Borodino would've been won easily have Napoleon arrived with the full force of his original Army of over 500,000 men but by the time he got to Borodino the Army was down to under 200 K due to desertion and sickness . none the less, He should've headed back to France after Borodino while it was still warm season. He got what he wanted at Borodino and that was to demoralize the Russian army and Tzar !!! There was no reason to March all the way to Moscow and get caught in the brutal winter. Biggest military blunder in history !
@@safedreams6241 yes, fortunately for the allies he halted the drive on Moscow to reinforce the southern offensive, and like Napoleon he invaded late (all other mistakes aside, Hitler was a week late in getting to Moscow). And his foolish decision to occupy rather than bypass Stalingrad was even more disastrous, almost as bad as delaying Manstein's attack at Kursk two months, and giving the Russians time to recover from the reverse Stalingrad at Kharkov. Where Hitler botched his invasion the most however was when local populations welcomed the Germans as liberators against the mass murdering Soviets and he ordered many of then rounded up as slave labor, or in some cases killed. Like Cortez he literally had the chance to recruit from the population of the country he was invading.

The Grand Armee was split into multiple Corps. Not a massive blob of 500k but units spread all over a massive front. His mistake may have been not committing the Imperial Guard
Most people don't realize the enormous losses napoleon had even before he reached Moscow. Not enough horses to haul fodder. Horses die. Not enough horses to haul supplies soldiers die. You can't let horses graze 6 hours a day .
Ah, a Napoleonic battle, this one sure was a nightmare of a bloodbath. It showed just where Napoleon's campaign was headed to in the end. Line based musketry warfare sure lead to horrendous casualties especially as the weapons improved and became more accurate.

Cannonballs do not explode. They are simply solid balls of iron. Against infantry canister or grapeshot was used. These were composed of a bag of musket balls or small pieces of iron propelled by a gunpowder charge.
This was superbly done and in places reminded me of Sergei Bondarchucks as yet unrivalled masterpiece War and Peace and that is high praise. It was impressive even on my phone! Really well done.

Did the French actually attack in line formation at Borodino? They usually used the column to break enemy lines and then formed lines themselves. Or is the model just not available in Total War? But good work!
Combats effroyables ! Les soldats n'étaient que de la chair à canon... Napoléon, lorsqu'il était en position de force, aurait dû utiliser davantage la diplomatie, se rapprocher des Autrichiens et des Russes et leur faire comprendre que leur ennemi commun était la Grande Bretagne... Mais Napoléon était trop sûr de sa force militaire, trop ambitieux et trop orgueilleux pour s'abaisser à négocier et à privilégier le long terme, plutôt que des victoires immédiates, prestigieuses, mais sanglantes et onéreuses. Pour moi, il a su être un stratège militaire, mais pas un stratège politique...
You have provided a considerable insight about the political preamble to the invasion of Russia & this terrible battle. Thank you. I am trying very hard to learn the French language. I think that I mostly understood what you had typed, but I then decided to paste your French words into an online translator to make sure that I understand fully. From Grande Bretagne.
@@johnkay4701 Thank you for your kind comment, my friend. Congratulations if you want to learn french or improve your practice... But i have to warn you that it is a very sophisticated language, in particular in grammar and conjugation, almost as difficult as latin... But very precise and beautiful. In my opinion, the best way to learn it, is the natural way. I mean, to learn first the daily life french (But correct french, not slang), and step by step you learn the correspondent grammar... Then, slowly, you'll approach a more intellectual french... If this may encourage you, you have to know that a lot of words are similar or very close in french and english (thanks to Guillaume le Conquérant and later to the house of Plantagenêt) . Besides, more than two hundred million people speak french in the world... It's not so bad! Salutations de France.
Commentaire pas très futé. Tu penses qu'ils n'ont pas négociés auparavant ? Combien de traités de paix Napoléon a signé et combien de fois ces monarchies l'ont foulé aux pieds ?? La Russie était justement en train de changer de camp (pour le nième fois), pour se rapprocher des anglais et de former une autre coalition !! Qu'est ce que Napoléon aurait pu faire de plus ?? Ces monarchies voulaient restaurer la monarchie en France. Point. Avant Napoléon, ils ont déclarés la guerre à la france. C'est aussi la faute de Napoléon ??

Never, EVER(!) assume ANY Campaign you undertake will be a short one. Design it to be short, but ALWAYS(!) plan for a long grinding Campaign of Attrition and adjust your Logistics (including replacements and reinforcements) accordingly.
Someo0ne in comments always says whatever is the subject of the video is terrible these days, and they were better when they were younger, but this takes the cake.
the transition from falinxs to stand off weapons must be the reason for standing in line in brightly collard uniforms waiting to be shot ! cover and concealment was for hunting game
This was a time were Generals led from the front and the results were 49 French Generals dead or wounded and 22 Russian Generals dead or wounded including Prince Bagration who died about two weeks after the battle. The number of Colonels was higher it was a brutal fight that lasted but in the end the Russians were defeated and if they had continued fighting the next day it would had been a total disaster for the Russians.
Great point. Back then, officers literally led from the front, and they were slaughtered in great numbers. Even Generals were known to take part in, or personally lead, some of the great cavalry charges of the era. The loss of so many officers at Borodino caused the battlefield to be even more chaotic. It was said you couldn't hear musket fire on the battlefield as it was drowned out by cannon fire. 500-600 cannons on each side was one of the reasons for the appalling death toll.
@@martyn8116 So true since whole Infantry Battalions and Cavalry Regiments basically cease to exist after this Battle. But while history tries to get you to believe that "General Winter" destroyed Napoleon's Army there are many different factors that led to the disaster of 1812; first Napoleon had around 34,000 Austrians in his Army who operating with the Saxons were on the Southern front and they went over to the Russian side and later captured quite a few Saxon afterwards. That was around 50,000 troops gone and there was also a Northern front of around 100,000 troops. But the biggest killer was Typhus and not the cold of winter. Typhus ran through his troops during the summer after he invaded.
@chestersleezer8821 I didn't know about the sneaky Austrians. I recall over 200 line regiments of the Grand Armee, many seasoned units, were all but wiped out. I've always wondered how Waterloo, the following year, might have been different with all those crack soldiers on the field, rather than buried in Russia. Speaking of chaos in the battlefield, Wellington in Spain always moaned about his aristocratic calvalry regiments, especially the heavies, for some reason, were a law unto themselves, and only charged when they felt like it! Haha.
@@martyn8116 Well, in 1813 was an even larger and more bloody battle - Leipzig. Waterloo was 1815. Not 1813. Maybe you should read a book or two about history. Thanks a lot.
Great cinematography and editing. It’s a shame that Empire and Napoleons’ sounds are so weedy and pathetic. Shogun 2 does guns way better. Still, very good video. By the way, what blood mod do you use?
The more i learn about the battle the more i feel for jerome having to use his garde like it was worthless to napoleon like it was yet but a normal infantry. I sometimes wonder what he felt having to charge his westphalian garde at the redoubts.
1 Tervitus ja tänu 1 Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel selle elu tõotust mööda, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, - 2 armsale pojale Timoteosele: Armu, halastust ja rahu Jumalalt Isalt ja Kristuselt Jeesuselt, meie Issandalt! 3 Ma olen tänulik Jumalale, keda ma oma esivanemate viisil puhta südametunnistusega teenin, alatasa meenutades sind oma eestpalvetes ööl ja päeval, 4 ning igatsedes sind näha, kui mulle tulevad meelde sinu pisarad, et ma saaksin täis rõõmu, 5 mäletades sinu siirast usku, mis esmalt elas sinu vanaemas Loises ja sinu emas Eunikes ja nüüd - selles olen ma veendunud - elab ka sinus. Julgustus kartmatuks Kristuse tunnistamiseks 6 Sel põhjusel tuletan ma sulle meelde, et sa taas õhutaksid lõkkele Jumala ande, mis on sinus minu käte pealepanemise kaudu. 7 Jumal ei ole meile ju andnud arguse vaimu, vaid väe ja armastuse ja mõistlikkuse vaimu. 8 Ära siis häbene tunnistamast meie Issandat ega mind, tema vangi, vaid kannata koos minuga kurja evangeeliumi pärast Jumala väe abil,
9 kes on meid päästnud ja kutsunud püha kutsega, mitte meie tegude järgi, vaid omaenese kavatsuse ja armu järgi, mis meile on antud Kristuses Jeesuses enne igavesi aegu, 10 nüüd on aga saanud avalikuks meie Päästja Kristuse Jeesuse ilmumise läbi, kes on kõrvaldanud surma ning on evangeeliumi kaudu toonud valge ette elu ja kadumatuse,
11 mille kuulutajaks ja apostliks ning õpetajaks mind on seatud. 12 Sel põhjusel ma ka kannatan. Ent ma ei häbene, sest ma tean, kellesse ma olen uskuma hakanud ja olen veendunud, et tema on vägev hoidma minu hoolde usaldatut oma päevani. 13 Võta terve õpetuse eeskujuks see, mida sa minult oled kuulnud usus ja armastuses, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses! 14 Seda head, mis su hoolde on usaldatud, hoia Püha Vaimu abil, kes meis elab. 15 Sa tead seda, et mulle on pööranud selja kõik, kes on Aasias, nende seas Fügelos ja Hermogenes. 16 Issand andku halastust Onesiforose kodule, sest tema on mind sagedasti kosutanud ega ole häbenenud mu ahelaid, 17 vaid kui ta juhtus Rooma, otsis ta mind hoolega ning leidis üles. 18 Issand andku talle leida halastust Issanda käest oma päeval! Ja kui palju ta on abistanud mind Efesoses, tead sina kõige paremini. 2Kuula Julgustus kartmatuks Kristuse tunnistamiseks 1 Sina siis, mu poeg, saa vägevaks armus, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses! 2 Ja mida sa minult oled kuulnud paljude tunnistajate kuuldes, see anna ustavate inimeste hoolde, kes edaspidi sobivad õpetama ka teisi. 3 Kannata koos minuga kurja nagu Kristuse Jeesuse tubli sõdur! 4 Ükski, kes on sõjateenistuses, ei seo end argielu askeldustega, kui ta tahab jääda meelepäraseks sellele, kes ta on sõduriks kutsunud. 5 Ja kui keegi võistleb, ei saa ta ometi võidupärga, kui ta ei võistle korrakohaselt. 6 Tööd rügav põllumees peab esimesena saama osa viljast. 7 Mõtle sellele, mis ma ütlen! Küll Issand annab sulle arusaamist kõiges. 8 Olgu sul meeles Jeesus Kristus, kes on üles äratatud surnuist, kes põlvneb Taaveti soost! See on evangeelium, 9 mille pärast ma kannatan kurja ja olen koguni ahelates nagu mõni roimar. Kuid Jumala sõna ei ole ahelais. 10 Seetõttu ma talun kõike äravalitute pärast, et ka nemad saaksid pääste Kristuses Jeesuses igavese kirkusega. 11 Ustav on see sõna: Kui me oleme surnud koos temaga, siis ka elame koos temaga, 12 kui me jääme püsima vaevas, siis valitseme koos kuningatena, kui me tema salgame, siis salgab ka tema meid, 13 kui me oleme uskmatud, jääb tema ometi ustavaks, sest ta ei saa ennast salata. Õhutus olla kõlblik töötegija Jumalale 14 Seda tuleta neile meelde, vannutades Jumala ees, et nad ei peaks sõnasõda - sellest pole mingit kasu, see vaid hukutab kuulajad. 15 Püüa hoolega osutuda Jumala ees kõlblikuks töötegijana, kel pole tarvis häbeneda, kes tõe sõna kuulutab õigesti. 16 Labastest tühijuttudest hoidu aga eemale! Nende rääkijad ju lähevad aina kaugemale jumalakartmatuses 17 ja nende sõna levib otsekui vähktõbi. Nende seast on Hümenaios ja Fileetos, 18 kes on kaldunud kõrvale tõest, öeldes, et ülestõusmine on juba toimunud, ning rikuvad ära mõnede usu. 19 Ometi püsib kindlana Jumala seatud aluskivi, millel on see pitser: „Issand tunneb omi” ja „Ülekohtust taganegu igaüks, kes nimetab Issanda nime”. 20 Aga suures majas ei ole üksnes kuld- ja hõbeastjaid, vaid neid on ka puust ja savist - osa auliseks, osa autuks tarbeks. 21 Kui nüüd keegi end puhastab neist vigadest, siis ta saab auliseks astjaks, pühitsetuks ja peremehele kasulikuks, valmiks igale heale teole. 22 Põgene noorusea himude eest! Taotle õiglust, usku, armastust ja rahu nendega, kes Issandat appi hüüavad puhtast südamest! 23 Aga sõgedad ja kasvatamatud arutlemised lükka tagasi, teades, et need tekitavad tülisid. 24 Issanda sulasel ei ole tarvis tülitseda, vaid ta olgu lahke kõikide vastu, osav õpetama, valmis kannatama kurja, 25 kes tasadusega kasvatab vastupanijaid selleks, et ehk Jumal annab neile meeleparandust tõe mõistmiseks, 26 ja et nad kaineneksid ja pääseksid lahti kuradi paelust, mis on püüdnud nad oma tahtmise valda.
The morale of story; Never enter deep into enemy territory with only 3 weeks ration. Never dream of easy and quick victory against Russia. Never conquered Moscow without secured access to nearby territory with supplies, garrison, and leave no room for the enemy to flank. In short, Advance slowly with full stomach, and prepare for battle of attrition. Play safe.
Can you do sekigahara, nagano, that battle between Qin and Chu. Siege of Carthage, Lapanto, Palatea? You and the other docos should colaborate. Maybe get the channels involed? Would love to help especially if you wanna make it battlefield britian/ancient battles style. PLUS Actors incerps (drool)

this looks so realistic until you notice every soldier has the same face. but yeah the numbers of soldiers involved would look like this. too bad we don't have as many napoleonic war reenactors as we do us civil war or ww2.
dang I wish I could attend as a reenactor but here in USA cant find a local Napoleonic group to reenact as the Frenchies. I hear flintlock need some real training to use at these things prior to an event.
Napoleon successfully defeated the Russians in battle multiple times. Alexander refused to offer peace terms. That was the problem. The Russians have had their asses handed to them multiple times. Examples include Britain, France, Poland, Sweden, Germany and the Mongols. Defeating the Russians in war has never been particularly difficult. Conquering Russia has been.
@@DominiqueTimmermansAre you mentally challenged? Borodino was the bloodiest single day of the Napoleonic wars, the battle of Leipzig was the bloodiest battle overall and lasted three days.
@@jessiemeisenheimer8675 I think you have a mental problem. As you say yourself, the battle of Leipzig is the bloodiest battle. The fact that it lasted four days (16-19/10/1813) and not 3, doesn't change a thing to the fact that it was the bloodiest battle. A battle doesn't mean that it is a one-day battle. By the way, Borodino lasted from the 5th to the 7th.
Otto, it's the first time I've heard of such a wonderful discovery. Though it would be better to explain why 35 000 French, healthy in the morning died from Typhus in the duration of one day at Borodino alone. And soon the same had happened with 8 000 of them at Little Yaroslavets.

Napoleon was a great leader because casualties meant nothing to him. His troops merely served his Political and Power aspirations. His bad decisions outweighed his alleged Tactical ability.
The russians never gave up, it was september, and Napoleon entered Moscow after the victory in Barodino. Leaving in october - to lose almost everything in this winter retreat, yet saving his life - to be poisoned in st Helena. Lets compare with Hitler, who on december 1941 had not reached Moscow¹¹ and will never do.

Should have listened to Davoust, the Iron Marshal.
Napoleon's reasoning was that he wanted to fight a decisive battle and didn't want to risk the Russians retreating again.
The Russians would have retreated once more
@@jessiemeisenheimer8675Davout brought up the idea around the same time to Napoleon who was having a terrible migraine or cold, his sickness may have caused Napoleon to be inactive in his decisions to be stubborn and “dumb” at Borodino, per say, rejecting Davout’s strategy
Invading Russia is like stretching an electric band. Stretch it too far and it will snap.
Cannonballs do not explode. They are simply solid balls of iron. Against infantry canister or grapeshot was used. These were composed of a bag of musket balls or small pieces of iron propelled by a gunpowder charge.
Well even during naepoloens time , exploding shells did exist .
And they were used .
Just look them up on the net, they did exist.
Overhead shots wonderful - detailed actions rather odd. Thanks for the attempt !
Thanks for watching!
You do better? Let's see it!
You're a film maker then? My crit was balanced wasn't it? Fair comment?@@markmullin4246
Nice ! Super cool !! More off these please 🎉🎉
Thanks for watching
This was superbly done and in places reminded me of Sergei Bondarchucks as yet unrivalled masterpiece War and Peace and that is high praise. It was impressive even on my phone! Really well done.
Amazing job thank you mate!
Glad you enjoyed
The Grande Armée marched slowly to their deaths
Great cinematography.
Thanks
@@cinematicbattles559 Was it made with vanilla or a mod like FCN?. Looks like FCN based on the flags and mass.
@@ordotectonicus8585 It was made with the Field Command mod as this mod offers the Borodino maps and also larger units
@@cinematicbattles559 yeah. It's a nice mod. I just wish I had a stronger pc to play multiplayer with it. Takes a bit from each good ntw mod and blends it into a solid all-rounder.
@@ordotectonicus8585 yes that's true I do love the mod. However, there were certainly some visual and sound effect issues which were really annoying to deal with when trying to make a video like this, if you were just playing the game normally it would make no difference
I believe for the infantry men it was two shots a minute, or three if you were really good, or four a minute if you were exceptionally good.
I wish you would talk louder as, I can't here over the battle sounds, and you don't leave the subtitles up long enough for people to read, good video though, you need to look into the 2 problems I brought up
It's an AI voice.
Did the French actually attack in line formation at Borodino? They usually used the column to break enemy lines and then formed lines themselves. Or is the model just not available in Total War? But good work!
Hi yes I did think this was an issue, it’s really hard to do in total war but I should have mentioned that really - thanks for watching
Touché Napoleon

Wow that's some high quality graphics there.
Beautiful video
Thank you
Combats effroyables ! Les soldats n'étaient que de la chair à canon... Napoléon, lorsqu'il était en position de force, aurait dû utiliser davantage la diplomatie, se rapprocher des Autrichiens et des Russes et leur faire comprendre que leur ennemi commun était la Grande Bretagne... Mais Napoléon était trop sûr de sa force militaire, trop ambitieux et trop orgueilleux pour s'abaisser à négocier et à privilégier le long terme, plutôt que des victoires immédiates, prestigieuses, mais sanglantes et onéreuses. Pour moi, il a su être un stratège militaire, mais pas un stratège politique...
You have provided a considerable insight about the political preamble to the invasion of Russia & this terrible battle. Thank you.
I am trying very hard to learn the French language. I think that I mostly understood what you had typed, but I then decided to paste your French words into an online translator to make sure that I understand fully. From Grande Bretagne.
@@johnkay4701 Thank you for your kind comment, my friend. Congratulations if you want to learn french or improve your practice... But i have to warn you that it is a very sophisticated language, in particular in grammar and conjugation, almost as difficult as latin... But very precise and beautiful. In my opinion, the best way to learn it, is the natural way. I mean, to learn first the daily life french (But correct french, not slang), and step by step you learn the correspondent grammar... Then, slowly, you'll approach a more intellectual french... If this may encourage you, you have to know that a lot of words are similar or very close in french and english (thanks to Guillaume le Conquérant and later to the house of Plantagenêt) . Besides, more than two hundred million people speak french in the world... It's not so bad! Salutations de France.
Commentaire pas très futé. Tu penses qu'ils n'ont pas négociés auparavant ? Combien de traités de paix Napoléon a signé et combien de fois ces monarchies l'ont foulé aux pieds ?? La Russie était justement en train de changer de camp (pour le nième fois), pour se rapprocher des anglais et de former une autre coalition !! Qu'est ce que Napoléon aurait pu faire de plus ?? Ces monarchies voulaient restaurer la monarchie en France. Point.
Avant Napoléon, ils ont déclarés la guerre à la france. C'est aussi la faute de Napoléon ??

Obviously, Napoleon didn’t play Risk, or he wouldn’t have invaded
10:38- I love that one guy hopping forward. He looks like someone from a Monty Python sketch.
Interesting visualisations, capture the essence of the hand-to-hand fighting. Not convinced they had exploding shells though 🙂
Never, EVER(!) assume ANY Campaign you undertake will be a short one. Design it to be short, but ALWAYS(!) plan for a long grinding Campaign of Attrition and adjust your Logistics (including replacements and reinforcements) accordingly.
Say what you wanna say, Napoleon was The craziest and biggest general of The story.
love your work btw, some of the time period background music but sublty playedwould be nice
Thanks man
Great recounting. Fab graphics too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
that is how war should be fought two armies facing each other ,no tanks ,aircraft just infantry and horse cavalry
Someo0ne in comments always says whatever is the subject of the video is terrible these days, and they were better when they were younger, but this takes the cake.
this reminds me of my friends mod Grand battle
I like this video can you made video battle of verneuil
Well done. NTW is a nice too, give us a good support to explain History events.
Thanks for watching 😊
please correct commander Bagration it doesn't pronounce as "bagraishn" its Royal family of Georgia and pronounce as it written Bagration.
Apologises the narration was generated with AI
the transition from falinxs to stand off weapons must be the reason for standing in line in brightly collard uniforms waiting to be shot ! cover and concealment was for hunting game
Maybe you don't know, but it's been Emperor, not Tsar, since Peter the Great.
This was a time were Generals led from the front and the results were 49 French Generals dead or wounded and 22 Russian Generals dead or wounded including Prince Bagration who died about two weeks after the battle. The number of Colonels was higher it was a brutal fight that lasted but in the end the Russians were defeated and if they had continued fighting the next day it would had been a total disaster for the Russians.
Great point. Back then, officers literally led from the front, and they were slaughtered in great numbers. Even Generals were known to take part in, or personally lead, some of the great cavalry charges of the era.
The loss of so many officers at Borodino caused the battlefield to be even more chaotic. It was said you couldn't hear musket fire on the battlefield as it was drowned out by cannon fire. 500-600 cannons on each side was one of the reasons for the appalling death toll.
@@martyn8116 So true since whole Infantry Battalions and Cavalry Regiments basically cease to exist after this Battle. But while history tries to get you to believe that "General Winter" destroyed Napoleon's Army there are many different factors that led to the disaster of 1812; first Napoleon had around 34,000 Austrians in his Army who operating with the Saxons were on the Southern front and they went over to the Russian side and later captured quite a few Saxon afterwards. That was around 50,000 troops gone and there was also a Northern front of around 100,000 troops. But the biggest killer was Typhus and not the cold of winter. Typhus ran through his troops during the summer after he invaded.
@chestersleezer8821 I didn't know about the sneaky Austrians. I recall over 200 line regiments of the Grand Armee, many seasoned units, were all but wiped out. I've always wondered how Waterloo, the following year, might have been different with all those crack soldiers on the field, rather than buried in Russia.
Speaking of chaos in the battlefield, Wellington in Spain always moaned about his aristocratic calvalry regiments, especially the heavies, for some reason, were a law unto themselves, and only charged when they felt like it! Haha.
@@martyn8116 Well, in 1813 was an even larger and more bloody battle - Leipzig. Waterloo was 1815. Not 1813. Maybe you should read a book or two about history. Thanks a lot.
Awesome video, a question: How to keep the corpses on the battlefield?. Bloodiest day, not bloodiest battle. Leipzig was significantly bloodier.
It’s just a feature on the game, you can enable it in the settings, if you are having more difficulties let me know👍
They both were bloody .
SHOULD have three hr long video, I'm sure Scott is only spend 10 minutes on Borodino.😊
The french lost their best soldiers in russia just like what hitler did in russia
Hey mate can I ask what mods you used here ? Great video
Alot of death for sure /.... enjoyed watching
Thanks man
Great cinematography and editing. It’s a shame that Empire and Napoleons’ sounds are so weedy and pathetic. Shogun 2 does guns way better. Still, very good video.
By the way, what blood mod do you use?
I use the field command mod for napoleon 👍
Thank you@@cinematicbattles559
I wonder if anyone took the time to stop and smell the flowers, they look quite nice.
Respect to Pyotr Bagration. My man gave the grand armee a run for their money.
To think anything is easy in war is to never have engaged
The more i learn about the battle the more i feel for jerome having to use his garde like it was worthless to napoleon like it was yet but a normal infantry. I sometimes wonder what he felt having to charge his westphalian garde at the redoubts.

Only one moral of a battle, either kill or ready to die.

Tervitus ja tänu
1 Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel selle elu
tõotust mööda, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses, -
2 armsale pojale Timoteosele: Armu, halastust ja rahu Jumalalt
Isalt ja Kristuselt Jeesuselt, meie Issandalt!
3 Ma olen tänulik Jumalale, keda ma oma esivanemate viisil puhta
südametunnistusega teenin, alatasa meenutades sind oma eestpalvetes
ööl ja päeval,
4 ning igatsedes sind näha, kui mulle tulevad meelde sinu pisarad, et ma
saaksin täis rõõmu,
5 mäletades sinu siirast usku, mis esmalt elas sinu vanaemas Loises
ja sinu emas Eunikes ja nüüd - selles olen ma veendunud - elab ka
sinus.
Julgustus kartmatuks Kristuse tunnistamiseks
6 Sel põhjusel tuletan ma sulle meelde, et sa taas õhutaksid lõkkele Jumala
ande, mis on sinus minu käte pealepanemise kaudu.
7 Jumal ei ole meile ju andnud arguse vaimu, vaid väe ja armastuse
ja mõistlikkuse vaimu.
8 Ära siis häbene tunnistamast meie Issandat ega mind, tema vangi,
vaid kannata koos minuga kurja evangeeliumi pärast Jumala väe abil,
9 kes on meid päästnud
ja kutsunud püha kutsega,
mitte meie tegude järgi,
vaid omaenese kavatsuse ja armu järgi,
mis meile on antud Kristuses Jeesuses
enne igavesi aegu,
10 nüüd on aga saanud avalikuks
meie Päästja Kristuse Jeesuse ilmumise läbi,
kes on kõrvaldanud surma
ning on evangeeliumi kaudu
toonud valge ette elu ja kadumatuse,
11 mille kuulutajaks ja apostliks ning õpetajaks mind on seatud.
12 Sel põhjusel ma ka kannatan. Ent ma ei häbene, sest ma
tean, kellesse ma olen uskuma hakanud ja olen veendunud, et tema on
vägev hoidma minu hoolde usaldatut oma päevani.
13 Võta terve õpetuse eeskujuks see, mida sa minult oled kuulnud
usus ja armastuses, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses!
14 Seda head, mis su hoolde on usaldatud, hoia Püha Vaimu abil,
kes meis elab.
15 Sa tead seda, et mulle on pööranud selja kõik, kes on Aasias,
nende seas Fügelos ja Hermogenes.
16 Issand andku halastust Onesiforose kodule, sest tema on mind
sagedasti kosutanud ega ole häbenenud mu ahelaid,
17 vaid kui ta juhtus Rooma, otsis ta mind hoolega ning leidis
üles.
18 Issand andku talle leida halastust Issanda käest oma päeval!
Ja kui palju ta on abistanud mind Efesoses, tead sina kõige paremini.
2Kuula
Julgustus kartmatuks Kristuse tunnistamiseks
1 Sina siis, mu poeg, saa vägevaks armus, mis on Kristuses Jeesuses!
2 Ja mida sa minult oled kuulnud paljude tunnistajate kuuldes, see
anna ustavate inimeste hoolde, kes edaspidi sobivad õpetama ka teisi.
3 Kannata koos minuga kurja nagu Kristuse Jeesuse tubli sõdur!
4 Ükski, kes on sõjateenistuses, ei seo end argielu askeldustega,
kui ta tahab jääda meelepäraseks sellele, kes ta on sõduriks kutsunud.
5 Ja kui keegi võistleb, ei saa ta ometi võidupärga, kui ta ei
võistle korrakohaselt.
6 Tööd rügav põllumees peab esimesena saama osa viljast.
7 Mõtle sellele, mis ma ütlen! Küll Issand annab sulle arusaamist kõiges.
8 Olgu sul meeles Jeesus Kristus, kes on üles äratatud surnuist,
kes põlvneb Taaveti soost! See on evangeelium,
9 mille pärast ma kannatan kurja ja olen koguni ahelates nagu mõni
roimar. Kuid Jumala sõna ei ole ahelais.
10 Seetõttu ma talun kõike äravalitute pärast, et ka nemad saaksid
pääste Kristuses Jeesuses igavese kirkusega.
11 Ustav on see sõna:
Kui me oleme surnud koos temaga,
siis ka elame koos temaga,
12 kui me jääme püsima vaevas,
siis valitseme koos kuningatena,
kui me tema salgame,
siis salgab ka tema meid,
13 kui me oleme uskmatud,
jääb tema ometi ustavaks,
sest ta ei saa ennast salata.
Õhutus olla kõlblik töötegija Jumalale
14 Seda tuleta neile meelde, vannutades Jumala ees, et nad ei peaks
sõnasõda - sellest pole mingit kasu, see vaid hukutab kuulajad.
15 Püüa hoolega osutuda Jumala ees kõlblikuks töötegijana, kel
pole tarvis häbeneda, kes tõe sõna kuulutab õigesti.
16 Labastest tühijuttudest hoidu aga eemale! Nende rääkijad ju
lähevad aina kaugemale jumalakartmatuses
17 ja nende sõna levib otsekui vähktõbi. Nende seast on
Hümenaios ja Fileetos,
18 kes on kaldunud kõrvale tõest, öeldes, et ülestõusmine on juba
toimunud, ning rikuvad ära mõnede usu.
19 Ometi püsib kindlana Jumala seatud aluskivi, millel on see pitser:
„Issand tunneb omi” ja „Ülekohtust taganegu igaüks, kes nimetab Issanda
nime”.
20 Aga suures majas ei ole üksnes kuld- ja hõbeastjaid, vaid neid
on ka puust ja savist - osa auliseks, osa autuks tarbeks.
21 Kui nüüd keegi end puhastab neist vigadest, siis ta saab
auliseks astjaks, pühitsetuks ja peremehele kasulikuks, valmiks
igale heale teole.
22 Põgene noorusea himude eest! Taotle õiglust, usku,
armastust ja rahu nendega, kes Issandat appi hüüavad puhtast südamest!
23 Aga sõgedad ja kasvatamatud arutlemised lükka tagasi, teades, et
need tekitavad tülisid.
24 Issanda sulasel ei ole tarvis tülitseda, vaid ta olgu lahke
kõikide vastu, osav õpetama, valmis kannatama kurja,
25 kes tasadusega kasvatab vastupanijaid selleks, et ehk Jumal
annab neile meeleparandust tõe mõistmiseks,
26 ja et nad kaineneksid ja pääseksid lahti kuradi paelust, mis on
püüdnud nad oma tahtmise valda.

The grande army fired more than 60.000 rd. Of cannon ball.according to french soldiers claim that the russian casualties was appalling and horrendous.
All Borodino casualties have been summarised long ago. The French casualties do not differ significally.
1:56 Man, Napoleon wasn't just the best "commander" of his age, he was arguably the greatest GENERAL in history!
so cool
roundshot does not explode on contact but bounces
Fascinating, thank you.
The morale of story;
Never enter deep into enemy territory with only 3 weeks ration.
Never dream of easy and quick victory against Russia.
Never conquered Moscow without secured access to nearby territory with supplies, garrison, and leave no room for the enemy to flank. In short, Advance slowly with full stomach, and prepare for battle of attrition. Play safe.
Marshall Davout asked Napoleon to outflank Russian army but he refused instead opted for a frontal assault that was his mistake
Can you do sekigahara, nagano, that battle between Qin and Chu. Siege of Carthage, Lapanto, Palatea? You and the other docos should colaborate. Maybe get the channels involed? Would love to help especially if you wanna make it battlefield britian/ancient battles style. PLUS Actors incerps (drool)
Yes I will certainly look into these. Siege of Carthage is one I started editing but never finished for some reason, I will definitely revisit it. I haven't really thought about collaborating but it's something I'd be open to. But yes I always could do with help on my videos they take so long😆
This video has a flaw in that when the troops are shouting and guns bombing, it drowns out the narrator.

this looks so realistic until you notice every soldier has the same face. but yeah the numbers of soldiers involved would look like this. too bad we don't have as many napoleonic war reenactors as we do us civil war or ww2.
Look at Waterloo 2015, there was 5 000 on the field.

Napoleon successfully defeated the Russians in battle multiple times. Alexander refused to offer peace terms. That was the problem.
The Russians have had their asses handed to them multiple times. Examples include Britain, France, Poland, Sweden, Germany and the Mongols. Defeating the Russians in war has never been particularly difficult. Conquering Russia has been.
When will we finally see a "TW Napoleon 2" ?
PS. Awesome video.

Borodino wasn't the bloodiest battle, Leipzig was a far larger battle, with 450.000 soldiers participating, more than double the number of Borodino.

@@cinematicbattles559 Leipzig was Napoleon's bloodiest day...
But the quality of Napoleon's soldiers at Leipzig and Borodino was incomparable.
@@DominiqueTimmermansAre you mentally challenged? Borodino was the bloodiest single day of the Napoleonic wars, the battle of Leipzig was the bloodiest battle overall and lasted three days.
@@jessiemeisenheimer8675 I think you have a mental problem. As you say yourself, the battle of Leipzig is the bloodiest battle. The fact that it lasted four days (16-19/10/1813) and not 3, doesn't change a thing to the fact that it was the bloodiest battle. A battle doesn't mean that it is a one-day battle. By the way, Borodino lasted from the 5th to the 7th.
Bloodiest day, not bloodiest battle. Leipzig was significantly bloodier
true but that was three days of non stop bloodshed.
No Borodino was actually worse. That was just French vs Russian bloodshed nonstop.
I'm glad Sega fixed the game for the Intel 12th gen processors.
During his disastrous Moscow adventure, 92% of Napoleon's men died from Typhus, contracted from Rat Fleas in Poland, not from contact with enemy fire.
Otto, it's the first time I've heard of such a wonderful discovery. Though it would be better to explain why 35 000 French, healthy in the morning died from Typhus in the duration of one day at Borodino alone. And soon the same had happened with 8 000 of them at Little Yaroslavets.
@@vadimpm1290perhaps he is an pest extreminator and trying to highlight the disastrous effect of rats on naepoloens army so he gets more business.
Capitalistic methods of advertisement are very ingenious you know .
Napoleon was a great leader because casualties meant nothing to him. His troops merely served his Political and Power aspirations. His bad decisions outweighed his alleged Tactical ability.
The russians never gave up, it was september, and Napoleon entered Moscow after the victory in Barodino. Leaving in october - to lose almost everything in this winter retreat, yet saving his life - to be poisoned in st Helena. Lets compare with Hitler, who on december 1941 had not reached Moscow¹¹ and will never do.
The only problem there is napoleon didn’t do any fighting his cannon fodder did .
how did he cross 450,000 across 3 pontoon bridges, but when it cam time for battle Napoleon only had 1/4 of that many? What happened to the rest?
They died from starvation or disease or picked off by small Russian resistance forces
@@cinematicbattles559 300,000 troops...
Indeed, Napoleon's army biggest loses was before Borodino, due to malnutrition, diseases ( typhoid fever ) and desertion. Combat loses are pretty low. Google for Charles Minard statistics 1812
@@jacktrade1592 They split off, there's no single column of 450.000 soldiers, that's the grand total, Napoleon commanded the main army group but there were others guarding the flanks and the supply lines.
How do u keep a army that size fed and watered
This was indeed a major issue for Napoleon as he didn't bring enough supplies and many of his men died from starvation
I Wonder If This Was Featured In The Movie War & Peace?
