Battle of Talavera from "Sharpe's Eagle"

good battle

yo vi la recreacion de esta batalla en 2009 en talavera de la reina

what would've been a nice touch is to have Sharpe use the Eagle to fend off soldiers trying to recover it like in the book, and to have him look up at it with its bloody and crooked wing

does anyone else notice that the Chosen Men have swords but they never use them when they close with the french


intresting fact about Sharpe is that only 3 Chosen Men are ever shown to be killed

the "swords" you are refering to are actually bayonetts for the rilfemen they were longer than the regular 18inch and looked more like swords than bayonetts but they still went on the end of the gun. and the books are much better than the tv series and the chosen men start dying off near to the end of the series.

u know they can be called swords since they are 'sword bayonets' -.- and its called a rifle for a reason not a gun. muskets are guns cos there smoothboore. rifles are rifled obviously. so why act like u know shit when u just own urself to sumone who does know something.

So I wasn't a 100% perfect in my reply, it doesn't mean I don't know anything about that era I'm sure you've made a mistake once or twice about something...

i kno least u like to spread the knowledge so carry on. hav u read all the books there better dan the movies xP

yes read them all, very good reads but the tv series is just brilliantly bad

brilliantly bad? lmao well dats one way of putting it :P xD
