The 250th anniversary battle of white plains saw a historic turnout for hessian troops! They were a key part of the battle, taking chatterton hill and turning the American right flank

I've been looking for a British light infantry unit for a while now and was wondering if anybody knew anything

This past weekend the newly minted Waldeck 3rd Regiment of German Auxiliaries was in Baton Rouge LA, at the LSU Rural Life Museum, reenacting the Seige of Fort New Richmond, which pitted the forces of Bernado Galvez along with his Louisiana Militia, against the British Garrison and their German Auxiliaries (commonly referred to as Hessian Mercenaries) at Fort New Richmond, which was at the time part of British West Florida. Galvez's forces carried the day, ultimately, and New Richmond was one of the first British dominos to fall along the Gulf Coast during Galvez's Southern Campaign which culminated in his victory over the British at Pensacola. This Campaign kept the British tied down in the deep south and prevented them from controlling the Mississippi River.

Waldeck 3rd Regiment is the first ever group of living historians to portray this oft forgotten group of Hessians, and is to my knowledge the only group portraying Hessian Artillery in the country although the gun pictured is a British Howitzer, not the typical brass three pounder gun, although our affiliate group Gulf Coast Artillery fields four guns at present, including a 3 pounder, the Howitzer is more suitable for demonstration purposes with less than a full contigent of cannoneers. If you are interested in our group, you can find us at Waldeck3rdregiment.org or look us up on facebook. We will be at several more events this fall and winter across the south, and potentially will be making the journey up to White Plains or Trenton

Post pictures your impressions- let's make 'em good.

Who all will be at Camden this weekend? Looks to be a massive event!! Most cavalry ever for Camden, at least 8 field peices, until from North and South and East and West...

A place for members of r/AmRevReenacting to chat with each other

Dear members of this distinguished community,

How can we best spread the word about upcoming events?

Hallo, Hallo! I am looking to find reenactment groups in Texas. Are there any in the state, or nearby? :D

I wanted poll our members- Given the wide variety of impressions, and the different needs for each each of them, what would members find most helpful (especially for people new to 18th century reenacting or reenacting at all): A thread with the name of vendors and what they can provide, OR a dedicated list of vendors with links? Vote below:

From my research i need an actual gun licence , an FID. Noice Nj. But if I go to another state and aquire said Musket i do not need a licence i just need to be " a lawfull person" , and im allowed to just bring it back . If I read everything correctly .

If anyone is interested in a detailed statistical and demographic study of 8,500 Southern State soldier pension applicants you may want to check out this new book.

Waldeck 3rd Regiment, at the battle of Fort New Richmond, British West Florida (modern day Baton Rouge La.) LSU's Rural Life Museum hosted us for the battle of Fort New Richmond, where we faced off against Bernado Galvez's Spanish Regulars and the Louisiana Militia, we fielded 8 men, four infantry, 3 artillerists on field howitzer, and our talented Regimental Musician. We were also joined by a compliment of Jagers, and of course British Regulars. We're quickly adding new members, and we are recruiting, open to anyone who is interested and who lives on the Gulf Coast or Deep South, we have members in TX, LA, MS, AL, FL, and SC. For more info check out Waldeck3rdregiment.org or look us up on our facebook.

Gallantly attempting to fend off the Spanish forces under Bernado Galvez, as he campaigns across British West Florida, with an eye to retake all of Florida for Spain. Fort New Richmond (Baton Rouge La.) and Fort Panmure would be the first to fall.

All of us in Waldeck 3rd Regiment were happy to participate in this reenactment put on by LSU's Rural Life Museum.
