A fellow wargamer and reenactor posted a link on another site to his well written & illustrated report form the 2006 reenactment event at Hastings. http://www.angelfire.com/mb2/battle_hastings_...s2006.html
Well worth a look for those interested in the 1066 period and the event.

Thanks for the link, it's worth going through all the pages. I never new so many people showed up for these things as spectators; estimate of 25,000?! I only practice longsword techniques with some friends for now, but that really makes me want to try reenactments.
