Does each little unit represent a battalion or a regiment?

*In the Battle of Waterloo, historians have "conveniently" distorted the reality of this battle. Wellington became increasingly popular and well-known, downplaying the action of the Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, whose participation was crucial to the victory against the Napoleonic army and the saving of Wellington from certain defeat.- They soldiered the 10,000 residents of Hanover, the 7,000 men from Braunschweig, the 6,000 men of the King's German Legion - Royal German Legion - and the 3,000 men from Nassau - they were not Chinese - REALLY THE VICTORY WAS GERMAN.*

I wonder how many casualties the first French infantry attack would have caused here, all sources speak of at least 3,000 French prisoners taken and another 2,000 wounded or dead, but what about the British?

Napoleon fought with Britain so late and his reinforcements arrived so late

Si les anglais n avaient pas été aidé, le combat aurait été tout autre

Le dictateur est mort 👏

le bruit de fond est insupportable... je regarderai la vidéo quand ces bruits seront supprimés

seria genial que hagas mas videos como este

Excellent post, thanks for sharing.

Leipzig please.

You can't fight on two front at once.. Dang this is massace 😨😨😢

Damn Grouchy... Ps: Great animation, good job! :D

Great work, brilliantly done. Very interesting to see the difference made by the Prussians.

Tres bonne animation...😊 Finalement quand on parle de disparus...s'agit il de morts que l'on a pas su identifier? Ou bien de déserteurs?

C'est n'est pas une bataille flambloyante, les flancs de la coalition ne sont nullement attaqués de par ce que l'on nous illustre dans cette vidéo. Le Maréchal Davout est l'As manquant dans cet évènement, évidemment il n'aurait pas entendu que l'empereur lui dise; Vas-tu nous laisser dévorer par cette absurdité!!

Hugemont didn't even fall...

Всем привет 👋 Я из России. Люблю военную истори, особенно разбор и тактику сражений. Сейчас очень много версий, что следовало сделать ,а что не стоило французской армии сделать изходя из той ситуации в которой она оказалась. Но даже не смотря на многие факторы, как невыгодная позиция для атакующих и ,что более важно проливные дожди, которые отложили начало сражения,а так же сделало почву очень неудобной и вязкой для атакуюших и наоборот очень удачной для обороняющихся. Но не смотря на это французская армия одерживала верх до прихода 2 ой армии Прусаков. Наполеон был очень близок к победе. Интресно как развивались бы события, не пошли он гвардию на левое крыло,котооое уже усилил Велинтон благодаря переброске войск ,потому как на другом пришли свежие войска Блюхера? Смогла ли старая гвардия закрепиться на сложных участках до конца заканчивающегося сражения? К тому же Груши уже был рядом. Но Господь распорядился иначе.

Just looking at this animation, it seems evident that Napoleon never had a chance. He seemed to be attacking a larger force piecemeal throughout the day before Blucher even arrived.

Please do more battle animations! Gettysburg would be awesome!

Did you make this? Can you do this style for other battles? You'd have a lot of greatful fans!! And I'll even pay you on patreon

Браво Императорская Гвардия.

Umm would be awesome if the Allied troops were colored to.their flags.

Superbe travail !!! Merci et bravo pour cette animation très claire !

In Jahanam inchallah

"The Prussians arrived at the end of the Battle"

Excellent presentation - thank you.

Every time I see an explanation of Waterloo, I get sick to my stomach. Seeing from our advantage of looking back, we can see how out-numbered Napoleon was compared to the British and Prussian forces. It was a slaughter, it shouldn't have happened and it's all history. Hopefully we have learned from this?

Chouette vidéo je like. Napoléon ? C est le boucher de l Europe à l origine de toutes les horreurs du 20 ème siècle commises par les perdants du siècle précédent obsédés par leur soif de vengeance

When watching this it becomes really obvious that Ney was attempting to break Wellington's right so that the whole army could then turn and face both the prussians and the rest of the British, because its better that they be all coming from the front rather than Napoleons front and right. I sincerely doubt that massed charges like that were spurred by Ney being stupidly rash but rather the dire need for the army to have space to turn and face the flanking prussians.

A most excellent presentation. Now to watch again, in slo-mo…

Admirable. Votre travail est tout simplement grandiose. Merci

5vs1 normale que nous perdions mais nous avons dominer pendant longtemps il serait temps de ressurgir du néant

Thank you so much> Really shows how much the Duke of Wellington was in a amazing position.

L idee est excellente !!! Cependant il faudrait si possible bien sur que se soit sur une plus grande echelle avec les unites representees et surtour que les mouvements soit un peu moins rapides ! J ai vu le meme representation interactive aux invalides a l etage. C etait la bataille de Fontenoy. Les Anglais prenaient une correction c etait d autant plus passionnant !!!

3:10 The Last Stand By The Old Guard... 💂

clearly the vast amount of NAPOLEONS ARMY IS VERY SCARY,.. but he doesn't know how to handle them carefully, and his general is not very good at tactics... :( :( BUT STILL VERY OBVIOUS WHEN THE PRUSSIANS ARRIVED THE BATTLE IS LOST...

Napoléon faisait le pitre en Europe jusqu'à ce qu'il combatte directement pour la première fois contre les Anglais .....

Excellent.

0:00 i've never seen a man so happy holding his bayoneted gun

It's a few minutes behind by as much as a full half hour slower to the same day account of movements, most done by the French as the British-Dutch-German coalition remained on site with minimal effort, Lord Wellington uncommitted to risk it all or any of it in the face of Napoleon wit on master counter maneuvers. And the odd proceeding of the Imperial Guard last charge without correcting the slight deviation left the front units took on their climb up the slope straying off the main road, which they corrected within 10 minutes of it noticed But following on this Time clock slightly behind, still let's do it, I had never been able to understand WHY WHY WHY WHY the French Cavalry attack after 15:20 hr. never had the much NEEDED SUPPORT from Infantry, even Light infantry to remove or at least to break the slope edge single front And by reverse stumbling twice, sending the Imperial Guard heavy infantry last attempt to remove Wellington of the Field into Brussels or off the slope and fighting down hill the way out, so the Germans could be deal with without being flanked by the hill.... without Cavalry support The first column and part of the second of Imperial Guards did make it over the ddangerous edge of the slope, the British units but one on that central spot did remain crouched off target, even having the advantage of the height (something that was much shameful in the full century earlier, so morale must have stung some on them in the face of the French hard veterans to scorn them) but on giving order to fire they caught the column on a hell of crossfire from both sides, and within 2 volleys the first Column lost between 60-70% of its Force to be any effective strike marching forward, also over the bodies of all those fallen in their way, slowing them further. The second column already up almost its full force saw this, and however receiving some casualties was going to push forward after the smoked wall cleared some, and in the foggy instant halted when they saw some of the surviving column retreating to join them and close ranks however the almost instant shell-shock they must have received.... But this alone caused those right below the edge to mistake it with a retreat to escape, and discipline broke as they turned down and marched down some breaking ranks. They had seen the first Germans arrive on the horizon as they climbed up, and feared these gaining their back, and be caught in a lethal pincer move. Napoleon was right, Wellington could still be broken in half and as the day ended neutralize the Germans below. If only the Chasseurs of the Guard would have continued deploying forward fast enough just a bit more, so the third column could have arrived and turn the firepower more balanced on their side.... else would have happened. The almost annihilation by crossed fire from two British units over both sides of the first Imperial Guard column over the top, not even shooting back in full force but while they were still marching to present battle (as they didn't see the not-standing Brit ranks over the fully grown grass to their sides) impressed confusion on those astride on the top 2nd column blocking a still larger and harder Force of 2 further regiment columns behind them, just on the slope. They never got to deploy face to face and get a slight chance to combat the British front line. Only when they were finally retreating was when the British were ordered to move forward to repel them, which actually never happened as it was a chasing down the hill. There was never a bayonet close quarters contact between the full Force of the Imperial Guard or just an equal line reached and the British lines hiding on the slope top. They never contested Might, firepower kept them at distance, fogged the French off the edge and some were massacred just by cannon point blank later. Twice the French could have won, and they had a Full Force lost elsewhere distracted in small and useless engagements off the Central Field. Communications in that Age was still a hit or miss unreliable mess that could make of unmake victories and make defeats without armies coming into contact

En gros deux grade armée contre une seule.. c'est de la triche.

This was only the final stage of the battle. By this time, the French had already failed to gain the upper hand. It started earlier when Napoleon tried to drive a wedge between the Prussians and English, dealing with both armies separately. The Prussians didn't just suddenly arrive as shown here, they had broken contact with the enemy force, countering Napoleon's tactic, then the main body of their army broke away from an enemy force again to have a joined force with the British to oppose the main French attack. By the time this animation starts, the French had already played their card and lost.

On c'est battus a 1 contre 2 les soldats francais etait des tigres vive la France 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

great animatiom , well done ,, once the allied armies joined , napoleon was doomed,, just finished reading bernard cornwells excellent history of the battle of waterloo ,, if anybody is interested ,, well worth a read .

Merci pour ton animation de carte, elle ma bien aidé pour faire une vidéo sur waterloo.

Forgot the attack by Bachelu's Division on the British line north of Hougemont after the cavalry attacks, I saw them go after the middle guard attack started in your vid - wrong timing.
