@@River.E.M Thanks, yes I noticed I'd spent it wrong after upload ☹️. I'll correct it if I make an longer Waterloo video at some point 🙂

[@River.E.M]

@@QuackingFilms all well! Do you happen to know when they'll release more figures or if there's a schedule for it?

[@quintorezwalker5210]

Can you the Battle of Hugomont and tell me all about this battle.

[@LCMhistory]

Nice ) Remember alosi making this attack , however at that time I didnt have those awesome minfigs from Aliexpress

[@QuackingFilms]

Thank you LCM! I remember your awesome version of it well, and the multiple parts of Waterloo you've made! I would never have had enough figures to attempt Waterloo without the AliExpress ones so they've opened a lot of potential Napoleonic doors 🙂. Glad you enjoyed it!

Omg man Ima big fan do you know when the battle of He la Sainte is coming out from napoleonic wars

[@taftquinceyheatleyjohn1140]

Love the references to 1970’s Waterloo! Also, great video and I’m looking forward to more!

[@QuackingFilms]

Thank you! I followed some historic accounts (did it wasn't just a pointless charge at the guns and then a withdrawal) bit couldn't resist that nod to the classic film that is such an inspiration!

[@schaferhundschmidt1798]

There were no ABBA references at all........oh! Never mind.😊

[@napoleoniclegominifigures]

Ed this was really enjoyable to watch and I can't even begin to imagine how much time and effort went in to it ! Brilliant.

Thank you! This was a lot of work but pleased with the outcome! 🙂. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinmolato692]

I LOVE IT! It was amazing that you stuck to the script of Waterloo and that there were still corrections made to fill in the gaps!

[@QuackingFilms]

@@kevinmolato692 Thank you - I tried to stay true to historical accounts, but with nods to the Waterloo film 🙂

[@kevinmolato692]

@@QuackingFilms May I ask where you get your script? In all my studies and enthusiasm about history (since I was a child watching Waterloo, A Bridge Too Far, Battle of the Bulge, and so on with my Daddy), I have found only one or two books that give actual lines spoken by specific people like Ponsonby.

[@QuackingFilms]

Yes it's quite hard to find full dialogues, but concentrating on a short burst of a battle like this meant I could compare the different articles on it and try to draw a timeline. Bernard Cornwell's "Waterloo" book is a great starting point, and articles on the Waterloo Association website are also good. I was able to swap-out the quote from Napoleon in the film for his actual quote on grey horses. This Article was really helpful for Sergeant Ewart, as it quotes the wording he and Ponsonby used, documented in his own account: ageofrevolution.org/themes/soldiers/soldiers-story-charles-ewart-the-most-illustrious-grey/ The only thing someone on the Waterloo Association pointed out was that the line "Give these to my son" from the film is actually incorrect as Ponsonby's child hadn't been born at the time of his death so he didn't know the gender - although I guess he may have assumed it was a son! Basically I enjoy finding real quotes and incorporating them, and then filling in the blanks with something that makes sense. Thank you for your interest :)

[@SlipdeGarcondeJour]

Excellent. I recognise the bits of Waterloo (1970) sound.

[@nursestoyland]

Sound the recall!

[@martinevans9757]

That was suitably epic!!! And nice to see my printed Eagles enjoying such prominence. ;) Great work!

[@QuackingFilms]

Thank you Martin! Your Eagle made it all possible - and caused the deaths of many minifigures fighting over it ;) a great model, highly recommended!

[@PolishGuy890]

One edit The french lancers weren't charging the Scot Greys , the Polish Imperial lancers were They're not availeble but you can make them using the Russian Ulan Guard

[@Duck_Man4]

The Polish Lancers weren't they were incorporated into the Dutch Lancers, and they didn't charge the Scot's Greys

[@PolishGuy890]

@@Duck_Man4 You're wrong They were charging the Scots Greys It's shown in Waterloo (a movie from 1970) Here i copied a text from google A lancer charging Napoleon's forces at Waterloo included light cavalry units known as 'Lancers' which were made up of both French troops and Polish soldiers There was a contingent of the Guard 1e (Polish) Lancers COMBINED with the 2e (Dutch) Lancers at Waterloo So it means they weren't incorporated they were mixed

I enjoy your videos and discovered the Lego compatible Napoleonic figures through your reviews of them. I've been buying them ever since. I'm not usually a fan of war of any kind, but the military uniforms of the Napoleonic wars are special. That and I'm an amateur enthusiast when it comes to human geography and geopolitics. The combination of the two is electric to me 🙂 Like you I can't wait to see what new figures will be released in this line. Scots Greys and Gordon Highlanders of course, but I'm hoping for Royal Welch Fusiliers and Monmouthshire Infantry specific figures 🙂 I don't think there's much hope of that though 😐 But I can dream 😊

[@priceymemes7699]

I imagine the reasons that Scottish fought for the English army against the French was because they needed to take some anger out because they haven’t fought the English in over 100 years

[@ImperialGuards1]

It was Britain, and it was a Scottish Regiment under command by British Field Marshal Wellesley. Basically they didn't have a choice either way because they're in the same empire
