Historians REACT to Online "Roleplayers" in Holdfast | Experts React

- Sarah Lacey and Rachael Hill are back to take a look at one of the strangest games they've ever seen. In Holdfast, hundreds of players are set against one another other to recreate Napoleonic battles, with a wide variety of classes.
The game is supposed to feel pretty realistic. Most shots kill you instantly, your rifle takes more than 15 seconds to reload, and the animations are slow and clunky.
Now, the important part is that the game allows any player to speak using their microphone, so it's grown a community that likes to role-play the game.Players make speeches before charging, try to speak French if they're playing on the french team, etc...
The other part of the community has decided to use the microphone feature to become absolutely insane.
Through all that, Sarah and Rachael try to make a commentary on the realism and accuracy of the game, and even comment on the behavior of the role players trying to play in the midst of all the chaos.

Historians: That's not very accurate
Holdfast gameplay: "It's just symbolic"

It really be like that though ive heard some guys trying to roleplay but some other guy decided to start doing that bend backward emote behind some other dude and it turned into us getting shelled
@Just a normal guy Hello there Very bad
Are we not talking about how they're "historians" and they call cavalry "calvary"
@@denierdev9723 no, we won't. People do mistakes, that is it.

@@leevancliffneridacampo7769 Highly strategic gameplay. You see, if the enemy thinks you're a horse, they'll be less likely to shoot you.
@@mchagnon7 Is this sarcasm or truth?! 🤣
If this game didn’t have voice chat it would’ve been forgotten long ago. But every round is so chaotic and unique because of the random chatter it’s endured.
I love how they are seriously breaking down the reality when it's just a bunch of gamers fucking around.
Pretty much what happens when unmarried women reach the age where they know they’ll never be married nor have children. Thus they set out to criticize everyone else to cope
They seem pretty chill tbh
It’s cool the game sorta forces you to play somewhat realistically.
@@kokomalt Didn't say they weren't chill, but they're analyzing it accurately for how it should be historically and the gamers just wanna have fun hehe.
Right as I was reading this some french soldier started spewing "Hon hon Qui Qui" XD

@@mercistephens7325 Nope .Obesity is a big problem today same with tooth issues.
Did you just judge my comment or do you have actual research to prove im wrong?
If you do then i will admit i was wrong
@@dude9318 Sweetie do you think obesity and tooth issues are the only diseases lol? Every since humans settled down into farming/pastoral communities they were racked with diseases like cholera, tuberculosis, and more. Shit that's easily treatable now put could've killed half the town in the past I mean people were dying from the common cold for ffs. In the Napoleonic era people didn't even know about the germ theory they thought that diseases came from "bad smells". Hell people in London were literally shitting where they drinked water? Infant mortality and mother mortality by extension was through the fucking roof. Oh and back to that comment about teeth issues. The reason why people have teeth issues is because of the high consumption of sugar, something that was prevalent during the Napoleonic era. So the difference you're trying to paint between people's teeth falls flat even there. So yes you're completely wrong lol.

7:12 "sir I'm in the tree what do I do" lmao
3:20 Yeah,this about sums up the whole community the picture, the name.
The most important thing to understand here is that these players have never met before, and probably never will again. They're forming comraderie and agreeing to use historically accurate tactics in the spur of the moment, and it's amazing
Cuirassiers (the “cavalry” they’re talking about) rode strong, large, and slower horses that would crash into formation of other cavalry as well as line formations, most of the force behind the charge was from the sheer weight of horses smashing into the line, so yes horses were used as a weapon in the context they discussed. They allude to this concept of overwhelming force when they rightly point out that line infantry fired in close order formations because it was the directed firepower of many muskets all at once that made muskets viable battlefield weapons, but they just don’t seem to be able to make that connection when it comes to cuirassiers. Btw cuirassiers were named after the cuirass they wore, which is that gray piece of armor you see the cavalry wearing. However cuirasses came in and out of use throughout the Napoleonic Wars, it really just depended on the army and the time period if actually any cuirassiers wore a cuirasses.
Normal and larger horses were also ridden by dragoons, or “line cavalry”, which were an all-purpose sort of cavalry that would face off with other cav, do scouting, they could skirmish the line, operate on the flank, but their main role through their first implementation during early modern warfare was to dismount and fire muskets. However this was phased out during the Napoleonic era.
Lighter horses were ridden by hussars, who were really the ancestors of the knightly figures the women in the video talk about, not the Cuirassiers. Hussars were seen as dashing and flamboyant soldiers who rode fast horses and dueled a lot and had honor and all that sort of stuff. If hussars were doing anything on the battlefield besides looking on fleek it would be mostly scouting or fighting in skirmishes. You can tell them apart by their busbies (the thing that British guards wear but with a flap coming out from the middle), and their stylish facial hair. Chasseurs are another important light cavalry distinction, they were less prestigious than hussars and fought in rapid actions. Chasseurs in Napoleons army wore green uniforms and conventional shakos on their heads. Lancers rode fast horses as well, they however were used as a sort of shock troop, who would crash into line and cavalry formation and cause lots of casualties in a short amount of time. Most of the lancers in Napoleons army were Polish, so you are more than likely to see them with a czapka (look it up I can’t explain it) and a red and white banner on top of the lance. This doesn’t mean that coalition armies didn’t use lancers, however most of Europes greatest lancers came from Poland which was a French-aligned nation during the Napoleonic wars.
So calling any one cavalry just “cavalry” is not at all appropriate. It would be like calling a car just a machine with wheels, it is technically true but it’s practically unremarkable and demonstrates a fundamental lack of knowledge on motor vehicles as a whole.
I’ve just realized I’ve wasted my time writing an essay about cavalry in the Napoleonic wars… it’s just these two had absolutely no clue what they are talking about and it was frustrating :(
I wouldnt be so quick to dismiss them as having no idea what theyre talking about based in a 5 minute, highly edited clip.
The point of the color Bearer is that they make the Army walk faster. The point of the musicians is they make reloading and individual actions quicker. Just like how orders were given out, certain songs give certain boosts. It could give you the ability to reload quicker, it could give you better accuracy or it could give you slow heal
9:56 I spat my food bruh
I appreciate how these experts can make commentary on these games with a sense of humor instead of just being like “well, you wouldn’t have instrumentalists hiding in a house playing by themselves or horsemen just riding in close circles” they understand it’s a game and that the people playing them don’t always act as they would historically.
One of the expert is a archeology which makes me wonder what expertise she has in the Napoleonic wars. Aome of these video game history experts are really suspect
@@niclasjohansson5992 They just picked up two random people off the street and gave them the title of Historian for the video. They have no actual historical knowledge.
@@niclasjohansson5992 She might specialize in cultural anthropology, which is a subset within archaeology that focuses on people groups throughout history and how they lived. Nevertheless, it is hilarious that two “experts” are reacting to a meme game 😂
@@melvinloyalist6758Not saying they are not good historians but they are not experts in this field which makes the video pretty pointless
I love how fun and chill they are, I would watch hours of them commenting on games and stuff
I honestly believe the Musket was perfectly accurate to a certain distance because the Japanese had a similar black powder weapon but they used it in conjunction with a stand for the barrel to help prevent fatigue while aiming which is what I am certain we see in historic battles where men were holding guns that were unexpectedly heavy for long periods of time. I feel like the amount of bad mouth press the musket gets is purely because of this and the people wielding them were on average underfed and not the most physically astute
Ik it's late on, but it's true that muskets aren't stupidly unaccurate, aiming and firing one could kill somebody further than people expect with the ammount of power put behind the ball

I love how they brought these professors who know a lot of the history of this era and the game itself is kinda authentic to the setting it's in but instead they end up seeing how crazy and funny the players are with it. Also interesting how they managed to even educate me on some stuff from this era too despite the randomness in the video clip they saw lol.
If you want some good learning of the era, try the Sharpe series; it's not always 100% accurate, but the endnotes provide a lot of the stuff that's missing.
@@btf_flotsam478 Thanks for the recommendation, will check them out for sure
i would disagree with you about the "professors who know a lot of history about this era", i myself not any kind of historian or anywhere close to that but i do love to research and learn about history, and when i listened to this two professor i have a feeling that they aren't the right person that Gamology should choose for doing a reaction for this game, not because they don't know anything or they are a terrible historian, it's just that this isn't the field that they are studying,so i googled their name, i found that the Napoleonic war era isn't the specialty( i may missed a lots since i only did a quick search)and they aren't military historian or studied specifically on he military field either, but if you compare this vid to the others vid Gamology made, like the spec ops for example, im sure that the other one will feel a lots more professional than this one.

Even today, the oldest Cavalry regiments still have their traditions
In my opinion, cavalry by this time period were essentially little more than shock troops used to surprise the enemy.
Look, just imagine for a second you're a soldier, and then all of a sudden you just see, coming over a hill, hundreds of men on horses with gleaming armor, you'd be scared shitless and probably try to run,
That is the only use cavalry had by this point. They were just useless without the element of surprise
@@cb41503 Even in the medieval period, cavalry was basically useless against a prepared enemy, since even the best trained horses will absolutely refuse to charge a row of braced pikes.

@@spare1518 Why are there so many gentlemen from the colonies?
Maybe try finding military historians to react to these kinds of games. They'd probably be able to provide better insights than what's discussed in this video. They don't seem to know much about the period.
The dumb remarks about the British wearing red immediately told me they're not qualified. The British decided upon red because the dye to color the uniforms was very cheap and red doesn't fade quickly with prolonged use and exposure to the elements. And all armies of the period wore monochrome uniforms so it was easier to distinguish friend from foe on a gunpowder choked battlefield.
When I'm studying 19th century military tactics I typically don't go looking for an archeologist.
“*HON HON OUI OUI, BAGGETE*”
They didn’t react to that!?

The musicians have a list of songs that they can choose from. They can then hit a button to toggle the music on or off. Both musicians, and flag bearers give teammates beneficial effects that do things like increase reload/movement speed, increase weapon accuracy, or increase damage done.
That was a very good clip of a well-trained horse. It's going the extra mile like that that really pleases the crowd.
Holdfast is one of the few game where the fun is in breaking the immersion with a guy spamming a Hitler speech and basically when the mics on you are having a good time

"I like how this guy's using his horse as the weapon itself."
"Yeah, not sure how that fares for accuracy..."
Innumerable Death-By-Horse Victims: *I can attest; it is very accurate.*
i miss sovietwomble clip, where they say "sir, i hit someone" "oh.. whell done. where did you aim" "... to the enemy sir".
I try to make war games (as a roleplayer) seem horrifying as hell when I play them, because just imagine how these people felt in these situation, if I get shot I scream in terror, it's quite amazing to see people's reaction.
They keep mentioning how bright the colors of the uniforms would make them stick out in battle like it's a bad thing, but back then friendly fire was a very real thing especially when the visibility on the battlefield was so low due to musket/cannon fire. You shot at what moved in front of you.
9:29 I once read that the famous cavalry charge of the Dragoons at Waterloo was only sucessfull because continental Europeans had killed basically all good horses in over 20 years of fighting wars against each other.
I seriously appreciate these two and not making everything into some sort of simulator of what the game is portraying. They understand that people are making their own fun in the game and have an awesome sense of humour to go along with it. We need them back for more.

Germany could never have won against the USSR, they probably would have done much worse if they went to war with them that early since half their army was still horse drawn which might have been more advantagous by the end of 1941, but they'd still be heavily outnumbered and the French and British likely would have actually had the time to prepare and thoroughly invade while Germany was preoccupied. Only reason they didn't when they were focused on Poland was because they just weren't ready.
