Excellent stuff Bryan.  Very inspiring.

Question:  Your chaps there with shouldered muskets appear to be holding them at the lock rather than at the base of the stock.  Was this the standard procedure during the war?

Great! 1:1 gaming at its best. Although the Rebs seem to have taken a lot more casualties than the Yanks so far?  :o

Look at the middle of the video, someone got an Gopro cam, it's nice.

Brilliant photography. The battle all seems so unhurried. Only thing missing was the whipping of Minié balls!  =D>
