Glad to see you continuing with more Napoleonic content. Epic History TV has some new material since you finished their previous stuff, such as the HMS Victory videos, Napoleon in Italy and now in Egypt.
10:09 distinct color pattern helped espirit de corps, and helped commanders identify units through spyglass, its true clothes will get dirty, but other clothes would get dirty too, so its not much of a change.
This was a great yet chaotic livestream with all the technical issues and whatnot lol Nevertheless, I had a good time chatting with you and the other Patrons whilst watching this. Also, thanks for the shout-out at the start. I'm glad you found my request interesting Edit: (answering your question about uniforms in reenactments) How the uniforms feel kind of depend on how much webbing (additional gear) you're wearing and how warm it is outside. Too much webbing can make the whole uniform feel heavy and cumbersome, but a standard amount is something you get used to after a while. Also, any weather above 25°c is uncomfortably hot in those uniforms (which is unfortunate for me who reenacts in tropical Gibraltar)
Hello SoGal, nice to see you again! I find you more fulfilled. In France, this battle is called Battle of the Moscowa (borodino is the russian name). According to French historical sources, the number of French deaths would be 6,562 out of the 30,000 of the Grande Armée, compared to 44,000 on the Russian side. In this sense, it was not the Napoleonic battle which cost the most French lives, but it was that of Bérézina (20,000, November 26-29, 1812), now in Belarus.
Hello SoGal and l'empereur Roger. I enjoyed you going back to this. I did a talk on Napoleon in Russia at school, aged 12. I loved all the uniforms and enjoyed painting wargames figures. The Russian uniforms were my favourite. I sold all my 25mm soldiers to buy ancient figures to play for my university wargames team, but later bought a few 15mm Russians, from a US company that made excellent figures, just to paint them for old times sake.
Please consider reacting to EPIC HISTORY: Battle Of Eylau, Napoleon's Egypt Campaign [Battle Of The Pyramids] and Nampoleon's Egypt Campaign [Siege Of Acre].
Borodino was the bloodiest single-day battle in the Napoleonic Wars. However, the four-day battle of Leipzig the following year (1813) was absolute carnage. More men were killed and wounded at Leipzig than in any European battle before the First World War. The battle involved 560,000 soldiers, 2,200 artillery pieces, and the expenditure of 400,000 rounds of artillery ammunition making it the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars. It's often referred to as Battle of the Nations because soldiers from France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Poland, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands and Britain took part in it. The total number of casualties was 134,000. You reacted to Epic History TV's videos on Borodino and Leipzig three years ago. For the latter, you wore a beautiful pink sweater. The enthusiasm and energy you showed was spellbinding and a great thing to behold.
There is a video of old French soldiers wearing their uniforms from when they were young men on the Napoleonic battlefield. "Photographs of the last Napoleonic wars veterans" on YT (B & W).
That was just fascinating to watch! In the late 70`s to early eighties! I lived in St.Katherines dock and found out that the docks were where the French prisoners where help during the battles between France and the Great Britain! I never had the chance to see down in the docks back then! It would have been very sobering to see what it must have been line to get a sort of feel of life back then!!
Hello, I don't know if you take recommendations from non-patreons, but could I suggest two videos on Byzantine history? Byzantine history refers to the surviving eastern, Greek speaking half of the Roman empire that continues for 1000 years after the fall of Rome. It's been traditionally overlooked in western history, but recently has gained much interest and attention. The two introductory videos on the Byzantine empire I'd recommend would be: - 'History of the Byzantine Empire' by East Roman History. Gives a simplified rundown of the empires history. - 'Should we use the B-word? (Byzantium)' by Romaboo Ramblings. It's imo one of the most interesting history videos on YT with how it delves into the political and ethnic identity of the Byzantines.
@@SoGal_YT Actually, if I may, I'd instead recommend 'The Byzantine empire explained in 13 Minutes' by Captivating History instead of the one by East Roman History. I think that one does a better job of introducing the topic to newcomers before going into a deep dive with the Romaboo Ramblings video. So instead the updated recommendations are: - 'The Byzantine empire explained in 13 minutes' by Captivating History - 'Should we use the B-word (Byzantium)?' by Romaboo Ramblings
Sarah, I just watched a news report showing how French soldiers are going to be included in the changing of the guard ceremony on 120th anniversary of France and UK being allies. I know such things interest you. Another thing recently in the news is the way Russia and France appear to be having a proxy war in Africa's Sahel countries. There is a TH-cam video documentary that I saw about that specifically, but many more about how France kept economic control in its former African colonies, which led to this .
If I'm not mistaken, it happened only in the 70s of the 19th century again, when people got able to kill each other in such numbers in one place in one day.
SoGal, i have watched your videos for a few years now. Well, a couple at least, entertaining and a great learning, but i should mention, i am an older single man who over the last year or so gained anxiety from malicious neighbours, i remember you discussed anxiety previously so searched for that video and took your advice, I do believe you have saved me further suffering, thankyou so very much from Australia..
Borodino is a hamlet located at the intersection of New York State Route 41. At the end of the day it's kill or be killed in most conflicts, campaigns or war.
Soldier regiments needed to be seen from afar to be directed properly. Only the invention of telecomunication with telegraph and later telephone and radio during WW1 allowed armies to be more discreet on the battlefield. In fact early on in WW1, the French were still fighting in their Second Empire uniform while the Germans were using dark green coats that cuts their visibility in half. A French soldier was visible at 1200 meters while a German one was only spoted at 600 meters! That was absolutely devastating, many French soldiers were killed due to this early in the war before the army opted for a more neutrally colored uniform...
We can learn together about the Napoleonic Wars, SoGal - I have managed to avoid that rich corner of European history in my life so far! I could be wrong, but I believe income tax was first levied in Britain in order to help pay for Britain's part in the fight. We're still paying it...!
Love your video's. I love listening to you in your video's & you are absolutely beautiful. No way of tempting you across the pond to Yorkshire could I ;0) Keep up with the video's beautiful.
going slightly off , digressing, it is believed the Germans used well over 6 million horses for their Military during WW2. Great to see you been a while. OK for me. CHEERS from Scotland
I think it’s time not only on this channel but on all channels that viewers get to see more of the video being played and less of the person introducing it, most channels show two thirds of the screen taken up by the person introducing the video and the other third of the video itself. Let’s have more emphasis on the video and less on the person introducing it.
I'm glad the guy telling the dtory calls himself an "armchair historian" because his understanding of history is quite shallow. He mentioned marches and skirmishes as the mmain reason why number of troops went downward but he forgots many of soldiers were supply units or garrisons which had to be left in numerous of towns so the actual strength of an army at a battlefield always was much less than the number of people sent (which most likely was in the report). The other thing is that the army marching is not an abstract point in space but a very long column of people, horses and wagons. And if we talk about an army of a hundred thousand people the length of the column can be easily a hundred kilometres. Which is about three days from rearguard to vanguard... Imagine having an army of 500 thousand troops? Even if they walked 5 different roads, consider the speed they all could come to a single point?
Napoleonic tactics remained in effect until WW1, ignoring the increase in lethality of the weapons developed since. The American civil war should have given a hint as to where things were going, to all the European observers, but the European aristocracy was slow to learn the lessons, as they considered this war to be a quarrel among hillbillies. When WW1 started the attempts to outflank the opponent, led to an overextension of the battle lines and the need for frontal assaults, causing huge casualties that resulted in the stalemate of trench warfare. Towards the end of WW1, the appearance of tanks broke the trench warfare stalemate and along with the many fresh US troops joining the fight led to the war's end. The next major change in tactics came from Germany during WW2, involving fast moving combined arms operations. The new tactics were first tested in the Spanish civil war and then during the early years of WW2, allowed the German forces to sweep through Europe. Contrary to popular belief, the German panzers were inferior to the Allies tanks but it was the Blitzkrieg tactics that made the difference. The British and especially the French, with far superior forces and equipment, still had the WW1 tactics where the Infantry is the king of the battle and all other weapons were meant to support the Infantry. The WW2 combined arms tactics remain in effect to this day and only the vast use of unmanned systems in the war in Ukraine, combined with real time Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems is forcing the development of new battle tactics. IMAO the war in Ukraine plays the same role the Spanish civil war played just prior to WW2. The slight problem is that during WW2 there were not around over 12000 nuclear weapons capable of destroying the planet several times over, nor their radioactive fallout and the nuclear winter that would follow their use and last for decades. In any case: th-cam.com/video/jPU1AYTxwg4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/H3zN4-n8ZWg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xZbKHDPPrrc/w-d-xo.html
Napoleon was a pest. It took 19 years to get rid of the b-stard. The French got rid of the monarchy and what did they get ?? An Emperor (who is senior to a King or Queen).

Glad to see you continuing with more Napoleonic content. Epic History TV has some new material since you finished their previous stuff, such as the HMS Victory videos, Napoleon in Italy and now in Egypt.
Also a video on Eylau
These Napoleonic reactions are the best! There are also a lot of new Napoleon videos from Epic History - covering his early campaigns.
10:09 distinct color pattern helped espirit de corps, and helped commanders identify units through spyglass, its true clothes will get dirty, but other clothes would get dirty too, so its not much of a change.
So Nice to see you back Sarah SoGal
Great to see some of the reactions being uploaded to YT again!
Good to see you back y'all
Greetings from Coventry U.K.🙂
Oh my goodness, spring must be here, as Sarah reunites herself with the TH-cam space - glad to see you returning, TN!

You need to look up the battle of Nile nelson was the thorn in Napoleon's side
Borodino is a hamlet located at the intersection of New York State Route 41.

Why have you stopped making videos. I also miss your Tribbles and Transporters podcast. These kept me going during the pandemic.
Are you still taking zoloft? If so how are you now??
Please react to the other Epic History Napoleon videos :
In Italy and Egypt
They are great

10:00
definitely not the most tactical clothing😂😂
I find it a little odd that old Boney gets the acclaim he does. Lets not forget he was a dictator. Name an honourable one
Borodino was about 70 miles from Moscow well inside Russia.
Are you still having success with Zoloft?
Yeah it's 50 miles outside of Moscow more or less.
I have to ask are you related in any way to JJLA cos you look similar
It’s been a while; are you doing okay, Sarah?
