Napoleonic Infantry Tactics: A Quick Guide

A quick guide to infantry tactics and formations of the Napoleonic period, which first appeared in our video on the Battle of Aspern. In this video we try to explain why lining up shoulder-to-shoulder was not as stupid as it first seems, and how different formations were used to maximise firepower, mobility and defence. All achieved through the miracle of drill. 👕 Buy EHTV t-shirts, hoodies, mugs and stickers here! 🎶🎶 Music from Filmstro: Get 20% off an annual license with code EPICHISTORYTV_ANN 📚Some books from my Napoleonic library that I particularly recommend (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases): 📖Tactics and the Experience of Battle by Rory Muir 📖Weapons & Equipment of the Napoleonic Wars by Philip Haythornthwaite 📖 French Napoleonic Infantry Tactics 1792 - 1815 by Paddy Griffith 📖The Napoleonic Wars by Todd Fisher 📖Napoleon’s Wars by Charles Esdaile 📖Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts Support Epic History TV on Patreon from $1 per video, and get perks including ad-free early access, exclusive updates and access to the creator, and votes on future topics. #EpicHistoryTV #NapoleonicWars #Napoleon
