Musket Warfare in VR - Pavlov has Peaked

Pavlov VR and it's insane custom maps are some of the best VR shooter content on planet earth. Holdfast in VR is a great concept, and it's made for some of the funniest moments of my gaming career. Not sure how Pavlov keeps it up, but the Pavlov VR community continues to make the best new VR maps, and Holdfast is just the newest one that I have found. So excited for tonight...

6:48 I'm a bit of a Napoleonic warfare history buff. I don't know that there was a significant difference in the quality of the cannons on each side. I do know that both sides had lots and lots of cannons in every single battle. For a typical battle the number of troops in the army is reported in the tens of thousands, and the number of "guns" (a.k.a. "cannons") is reported in the hundreds. I believe Napoleon tended to have more cannons (ex: if his opponent had 150 cannons then Napoleon probably had ~200 cannons), but mostly he is famous for how he used his cannons, grouping them into massive concentrated "grand batteries", while his opponents were more likely to keep their cannons spread across their line. Also worth mentioning, while Napoleonic warfare inexplicably has a reputation for being clean and polite and glamorous (probably due to very effective propaganda at the time, aimed at getting people to support the war effort), it was actually absolutely fukin brutal. In the aftermath of a big Napoleonic battle you could probably walk from one end of the field to the other without ever stepping on the ground because there were so many bodies. Tens of thousands of casualties were suffered in battles lasting less than a day on fields only a few kilometers across.

[@monsieursir1305]

It should also be noted Napoleon was an excellent Officer of Infantry as well, tending to have an advantage in field organization and movement over his enemies due to his excellence in their management and assignment of his famous Marshals to lead them. Easy to forget how he was essentially a master of all fields of combat within the era.

1:06 I believe you meant to say it is one of the most genius. By having inaccurate guns and scary noises, the point of the war was no longer kill as many as possible but to get the enemy troops to route. The Civil War was the first modern war with much better weapons hence why is was so much more bloody when their lines of infantry actually could shoot their target. Line warfare was made so that you could actually hit something with a volley rather than hit nothing if you were by yourself.

[@Quincy_Morris]

Music was vitally important on the battlefield as communicating with armies the size of which the world had rarely seen was very hard especially over the loud din of battle. Musical instruments was one of the many ways orders were communicated to thousands. In light infantry combat (which this and most games of this type represent) such musical instruments would not be present. Flags of course also served similar purposes. Routs very often occurred due to a lack of communication as much as loss of life. As if a segment of an army doesn’t know what to do they will fall back to their chain of command to be given orders or stay in place in a tactically unuseful area.
