Napoleon Vs Russia: 1807 Historical Battle of Friedland | Total War Battle

The Battle of Friedland was a major engagement of the Napoleonic Wars between the armies of the French Empire commanded by Napoleon I and the armies of the Russian Empire led by Count von Bennigsen. Napoleon and the French obtained a decisive victory that routed much of the Russian army, which retreated chaotically over the Alle River by the end of the fighting.

Its amazing how much history this game series has been able to teach and be used as a tool to teach. One of my most favorite game series.

[travisdonaldstanley]

Marshall Lanns gets a game ball for sure.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Why isn't this on my recommended? I live for these awesome videos❤

[pissedoff-ismt]

Excellent as always. Don't always say something but always love your vids dude.

[oneshotme]

I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[baddercom]

You just can't comprehend the numbers of men in these battles absolutely insane numbers

[GnrMilligan]

I do find your content so interesting. You make complicated, and strategic battle plans easy to follow and appreciate. Even for those of us, who love History, but have never studied battle tactics. Also, I assume you have to set up whatever software you use to bring these battles to life. Choosing angles for shots for editing. Choosing resources and placing them. Even looking at maps of the battles. I can't even begin to understand just how much work goes into producing each video. But I can be sure that your work is underrated. Thanks for all the effort you must put in for our entertainment and education.

Hey man i love your videos can i ask you one question are you using mods?

[Cheeseman_]

great video, you should remove the bullet trails to be more immersive

[starrowpan]

the vivid animation gives me a real impression of the battlelands.

[NicanorIbanez]

Just to Fix some inaccuracies in the speech. Marshal Lannes was already in Friedland When General Bennigsen attacked as he was seeking a quick victory over the french corp. Marshal lannes hid his army under a large screen of skirmishers until General Oudinot Arrived. Anyways the video is good and i love your work❤

It's a pity that as one of the best Field Marschals under Napoleon in history, Davout don't have his own model in the game, without that distinctive bladhead just feel something is lost. For Michel Ney it is better use the model in game since there is one, which fits his appearance more as historically hi don't have mustache.
Also historically Lannes let his force to skirmish instead of fighting in lines (not to mention bayonet attack, it's way too aggressive for a skirmish) in order to conceal his true strength, therefore the Russians would be more considerate instead of just go on a full attack and wipe his force out. I know the game don't allow line units to skirmish, so maybe use chasseurs and voltiguers in the game to represent Lannes tactic might be better?
Whatever, still a wonderful video that well-edited and with clear storytelling although not very accurate, sometimes it's necessary sacrifice. Appreciate your work, keep it up.

This video is outstanding. Had the French lost, this would have been another story. I have a question: How do you get rid of the UI? I love this game and I wish I could record a battle without the UI in the way. You being able to do this must take some skill. Well done.

I've been waiting forever for new content. Thinking he quit. Grouchy wasn't made a marshal until 1815. He was a general of the cavalry.

[BordelDeMerde]

Great video like always! I have a question, how do you make to have a clear free cam like this bcz I don't find please? (cinematic)

[Fyrd_Productions]

14:55 You got french and russian troops on the same team?

[flicktick]

I wonder what mod you used to make these huge battles

[andreizach]

Just a question. Do you have like any specific mods you use to record these clips? Because i noticed you have some or alot of clips that has field command mod. And number 2 question is: how do you hide the flags on top of the units. Like are you able to record these clips without the unit flags?
