The Armchair General team arrived at the War and Peace show in Kent, England with several aims. Firstly, we wanted to spread the gospel according to the ‘General’ and we wanted to manufacture a small ‘film set’ to industry standards, which we could use to raise interest from visitors and re-enactors alike, and also demonstrate the quality of the environment that we shoot our reconstruction photos in.

With this aim in mind we rolled up on the Saturday before the event commenced to set up our stand, as many other traders and re-enactors do. Once installed in our well-known pitch between the beer tent (handy!) and the modelling tent (all those photo- etched parts to drool over!), and within easy reach of the toilet and shower block (ideal for several reasons!) we pitched the tent and started to lay out the materials to make an Italian courtyard for our 43-44 Italian campaign shoot.

Briefing time at the 514th.
