@Tristan Mateo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
always a pleasure to listen to these. i listen to some channels which are sometimes a bit controversial - Lindybeige who absolutely hates Napolean and which i find not fun to listen to on British subjects as he is so biased about the British ...but yours is just superb
Thanks man! I try not to let my biases come into it, because then you paint yourself into a corner. Fir instance I joke about finding Prussia boring, but researching them, they're absolutely fascinating. I try and make each nation the hero of their own story, but my heart will always belong to l'empereur! (Or is it the Corsican Ogre...😆 )
@@NapoleonicWargaming thanks...i am stuck on own in quarantine at moment with all my figures a long way away so i really find some wargaming content enjoyable esp yours..and aside from 15mm Italian Corps i now don't even have any Naps. Though hearing that i think that that new US 28mm plastics company is going to do Spanish has set me thinking - I am not keen on the WL Spanish set. Also i do think that your site doesn't on whole apart from the odd snotty comment about of `look who wrote BP those GW types` get mired in the kind of controversies that one finds elsewhere. My esp bugbear is Waterloo and the anglocentric view so i was pleased the in your OG feature and the great description of the final assault you mentioned the importance of the DB Horse Arty and DB brigade attacks on the MG Chasseurs as i think they often get lost in the Up Guards and At em narrative - as much as Waterloo is a great film it gives the impression that everyone on the British side was in red and was British (poor old KGL who to me were perhaps the single best unit in the battle dont get mentioned as German speaking troops in British uniform would be too much for audiences then and now for that matter - never mind the larger DB presence) Keep up the good work
@@vanpallandt5799 best of luck with the quarantine dude. I'm in the same boat until next Friday and its absolutely no fun! Yeah, there's a counter narrative that the Brits dud nothing at Waterloo, it was won by the Prussians and the DB... I think that's equally as daft as saying it was just the Brits. I too love me some KGL as well, underrated imo
@@NapoleonicWargaming yes..the whole German victory thing is as silly as the it was only the British that did anything narrative. Aside from anything the German victory thing seems an insult to the DB as they get lumped in i presume as Germans. Its like the how high can you pee contests about who really won WW2..team effort
I also find lindybeiges bias to be insufferable. He makes outrageous claims such as ‘Napoleon was even worse than Stalin’ and says he was nothing but a ‘despot maniac’ etc. I’m English but there’s no need to be so emotional and bias about history. Didn’t lindy also scam people by collecting donations for a book on Hannibal back in 2017 that he still hasn’t written?
@@NapoleonicWargaming I would have hoped that if Napoleon was not defeated in Waterloo and he continued on for another year or more that he would add armored carabiner a cheval units to the Imperial Guard
Gendarmes were the first elements of the French Royal Army to be instituted along with the Francs Archers and the Scots Guard. Definitely Ancien Régime tradition!
Lepic sous le feu de l'artillerie russe dit voyant ses grenadiers baisser la tête : "Haut les têtes! la mitraille n'est pas de la merde!!" Lepic under Russian artillery fire said seeing his grenadiers bow their heads: "Head up! The grapeshot is not shit !!"
I could picture the Grenadiers a Cheval Cavalryman . My Brother in law is 6ft 3 and a Centre Ruck Footballer . I know an owner of a huge 18 Hand black Horse . Put them together with a 90cm Sabre and a few hundred of them at the charge they would of smashed a Infantry Square quite easily ....
I think they were and they weren't. Probably red = British, Blue = French would be the jist of it. Exploring officers (scouts) would probably be expected to do a bit better, as intelligence would be able to say how many squadrons or battalion of regiment x were deployed in theatre
During the battle of Austerlitz the imperial guard of Napoleon went straight up to a frontal bloody fight with the Russian imperial guard, in a moment when the fate of the entire battle was in the hands of who kept the control of that ground, the Pratzen heights, the french imperial guard prevailed and put the Russian one on the run, Marshal Bessieres was the commander of the French imperial guard, at Borodino battle he was so afraid and hesitant that he convinced napoleon not to sent in the imperial guard to secure the bloody fighting job the rest of the corps did on the battlefield of Borodino, Napoleon said he was not going to put his imperial guard in risk thousands miles away from France, Napoleon became chicken in his last battles, during Waterloo battle Napoleon held his imperial guard at the moment of the truth, he hesitated and was nervous, he did not sent in the imperial guard at the right moment and gave the British a break allowing the Prussians to come him and joint the afraid, defeated British, Napoleon was no longer the general who won in Marengo, nor the emperor who won at Austerlitz.
@@NapoleonicWargaming , I suggest you to take a good read of a book called NAPOLEON, written by Emil Ludwig, that's the best narrative ever written about Napoleon Bonaparte.
@@NapoleonicWargaming , Bingo!...Marshal Davout, best of the best Marshals, I always have said that if Davout had been at Waterloo things would have been different, that guy, Davout, did the mightiest things in the whole Napoleonic history, first the forced march of about 70 miles in 48 hours to join the right French flank at Austerlitz and the other his display of cold blood and bravery facing, fighting and defeating the main bulk of the Prussian army at Auerstedt....I love the words of Napoleon when was informed that Davout's corp alone had defeated the main bulk of the prussian army. Napoleon told the messenger; ..." tell your Marshall that he is seeing double" ...man that was funny, but then, when things got clear, Napoleon admitted and recognized what Davout did, rewarding him more than anyone else.
The imperial gard at borodino was a big risk, if lost, Napoleon would have been trap in russia In Waterloo i agree, even if the old gard alone managed to secure the retreat by olding the 2 coalised armies For the Napoleon of 1815, for sur he made mistakes, he lost his luck like he said himself but look at the campaign of France in 1814, he was still the master of war
@@DidierDidier-kc4nm Absolument pas! Tous les historiens anglais comme français s'accordent à dire que les foot-guards ont adopté le bonnet à poils des grenadiers français après la défaite de ceux-ci à Waterloo par leurs homologues britanniques.À noter cependant que les anglais ont bénéficié de l'aide des régiments prussiens pour y parvenir mais passons!! Ce sont les vainqueurs qui écrivent l'histoire et tant pis! Les bonnets à poils dont vous parlez ont été utilisés par des régiments hétéroclites et cela n'avait jamais été officialisé avant 1815. D'autres régiments l'ont usité à partir de 1831.
An in-depth narration of Eylau with the guards encounter would be absolutely bangin
Oh I quite agree
EVERY TIME YOU MAKE ONE ITS LIKE XMAS...THANK YOU...
Thanks so much this video, absolute favorite reg -Napoleons most senior elite cavalry ,and troop considering the Imperial Guard. Love this channel

Thanks bud
If l am not wrong the Gendarmes were a left over from the ancient rugime. I have ancestors from Ireland who were in this regiment.
Gendarmes were the first elements of the French Royal Army to be instituted along with the Francs Archers and the Scots Guard. Definitely Ancien Régime tradition!

Anybody else notice audio issues at 4:30?
Nice one, and very quickly sorted :), wish my uploads were that quick...
best cavalry unit of its time
2 great videos
I could picture the Grenadiers a Cheval Cavalryman . My Brother in law is 6ft 3 and a Centre Ruck Footballer . I know an owner of a huge 18 Hand black Horse . Put them together with a 90cm Sabre and a few hundred of them at the charge they would of smashed a Infantry Square quite easily ....
Right?! Those guys in the squares were made of sterner stuff than me! Keep an eye out this Sunday for another video with a cameo from the GaC
4:30…. Errr what?
Very interesting mate
Were people expected to differentiate the vast number of uniforms ? Not just the French but every army of the time.
I think they were and they weren't. Probably red = British, Blue = French would be the jist of it. Exploring officers (scouts) would probably be expected to do a bit better, as intelligence would be able to say how many squadrons or battalion of regiment x were deployed in theatre
Love your channel :)
Thanks man. Means a lot!
Very cool
When is the old gaurd video comin' out?
These are Old Guard

Yeah, I completely agree. 1815 Napoleon was a very different man from 1805 Napoleon. As was his army
@@NapoleonicWargaming , I suggest you to take a good read of a book called NAPOLEON, written by Emil Ludwig, that's the best narrative ever written about Napoleon Bonaparte.

For the Napoleon of 1815, for sur he made mistakes, he lost his luck like he said himself but look at the campaign of France in 1814, he was still the master of war
