    Hey guys and dolls, name's Cory. I've been reenacting WWII for 7 years (Started when I was 13) and have been a enthralled with WWII for most of my life.

    Hope to meet a lot of cool people here, learn new things about WWII and hopefully teach others a few things about WWII.

    Cheers, mates!

    Welcome Cory, good to have you here. We have several reenactors lurking about.

    Who do you try to replicate?

    Sorry for the late response! I reenact American 9th ID, 39th reg, Easy Co, but my main focus is the 21st Panzer division. 125th Reg. Panzergrenadier. I love love LOVE it.

    You may know the 21st Panzer Division to be famous in it's acts in Normandy.
    9th ID, 39th Reg is the "AAA-O" Anything Anywhere Bar-None!

    For American- I've got the full Early war and late war impression. I'm a Mortar Squad leader (60mm Mortar). I usually have my choice between a Carbine or my Garand, given the 3 stripes on my arm :p

    For German- I've got M40 tunic/pants, Jackboots, all the leather web gear, K98, Panzerfaust. Or if I'm not a Rifleman, I'm on the PAK gun. If I'm not on the PAK gun, I'm the #2 man on our Panzerschreck team.

    Cheers!

    Me Too. I do the battle of New Orleans every year. I would like to find a unit here in La, any ideas on locating one would be appreciated. I also have been into the second world war all my life as well, but I'm 50.
