I can't read the url's at the end :S

Are there any good sources on the belgian/united netherlands/nassau armies from this time period? I'd like to know more about it and their uniforms.

@paramedic501 The French DID take La Haye Sainte. In fact, for a short while the occupied the centre of the ridge and managed to prolonge several artillery pieces up the ridge and deploy them near the crossroads where they blew away the entire side of a Hannoverian square with canister, forcing it to form a triangle. The situation was only stabalised by the counter-attack of three battalions from the Duke of Nassau's Regiment led by the Prince of Orange personally.

I often use your video's to demonstrate 'salden's waddle' to people on the historical forums I frequent. As far as I know you are the only re-enectment group that practices this technique and posts video's of the result.

WOA! Vet Casper! Door deze comment, ben je achter de Grenadiers Hollandais gekomen! Dit is jouw Austerlitz! (ik heb de grenadiers ontmoet bij Austerlitz, als ik nooit was geweest naar Austerlitz dan zat ik er waarschijnlijk nu ook niet bij)

Con't.: The French would have taken La Haye Sainte, driven the British from the field and Ney with his heavy cavelery and lancer reserves would have routed Wellington and destroyed him, leaving the Olde Guard to mop up, i.e.: bayonet any survivors of the battle. But fate has a away of protecting this weak and innocent, and Napoleon lost.

Con't: Ney believed the British were retreating, from the ridge line, not thinking or realizing that the majority of the British force was laying down behind the ridge (a battle tactic for defence agaist artillary fire), as Naploleaon was a/n artillary officer, and knew how to use it. Had Groucey done his job as orderd and Ney thought for a moment and ordered infantry support to the center and artillary fire to the ridge and beyond.
