  • Wtf it was NO rockets in the Battle

  • use fraps next tie

  • @Battleschnodder

    Deswegen hab ich mich ja entschuldigt... Ausserdem kann ich nicht aus meiner Haut...

    Ich fasse das auch nicht als Beleidigung auf...da muss schon einiges mehr kommen bis ich mal in die Luft starte(.:

    Ausserdem finden die Ammis z.B das ganz in Ordnung an uns Deutschen(.: Why not?

    Grüße

    PS: Wiso heißt Du eigentlich Battleschnodder???

    Das find ich z.B. ganz ...naja seltsam

  • we can´t fight...nowadays...we had always lost...and thats better so!

    But in times of Frederic the great...all has dance to Prussias melodie(.:

    I wish the WW1 and WW2 exspecially thise Monster hasn´t exist!

    Sorry for my bad english

    greatings from Germany

  • @JavertGermany ich liebe es, wenn deutsche sowas wie "thats better so" schreiben, made my day^^

    nich beleidigend gemeint, ich finde es nur lustig

  • okay, im an american of english and scotch heritage and my family has been fighting wars for hundreds of years so you cant say that all of us americans cant fight a war.

  • Agreed there are at least some good troops in virtually every nation if only the special forces of those nations

  • Age of empires 3 xD

  • and if is a big word mainly every american has english in them well they speak it, there names are in english you americans should be proud to be allies of the english..

    and i got nothing agaist france or any other nation but the americans dont no fuck alllllllllll about war there dumb as anything!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm American, I agree with you that a lot of Americans are rather dumb. Most of the reasons for that are because Americans don't really care much about education as much as other countries do. That's because in America we do whatever the heck we wanna do and a lot of us are really lazy. But think about it, the American Revolution was the first successful revolution by a colony of the British Empire. What does that tell you?

  • it tells you that america can beat the british when we are fighting the french in europe(Y)

  • haha, true. very true. that Napoleon and his crazy schemes of conquest...

  • Has to be said that england (Britain as the yanks and other countrys call it..

    We rule napoleon was a great general but got beat by the better one wellington what a legend..

    I think people are forgetting how big are country is and why are the yanks talking about stuff there army person for person are nothing its truw its because your countrys so big i mean ww1 an ww2 how the fuck did you help us win we won the wars before you lot came people say if you wasnt an island if you didnt have us its if

  • England is only a country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain. I see myself as British, not English.

    And the 'Yanks' though they may be arrogant and all that did indeed help us in the world wars. It would be pig-headed to think they did nothing, they helped in supplying our embattled country, we wouldn't have won without American made munitions, food and petrol.

    Though they are usually late and all the important stuff is usually over and done with by then ;).

  • course we would of won without american now your tongue out of there bum you mug!!

  • I'm American and I agree with a lot of what you're saying. It's true that you did the majority of the things in the world wars. In fact, America woul;dn't have gotten involved in WWI if it wasn't for the Germans' unrestricted submarine warfare. We wouldn't have gotten involved in WWII either if the Japanese hadn't bombed Pearl Harbor.

  • I recommend everyone read the books of Bevin Alexander if you are interested in strategies of Napoleon and other great generals... or why they didn't work out.

  • If u ask from me, poor vid.. but texts are pretty much alright. Aoe3 if im right? :)

  • Nopoleon fort well, but got defeated !

  • film*

  • use camtasia to filme your pc..nice vid

  • robert.e.lee is not the best general have ya heard of gettysburg?do ya whos fault it is?

  • I'm guessing it's Lees fault that the Confederacy had it's high water mark during Gettysburg?

    Now, you need to shut the fuck up you ignorant bitch.

  • nopoleon went power crazy even at the end of the battle he tolled his men 2 keep fighting and die poor ppl thy were killed by the french artillary covering napoleons escape

  • can't see shit.

  • the french is better than the british in the peninsular war your commander john moore was so stupid he was hit by a cannon ball in his ribs!lol

  • this was a mean battle the french mortars were massacered

  • Running Wild - The Battle of Waterloo

  • ABBA made a good song called Waterloo

  • onle the frensh not :D

  • BELGIUM i lvoe belgium

  • wats the name of the song?

  • que targeta garfica tienes

  • YEAH this is the great game

  • lol france best nation bullshit the french dont win shit... its in there blood

  • lol every historic battle i ever heard of of the frenchies they either suffered allot of casualties and won, or lost and was a total massacre

  • Obviously you've never heard of Austerlitz.

  • i just test one thing...

  • m,m

  • FRANCE is the best NATION!!there currasiers,hussars,and musketeers RULE!i could beat the ottomans,portugese,dutch,and russians any day.

  • but not English and Spanish lol

  • wat u takin bout they took over spain completely  (but not for long!)

  • nope. they cant. they never did, and never will. just in some games they might have, but games are games where there are aliens and dragons

  • yes they did icarcus have you heard of borodino or dos de mayo or anything!

  • why does the guide say the ottomans are the hardest to play? they are the easiest for me, they spawn settlers every 3-5 minutes

  • i can beat your mum

  • actually they defeated the spanish astrians and prussians

  • not fair, all you attack is mortars :(

  • rockets atchley

  • One of my favourite songs to one of my favourite games of all time. Great!

  • now this is how schools should teach history

  • @matthewmalinab ya and not that boring shit in 50 year old books that are out of print as well

  • Great video! lol so many artillery(i mean the rockets)

  • nevermind

  • cool

  • to make rockets as the british you need a factory and instead of getting resources you get rockets but It takes ages for them to spawn.

  • You either send rockets form the home city, or create them at a factory, and FYI lions led by donkeys was WW1, referring to the top brass who seemed to have no regard for the tremendous loss of life on the front lines

  • lol attack of the cows!

  • not sure on the music, but the best general has to be wellington, lee, montgomery or rommel

  • the great General of all time would have to be General Robert E Lee of the US civil war, the South wouldn't of lasted 6 months, much less 4 years against the North without him.

  • how can make rockets? i know is with british but i cant create them when i play!can someone tell me plss!

  • you can make them only at the 4 age with your deck or with a factory only.

  • you can make them only at the 4 age with your deck or with a factory only.

  • what song is that?? i love military marches.

  • Kind cool

  • Terrible bagpiping at the beginning. But the actual song is mental.

  • the french never used the one man that came close to beating wellington in spain ie soult all the other marshals were affraid of wellington including nay nay was a great leader but i would not have let him command more than a corp he was brave but not very bright had wellington had his old peninsular army at waterloo inc the great portugese then it would have been a pure victory for wellington as theat army could have beaten any one

  • The Truth is that Napoleon was one of the Greatest if not the greatest Military genius in all our history, and in Waterloo he lost because of the Prussians arrival in the middle of the fight between the French army and the british.

  • hitler?I mean the whole world was against him

  • Hittler had no military intelligence, it was his generals who were brilliant the ones that conquered europe in WWII. All hitler's orders in for example the russian campaing were a complete disaster and his general though brilliant they were still afraid to contradict him

  • Hitler was a great military leader. his generals where not the brain behinde his world domination . just comon if a guy can make all leaders of the world piss in there panties he must have some military intelligence. p.s. i´m not saying that hitler has a good man just smart ;)

  • Smart ,.... not really you should read some military history textbooks you'll see how inteligent he was.. what he had was a talent to convince eveyrone that his ideas were the best ones. I'm not saying he was stupid but the he had no military intelligence

  • Smart?We don't have the same opinion of this word.He was creazy all the extermination was made by the german administration and conquest by his Generals, he just gave the orders : Conquest Europe and kill Slave and jude.

  • JohnQuesada, you shouldn't have made an age of empires video on such a sensitive topic. :P

  • u will allways get the britain v france rivalry its been going on for over a 1000 years &i doubt it will ever end

  • Yet we are always one step ahead of them, when will those french bastards learn.

  • actually the British would have won even without the Prussians. BUT, the Prussians caused the French to rout, so the victory was final. Otherwise, the British would have had to chase the French back to Paris through the maze of forts they made before they surrendered. The Prussians really came too late to do much except scare the French, just like the Spartans at Marathon

  • well that is not correct, Bülow's IV Corps arrived around 13.00 on the battlefield, throughout the afternoon the prussians gained a strength of appr. 45.000 men and took the village of Plancenoit which was rear the french lines. The Prussians managed to span the whole right flank of the french. Napoleon desperately tried to change the outcome of the battle with a frontal attack against Wellington's centre.

  • ...which failed due to Wellington's defensive tactic AND the fact that Ziethen's I Corps reached the english left flank on time in order to support the crumbling centre. No doubt the british fought very brave but at the end Wellington only managed to hold on hoping for the arrival of Bluecher's army. It's well known by now that it is very likely that the british would have lost the battle without the prussian support. Therefore I suggest you to get the knowledge first before you start talking.

  • The British got whooped. The Prussians still would have also lost, if it wasn't for the rain.

  • dont talk crap the ellite of the guard was destroyed by wellingtons center{the 52nd in fact beat the old guard not the footguards} the french seing the guard defeated lost heart&ran but we could not have won with out the prussians with out them the battle would have been at best a stalemate esp as the light was fading the prussian army did the follow up as wellingtons army was not in a fit state to persue

  • Shut up, nerd.

  • leave him alone you asshole your probably the nerd

  • just kidding ya idiot

  • @kevdemod Wellington was beaten, but then Napoleon saw Prussians coming, and, he commits the old guard.

  • About the song: One of the best Running wild songs ever from their best album ! It brings back memories of my youth .

  • The real battle of Waterloo went a little diferent, but still a nice try to do it in age3 (gotta love that game).

    Btw Dutch and German forces fought alongside the Britisch troops to in this battle, and it was the French that attacked, not the Britisch alliance.

  • like the Hessians fighting with the British.

  • "Your army was made up of largly of French and you far outnumbered British forces" huh? In early 1778, shortly after an American victory at Saratoga, France entered the war against Britain; Spain and the Netherlands joined as allies of France over the next two years.

    "we would have won without you" you know i hear that a lot, but there isn't any way to know either side. whether we were a decisive blow or not. it certainly would have taken more time and more lives.

  • "made us break the rest of our empire up" and dont your guys across the pond criticize us for trying to build an empire?

    Oop forgot one.

    "5000 British troops repel repeated attacks on Canada and burn the white house" and yet we still won. you guys were the ones impressing our sailors and blockading us. and you still had troops over here. you picked a fight and lost.

  • hmmmm lets see...

    1776 - A rag tag group of Farmers defeated the greatest armada ever assembled.

    1812 - They didn't get the message the first time so we kicked ass again.

    1918 - We helped you win WWI.

    1945 - We helped you win WWII and even COMPLETELY REBUILT YOUR FUCKING COUNTRY.

    learn some fucking history (but at least you can spell). oh and thank for giving us heavy metal.

  • U suck!!!

    Those Mortars can't even attack ppl, u cheaters.

    why weren't the brits using musketeers?

    it's their best unit.

    why were the calvary being hunted?

  • be quit someother94 how should he know

  • the french are shit heads and i thumb my nose at them sir

  • thats was crap u gave the french hardly any men

    the english were LUCKY to win that

  • canada owned amarica in the new world

  • You were owned by spelling on Youtube. Also, the French suck. GTFO my internets Frenchie lover.

  • shut the fuck up your amarican bastard have fun in a countrie who has the most crime in the world and canada is the respected countrie but most countries want amaricans dead so burn in hell mother fucker

  • most crime in the world? are you fucking serious? Maybe reported crime, but do you consider ethnic cleansing in Africa and the Middle east crime? Canada is not respected, its laughed at. like France. and its spelled AMERICAN. there's an "E" there dipshit. And if Canada is so respected why do people come here for medical treatments like transplants? You're Stealing our organs you Frostback! lulz

  • omfg why are we argueing both canada and amarican are good countries sorry man for insulting u

  • Bloody Americans. Shove a nuke up your arse!

  • right...

  • I find funny these comments while we're in the 21th century, and the "soundtrack" is from an English-singing German metal band.

  • The text/history was also unhistoric.

  • only the text/history was entertaining

  • Age of Empires III

    Wanna know a fact? French suck. Check Joan of Arc. They get saved by a woman? How wimpy is that? And she friggin' dies in the end!

  • alright lets see u fight with joan of arc you would die you dumbass and french are cool

  • ALright. the filming was poor with the lighting. WHAT game did u use? it looked rubish(the game that is)

  • sucks

  • pretty cool

  • just crap

  • WHAT GAME !?=!??!

  • as a matter of fact Grouchy fought against the Prussian III corp at Warve, the I, II, and IV corp were heading to Waterloo so they had at least 35,000 men at Waterloo. Grouchy didnt even hear about the defeat at Waterloo until the 19th ( the day after the battle ) he then took his troops out, giving Napoleon the chance to fight on. if you want to know where i got my info, then read 1815 The Waterloo Campaign The German Victory by Peter Hofschroer

  • The rockets were in fact so inacurate that the british cavalry at waterloo took some freindly fire

  • They didn't use Rockets at Waterloo!

  • Oh yes they did,Wellington had reluctantly used them in Spain and brought them to Waterloo,its all documented ,despite their inaccuracy they were very effective at close range particularly against cavalry.

  • The French would have won if Napoleon replaced Ney with Davout.

  • Well, it may not have been as easy as that. At Quatre Bras, Ney actually encountered Wellington and fought him for a time, but let Wellington disengage from the battle. Ney's reasoning was that Wellington had a larger force, so he chose not to commit to a hardcore battle with him. A longer fight would have delayed Wellington's progress to Waterloo, leaving Nap a chance to bring up his force.

  • napoleon could have gained victory at waterloo, if he was 20 years younger and had his best commanders availeble

  • and his cavalry that was destroyed in stock and quality in the Russian campaign, they came close in the end to winning

  • i got half way through the comments and gave up due to FreeFrenchForces, juts to rmind you Hastings was an English victory, and yorktown was against a now outnumbered and demoralised force, Dunkirk was good, the abevage brit did the opposite of france, didnt run but wnet and helped out, Far more men got out than thought possible, enabling war to continue and be won, wanst victory, but was miricle.

  • william the conquerer defeated the english at hastings. and he was from normandy,

  • Following that line english are now French, and always have been, guess the good french were just so desperate to leave behind you lot that they actualy won somthing(against a force that ran from the north leaving its archers and men all over the place because the normans were raping the south)

  • and after fighting a hard fought battle too, the only way they could have had more of an advantage is if saxons fought with sticks

  • France didn't exist at this time. Anyway a third of Guillaume army was French (his right wing under Eustache de Boulogne). Do you remember Castillon, Formigny, Beachy Head, Fontenoy and many more ? Waterloo : Allies 150000 (only 25000 brits), French : 75000. We were vastly outnumbered...

  • u mean after he reterned, we were outnumbered befoire that, spain was onyour side, your waterloo figures cant be correct, im guessing your taking into account the prussians and allied rearguard not involved and forgeting groche and the lost army.

  • what are you talking about you wanker? there's no need for excuses, the french own you so many times and so much that you still have mottos in their language asshole. the truth is all your base and dictionary belong to us. 'bout the germans wo what? we got them many times including an humiliation at the Battle of Jena. now look at them they don't have an army and doesn't have nukes. we have. panzers wouldn't save them this time.

  • Owned the british are you fucking joking? Normans were they really french? No the truth is no frenchies have won on british soil. The battle of jenna lets talk about the battle when germans owned your pussy army. French language is latin.... and so is the english language. British have a much better win ratio than the french.

  • frwench suck they lost nelay all the battles in the hundred years of war and neapolon is french and he lost

  • maybe that they did, but jean d`arc was able to defeat the english several times, and that lead to that the english lost the war. and how many victorys gained napoleon? 60-70 victoryes i think, and 3-5 losses, so napoleon is one of the greatest men in history

  • the british owned at the battle of trafalgar, and the french had to ally with spain and STILL got battered, we never lost a single ship at that battle, the french and spanish lost 19, and they had 32 ships and we had 27, so ownage by the british navy. battle of the nile the french get owned again by the british navy and nelson's brilliant tactics. and the british army invaded russia in the crimean war and survived, but when the french invaded russia they get beaten by the weather LMAO!

  • then again us british cant talk much, we lost many ships the day after trafalgar in the weather. (but thats the bay of biscay for you)

  • very true, but we couldnt have had any control over that, any ship from any country would have possibly sunk or been badly damaged, but in the actual battle the british proved they dominated the seas

  • exactly, "rule brittania, brittania rules the waves"

  • simple as we've all won a few, lsot a few. as brit can say french beast us after many many many years, butwe pummled you many times before n after. n you yanks - well you have ur independennce (though we dint really have any proper army there like) but we later burned your white house with our settlers in canada. lets jsut unite n remember... we beat the germans - twice! n enjoy the rivalry sjtu dnt be so serious

  • French is made from latin! made from french ? yeah maybe but you got served by the british about a 100 times jeez

  • "you got served by the british about a 100 times" what are you babbling about ? French is mostly based on Latin but it has Greek words too and German as well from the Frank period, so what? at least our motto is not in english, like the roastbeef.

  • This is getting old fast. Why do we always have to drag up the Nazis? What they did to other people was inhuman, but we need to move on for those wounds to heal.

  • France rules! So does England! Now why can't you come to grips with the fact that you both rule and have kicked each other's asses?

  • hehe! :) England vs France hate is a long story. it never ends as long as there will be History books.

  • France is a crappy country, we all know it, i just dont understand why the french cant come to terms withe fatc that they are all assholes especialy their leaders, king louise(ime sorry if it isnt spelt right) and napoleon are just two examples. they aint to smart either i think the average iq of france is 80 something Britain is 105 and the germans are like 130. the french suck when it comes to tactics and ofcourse breeding a half decent human

  • you are a green piece of shit. learn your french kid "louise"? your language is made of french, even your mottos are french stupid cunt. now about the IQ, thing, LOL, i made the IQ shit test online and i got . Ho. the germans are topping everyone? how funny, seems like the old nazi propaganda is till alive among assholes like you. i kiss you on the butt sweety. :)

  • IQs are a joke! they mean nothing, intelligence cannot be measured of course, but i'm pretty sure i would had better results if the test was done in my own language... own you kid! :)

  • good, but next time use fraps or gamecam or something rather than a real camera. btw...can someone PLEASE teach FreeFrenchForces what ACTUALLY happened in history? i have never seen a more distorted view

  • maybe this is just because you don't know anything about history.

  • we saved frances ass they wanted to be part of uk but was declined fight your own bullies and we were being sieged and bombed like mad

  • we kicked the british asses at yorktown, as we did in the 100 yrs war, as we did at hastings, and the british were wiped too by the germans at the battle of france. after the war churchill wanted france to join the commonwealth but de gaulle refused to join assholes and he did not wanted the perfidious rosbeef in the european union neither. british national history is full of fantasies with defeats and escapes turned into victories for propaganda mean.

  • You're a joker. DeGaulle asked to be a part of the Commonwealth and Britain was asked to LEAD Europe in the 50's, but both replies were a firm NON! If war was a boxing match you'd throw the towel in round 1 without throwing a punch. You're a bunch of uselss cowards. To quote the US Secretary of State: "going to war with france is like taking an accordian into battle; it makes a lot of noise and is totally useless"

  • lol

  • The Germans were austonished how France was so easily overthrown so quickly JerryFules... I watched it on a credible history channel. And you can't reenact this on Age of empires 3, because there is no Prussian Civilization.

  • lol, what is your source kid, is it the fuckin Simpsons or the BBC? it was all Emmanuel de Grouchy's fault and the prussian gays were among an international coalition. what does a 16yrs old wanker knows about french history?! forget about it and go finish your homeworks instead of playing video games.

  • That's 16 year old American kid, and we are real big in our history here. My favorite subjects are ww1 and ww2. In French 3 and World History, learning most of France's history, and language.

  • so might you have heard about Napoleon kicking the Prussian asses during the Bataille de Yéna (battle of yena) did you?! same for the Battle of Yorktown during your own american revolution. without french admiral de Grasse kicking the british and german asses, the usa would be british. it's not so hard to learn french language as most of english words are rendering of french words. "dieu et mon droit"? "honi soit qui mal y pense"? our own motto is not in a foreign language LOL :D

  • yea Napolean almost won, if it wasn't for his decision for his calvary to attack Wellingtons men seperate.

  • That wasn't his decision, that was Ney. Ney charged with the cavalry unbeknown to Napoleon and consequentially lost most of Napoleon's cavalry.

  • I'm not British but didn't the french bitch out in WW1 AND GIVE UP IN WW2.

  • no. the french fought as lions in WWI, never heard about marechal Foch, supreme commander of the allied forces prick? the german were better equiped and outnumbered the french during WWII but the free french fought back and ended among the winners in both wars. and yes the french kicked the british ass in the biggest war ever, 100 Years War! no need to mention the conquest of england by Guillaume Le Conquérant nor the american revo.

  • Wrom. French army was world's largest in 1940 but got smacked in record time. France was Vichy France and after it deported thousands and thousands of jews to their death they got beat. Biggest war of all time? You heard of the 7 years war fought between Britain and France over 4 continents: Britain won and secured global dominance and remained in that position until the USA overtook. France was left to be a continental power after that

  • Thats about right

  • pff, seven to one: the gay way! shame on them!!

  • The arrogant Napoleon made too many enemies; why shouldn't they have clobbered him? He asked for it.

    And Britain has traditionally been the moral heart of every coalition that has opposed any overly aggessive European nation (e.g. Spain, France, Germany- all defeated in their turn). So hooray for the British!

  • "arrogant"? lol. you are fed up with cliché. the british the moral heart? don't make me laugh you don't know what you're talking about. seems you never heard about the ethnic cleansings your friends did in australia, south africa and canada. now your british are licking the ass of the us. the gay way!

  • My Father helped to rescue French Troops at Dunkirk in 1940. Just an ordinary Low sailor. Should have thrown your Granpa back..

  • in your dreams you old fake. your real grandfather probably shitted himself far away from dunkirk while my grandpa was in a free french cruiser during 7 years. and yes the germans kicked the british asses at dunkirk!! lol the british propaganda is still rempant, the glorious retreat of dunkirk!! a grand victory!! LMAO it was an hoax. the british were wipped at the battle of france.

  • Hey im not old im only 54.

    Actually my grandfather was a fisherman, lost in the North sea with his crew on 1st Jan 1920.

    Can we have some more abuse please I find it very entertaining,like those French Knights in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' LOL

  • oh, i'm sure a 54 old years old man doesn't have better things to do than to spend his day watching Age of empires videos on youtube. of course! by the way i don't know these stuff you are talking about, i'm affraid we don't have the same taste. actually i think british tv shows are total shit and i hate mr. bean too. i remember the ole good Benny Hill though. i like the english knights in Thierry La Fronde and its parody Thierry La France. sacré rosbeef!

  • Free French cruiser!? All I know about the french navy was mers el kebir when you wanted to hand your navy over to the germans? cowards. Did you also know many thousands of french soldiers also got rescued at Dunkirk? without that there would have been no free french. the french forces were much bigger than the britsh expeditionary force (only some of our troops) but you got wiped out in the same time. General Weygrand was an idiot

  • the british didnt have all their army at dunkirk, and id like to know were the french army was

  • If you find everything English so distasteful, why is your YT name written in our language? Is there a secret Anglophile lurking under the surface? 'The lady doth protest too much' methinks...

  • how long did france last?10 days max thay had no right to claim any credit for the defeat of the germans in ww2 it was britain{&her empire}usa &russia that won victory france fought the allies in north africa!!!&france is still kissing germanys arse 60 years later

  • There was a French underground militia group that played a role in makeing Germany's occupation difficult, but little actual progess was made until the US and Britain hit the beaches. As I've heard it quoted "lions led by donkeys."

  • In 1940 you lost on the continent too,and if you country wasn't an island you should lost too against the german.You know nothing about France and it's not a British who told what we did in WWII.I respect England and your history but shut up

  • The British versus the French? you forget to mention it was a 7-nations coalition with the Netherlands and others against France alone. if Grouchy didn't fucked up Napoleon would had kicked the ass of all these assles. what about the battle of Austerlitz? :) Running Wild did no celebrated this one... although Napoleon kicked the ass of the Austrian and Russian.

  • you have right, if Grouchy was replaced my somoneelse, things will have been wery diffrent

  • Why does everyone blame Groucy for what happened? Grouchy was Nap's most reasonable and trusted general. Nap's orders to Grouchy was to track down the Prussians and prevent them from uniting with Wellington. And that's all Nap told him. Nap DID NOT tell Grouchy to come to the battle if he heard the guns. If Grouchy disobeyed Nap's orders, then things may have been different. But Nap's orders were clear.

  • well, ok,. napoleon can only blame himself for what happend...

  • You misunderstand. Grouchy was routing the Prussians but a few of them slipped through and made it toward the battlefield. Napoleon lost because of that.Ney was also abit 'Napoleon promoted me cos I was brave, so I'm gonna do it again! You cavalry over there charge!'

  • it wasn't a few Prussians that slipped through to the battle. The numbers were in excess of three corps of Prussians including Gen. Blucher -- that easily well over 15,000 men. If Grouchy was chasing anything, it may have been a few squadrons of hussars and supposedly acting as a screen for a larger force. When the Prussians struck at midday at La Plaincoit (sic) their numbers were enough to force Nap to move if Young and Middle Guard and his reserves to fight on his right.

  • your explaination is quite logical. I may have to do more research.Thx for enlightening me.
