No, no, indulge it . Anything that wastes time is good. Indulge it. Normally I don't like cheering, but there's always a time to cut cards with the Devil.

never again will something of this magnitude be captured on camera
at least not without horde of brown and black extras
*winks*

Everything depends on one big battle, just like at Marengo. Thank you Soult.

(but at Marengo you were young...)

Imperial Guard was a meme though. Literally never used in actual battle prior to Waterloo since Nappy didn't want to endanger them.
When he finally ran out of troops and had them committed, they routed upon the first volley.

>It is not to be supposed that in this great battle [Austerlitz] the action of the Imperial Guard was confined to a cavalry charge. Napoleon found himself so inferior in numerical force, that he did not husband the Guard, as he afterwards did in Russia. He divided it up among different corps of the army, where they furnished an example during all that bloody day to the other troops, which made them irresistible. Pressing side by side with those bear-skip caps, they knew no repulse. In the previous battles the Guard had taken little part, and murmured grievously at their idleness, but at Austerlitz they were led into the thickest of the fight. Soult had under him ten battalions of the Guard. Oudinot and Davoust had ten battalions of the Grenadiers, and wild work did they make under those chieftains, with the stubborn ranks of the enemy.

This is cool as heck and all that, but I'm a bit disappointed that the even the guys facing away from the cavalry are firing their rifles.

No they didn't. They Middle Guard routed, the Old and the Young guard held and died.

Fucking nigger frog should've ended all war right there.

By God, so you have.

It must've been extremely chaotic both historically and on set. With all the smoke most soldiers probably didn't even see who they were shooting at.

If you hear musket fire you can get jumpy and start firing, imagining the enemy to be where he is not. Even the most disciplined soldier would break under those circumstances.

>The Western, Yugoslavian and Russian stunt men could make their horses fall on command, but the cavalry mounts had no special training. Trip wires were used instead with fatal results. Watching one charge Plummer and the rest of the cast were horrified to see a horse rise from the ground with its neck bent at a ghastly angle. It pleading pitifully for help.
>Its rider heard the plaintive cries of distress, and unable to be restrained he sprinted to its side, ignoring all calls to get out of the shot. The animal was in dire pain, and whinnied piteously to its owner, who in no less internal anguish cast around desperately for a gun to end its ordeal. With none to hand, he took out a knife and with shockingly accurate precision cut the animal’s throat.
>When the cameras stopped rolling an eerie silence fell over the scene, penetrated only by the cries of the heartbroken soldier weeping over the body his dead friend.

Wtf.
I know it was the 70s but is it not fucking illegal to harm animals on purpose for a film?

It was illegal in most of Europe, but this movie was filmed in the Soviet Union and basically everyone but the named characters and a few stuntsmen are played by Soviet infantry and cavalry lent by the army.

I think this was the last major film to use tripwires on horses

It was 1970 in east Europe. There were child porn studios operating legally in scandinavia, nobody was going to stop the USSR maiming some horses.

the kinography was so powerful that it generated its own meta-kino

That's kinda retarded. Every missed should could have killed one of their own.

That's the formation they actually used at waterloo more or less.
Yes, the crossfire could hit the other square, but the main point is the bayonets not the fire. Plus they'll mostly be aiming up at the man on the horse

notice how the inner squares aren't firing much

I suppose acceptable casualties are always a part of the war.

Probably my favourite napoleon along with brando

fuck man
