@DukoOsshiiKhan

ney thought that the british casualties being removed was a retreat, so he charged the centre with his cav

nice work, make square make square !! ;-)

The British were not the only ones to form squares - The Romans did have similar square formation somewhere in a battle against the tribes.

I think Wellington may have learned about the Romans forming squares so may have had to use it.

@DavBlc7

pretty much every trick in history is copied. Napoleon's techniques are used today which is from Britain from Rome etc. We've all copied each other in one way or another.

[DavBlc7]

@WolfytheWolf5667 It is believed Wellington had read books about Roman techniques and got the idea of the squares from it according to his life story.

@DavBlc7

also, what's weird is that this battlefield never had anything to do with "Waterloo"

[rylege]

@DavBlc7 Square formation was a common defensive tactic that every modern army then was trained to do not just the British

67 squadrons..of cavalry..about 9000 men.....Ney had little infantry during this time of attack ..they were committed to other assualts on the battlefield. Though he had no infantry....cavalry alone was doomed...better if he waited wheeled up some artillary to support....but that was Ney...Brave...but foolish at times.

@Dojocho

ney thought the british were retreating, thts why he charged the cav

[fulf1]

The entire French cavalry was sent in by Ney without infantry support. This was because the British looked like they were fleeing and napoleon was not at the battle at this time so Ney decided to go and finish them off, soon as he rode over the hill he realised the British were forming squares... Ney had no infantry... Fail.

[mrtaliban11111]

Just out of curiosity, how many French units of cavalry were ordered charged and then later retreated?

[hollywoodwerewolf]

@mrtaliban11111 I don't know how many regiments of French cavalry were in the charge but the total numbered around 11,000 men.

[ArseneLupin2009]

@hollywoodwerewolf not more than 6.000

[paratrooper6]
