Just been having a look at the history of the actual 7th fusiliers, rather interesting If we were to say that the regiments where named upon a historical basis (regiments in the British army didn't have names until late 1800s/early 1900s), the 7th regiment of foot (the royal fusiliers) where in action from the English civil War up until 1968. During the napolionic wars the regiment fought at the subsequent engagements: Battle of Copenhagen (1807), the capture of Martinique (1809), battle of talavera (1809, in sharpe the infamous battle where he captured an Eagle), Battle of Bussaco (1810), Battle of Albuera (1811). In 1812 the regiment (of two battalions) was at the sieges of Ciduad Rodrigo and Badajoz, and at the battle of Salamanca in the summer. In 1813 it was at Vittoria and the battle of the pyrenees. In 1814 the 7th was at Orthez and the final action for the regiment (in the napolionic wars) was in April 1814 at the Battle of toulouse. This was the final action in the peninsular war and forced the abdication of Napoleon. The 7th did not take part in any further battles against napoleon, and were not at Waterloo as they were sent to Canada to fight against the USA in the war of 1812. The regiment had 2 battalions during the peninsular war, the second of which was disbanded at the end of the war (before napoleon's 100 days). From what I can find there is no given reason as to why this happened, so perhaps the battalion of the 7th in this battle, and the disgrace Assquith brought upon the regiment got the 2nd Battalion disbanded! Loved this video and thought it would be nice too weave this into the real history of the Fusiliers. Hope someone finds this interesting!!

Major props to the editors/cameramen, hours of footage, multiple cameras, getting the close ups, and having two different cuts with both being excellent, especially for how much these versions need to cut out without feeling like you missed something, bravo!

[@alanb9443]

It’s funny how you mentioned Le sharpé. After Theresa is killed sharpe settles in France and married a French women and has kids. In Bernard cornwells (author of sharpe) ‘starbuck’ series which is based in the American civil war, there is a French colonel of the imperial guard who is sent as a obersever and ends up befriends the main character Starbucks. It is heavily implied in the series that this is sharpes son. He is said to carry a big Calvary sword ( like sharpe) and that his father was an English rifle man who married a French women but he took his mothers name.

[@thepaintingphase]

Oooh I did not know this, I’ve read those books but it must have slipped me by. Oh no……new hobby ideas inbound 😂👍

[@harfgarflarf]

Calvary or Golgotha was a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where, according to Christianity's four canonical gospels, Jesus was crucified.

[@stamfordly6463]

He actually says that his mother has been very sad since his father died IIRC. Which probably means that Sharpe lived into his late seventies or eighties given that he was about thirty when he left India in 1805. Quite a good run for a Bean character.

[@nmzc1]

34:40 To be more specific, these cavalryman were not French dragoons, but Polish Vistula Uhlans (they can be recognized by their characteristic cap - rogatywka), it was one of the best cavalry regiments of Napoleonic wars. British infantry had unpleasant encounter with them during battle of Albuera. I can imagine that this cavalryman who knocked down the main characters, is an experienced soldier who has been almost constantly in combat since the Polish-Russian War in 1792. Great gameplay btw, I hope that it isn't end of Sharpe's story on your channel.

It's Le Sharpé's world, and we're just living in it.

[@anathardayaldar]

Viva Le Sharpe' ! I can see him reappearing in one of the sequel series to become an unlikely ally because of his honor and super competence.

[@mikavanpolen8418]

This needs a sequel with a rescue mission, where Sweet William turned out to have survived in proper Sharpe fashion. If that fails: Launch another with Wellsely personally getting involved to get his favourite rifleman back.

[@Pratalax]

"He kicked me in ze groin!" Lewis' delivery on that line was perfect xD

It's so cool that you got peachy, and honestly this format in general is great for random guests and familiars alike! Yours are the only Battle Reports I can be bothered to watch.

[@Aussie_Archmage]

Really hope we see the return of Peachy to the channel for Sharpé 2: Sharpe's Gambit, hopefully with our true star in a new, improved, and promoted model. An attempted prison break from guerrillas, and some circled wagons for the French. I especially enjoyed the snappy editing cutting out all the humdrum.

[@dougpowers]

Holy shit, Peachy taking out his own commander was great!

There's the same amount of troops onscreen in this as there typically was on the show. 😊 Love these BatRep reports. Fantastic!

[@ogremark5]

When watching the show, I used to say that the number of the troops on screen was like a wargame - 1 for 10. A squad standing in for a company.

[@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689]

@@ogremark5 tbf that got better after the first series, though obviously was never near the numbers real battles then were. Talaveria was awful in series one, not surprised Sharpe captured the Eagle, he only had to fight a handful of extras and maybe a stuntman. Tell you what always felt a lot better was Hornblower. Somehow just felt like the battles in that seemed less CLEARLY limited by budget. Would be great to see a similar show now given how much cheaper the mix of practical and CG effects would be even on a TV budget to make it look a lot more epic.

[@Schneedrache06]

Well, today I learned that Sergeant Harker of the Catachans in 40k is certainly based on Sergeant Harper of Sharpe's Rifles. Which doesn't surprise me, I'm just surprised I hadn't learned of it earlier.

I think what’s really awesome about this channel, and what makes your batreps so endlessly rewatchable is that fact that it doesn’t even matter what game your playing, you’re having such a blast that you can’t help but get excited to watch. That and definitely just the amazing amount of character and narrative you put into them all with your custom scenarios and etc. it has really inspired me to look into crafting my own narrative missions for when I play with my own friends. You guys are awesome and keep the batreps coming!

This is the just middle of the episode. Part 2 is the sweet William and Peachy waking up wounded still on the field, sauntering back into camp. They round up the rest of cast and go on a rescue mission. Meanwhile Sharpe, Theresa and Harper fight their way out of dungeon, grab the Prince, duel the Frenchman again and meet up with the rescue party in the midst of the battle. Episode ends, cue guitar riff. This stuff writes itself.
