Watched several minutes of it and will need to come back and watch more later... Very nice!

With all that tank buzzing around at high speed, I'd be worried to be lying down on my stomach - wouldn't want to become a 'crunchy' as tankers refer to them as...

Use of armor at reenactment public events is always covered very closely in the prebattle safety briefing, carefully choreographed and told to run in a certain zone and a ground safety guy is always on the tank watching and in radio comm with the driver , believe me, the guys on the ground watch them very carefully, and listen to the briefing carefully.They....have a vested interest

Not bad! when you going to get live ammo?? hehe

Look what happened to historical medieval renenactment...

We now have HMB - full combat in armour (Edged weapons must be 3mm flat edged)
Victory is by getting the opponent to the floor.

1 v 1 looks like this.

21 v 21 looks like this.

if you go down you are out.. you can gang up in them in the 5v5 or 21v 21 etc

The Russians are regarded as the best currently. Lots of guys back home to choose from
England entered for the first time in 2013, just about cobbling together enough guys to make a team.

If you want Medieval reenactment, you should join the Society for Creative Anachronism. The fights are better than that baloney of knocking guys down. The have larger group fights, like the Pennsic War, happens just North of Pittsburg, PA in August each year. The Mid-realm vs the Western Kingdom, usually about 2,500 a side.
