A quick guide to infantry tactics and formations of the Napoleonic period, which first appeared in our video on the Battle of Aspern.

All achieved through the miracle of drill. 👕 Buy EHTV t-shirts, hoodies, mugs and stickers here! https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/epic-history-tv-merch-shop 🎶🎶 Music from Fi
