  • @De4dm4u5Rulez omg mehicans

  • Rule Britannia

  • They are using Kentucky long rifles, not muskets.

  • @DukoOsshiiKhan - also at waterloo Welligton was asked by a gunnery officer if he could take shots at Napoleon himslef, Wellington replied, Gernerals are not in the habbit of firing upon each other. Regardless even IF generals would fire at each other, which they rarely did, they would normally position themsleves where they could not be hit...

    You know generals would plan thier strategy BEFORE the battle took place, with exception to timings, few "on the fly" decisions were actually made.

  • @DukoOsshiiKhan - Generals did not order thier artillery to fire at each other, it was seen as not honerable.

    Regardless, chess is a game of deception, so is war.

  • @DukoOsshiiKhan - Because the British general was better.

    All I said is that arguably somebody who regulary plays chess will likely make a better tactition, what is so hard about this to comprehend.

    You said something about adrenaline and life threatening danger, you do know that gnerals don't actualy fight in wars?

  • @woo1693 oh yeah i remember that, but didnt they exist in early 1700s too except with the name Consular Guard right??

  • @360Nomad - Because they plan on advancing, and also so they could fire in 2 ranks, which gives them more face of fire.

  • @DukoOsshiiKhan - Having decent soldiers is one thing, but having a general who is a master tactition is more important.

    Anyone who knows a thing or two about warfare in this era, knows that most battles were lost due to poor leadership, poor strategy, obsalete tactics and incompetent leadership.

    Go and read SunTzu the art of war, or read up on any great general.

  • @De4dm4u5Rulez yh but their in line formation and so were the french so its pretty hard TO miss
