is to have people spar with each other until they can reenact in perfect harmony. Have the same people spar with each other each time. They'll get really in tune with each others fighting styles and will make a more believable reenactment together.
