- Order mixed was the favourite tactical formation of Napoleon and is often viewed as the ultimate combination of line and columns. But what did it actually look like, and why is there confusion surrounding the quotations often associated with it? In this short video I aim to clear up any misunderstandings.
when i first spotted this video on my feed, i naturally clicked thats my style sir.

And did any officers distinguish themselves during this action sir?

Cavalry tactics will be next :)
Oh this channel surely will be going places. Good content mate, well-balanced mix of info and visuals. Thanks!
I need more of this. I am from South East Asia
Nice job on this topic.
Thank for helping dispel the long myth that the French soldiers in the Napoleonic Wars only knew how to maneuver on the battlefield only in a column blob.
Thanks for making this man
Excellent vid!!
Hey I gotta say your channel is nice! For a couple weeks now I've been nerding out on Napoleon and the wars around that time. I ordered the book Napoleon: A Life (Napoleon the Great) by Andrew Roberts. Is there some other books you can recommend?
Thanks! Book recommendations are tricky as there are so many topics and different campaigns, so it depends what you're looking to get into. You've picked a good general one with the Roberts though, I certainly enjoyed reading that. 'Campaigns of Napoleon' by David Chandler is a classic and an interesting read for covering a slightly more military outlook on Napoleon. If you want a really nice easy read which introduces a few of the characters and marshals around Napoleon, whilst also giving an overview of the various campaigns, then 'Napoleon and his Marshalls' by A. G. Macdonell is a one that I really enjoyed when I was starting out. Of a similar vein is 'Napoleon's Cavalry and it's Leaders' by David Johnson, which is another easy read whilst still digging into some of the character backgrounds. 'Napoleon: His Wives and Women' by Christopher Hibbert is a good look into Napoleon's family and his personal relationships and gives a glimpse of his character. That too is pleasant read.
I'm not recommending these 'easy' reads as any reflection on you, I'm just hesitant to recommend books about specific campaigns or 'heavier' books on topics without knowing where your interest lies :)
@@ATimeOfEagles Thanks for taking time out of your day to respond! As I'm new to this subject I think your recommendations sounds perfect! I can always delve deeper after I've read those "easier" books! And no offense taken :) I've watched alot here on YT about both Napoleons life and on Military/campaigns and they equally fascinating.
I even bought a french 1802 infantry saber so this topic have completely hooked me! And sorry if my English isn't perfect as it's not my first language! But thanks again!
You're very welcome and that's awesome! Glad that you've found an interest in the period, but beware, you'll start with a few books, but very soon have your own library!
Very jealous of that sabre, it sounds epic! Also your English if very good, so don't worry!
@@ATimeOfEagles haha yeah I can imagine it's easy to get a library at home with this topic! I've always been interested in history. I remember in school reading the history book in class, looking at the art of kings and armies etc and daydreaming of the battles 😄 and as a Swede I get proud of what our little country did achieve in the past. But our glorious days are long gone now :P
Do you have any thought/plans on getting a Patreon? I would gladly support you there. YT needs more people like you on this platform. I'm so tired of all the clickbait, hyper adhd content screaming for likes in this MrBeast era of YT.
You should be proud of your nation! I am of mine, even if our glorious days are long gone as well haha.
That is very kind of you to offer. I'm currently putting a patreon together, so hopefully it should be up soon.
I know what you mean about YT lately, it is getting very tiresome the way it has been going. I'm just trying to make content that I would want to see, whilst also sharing what I find to be a fascinating subject. The fact that so many people seem to be liking it as well is incredible!
