A good response to historical inaccuracies found in the trailer from the Waterloo Association: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbXiYLi1ys

Back in the day, the Soviet Red Army trained 16,000 troops in Napoleonic Era artillery, cavalry, and infantry tactics. They were first used in the Russian movie 'War And Peace.' Hollywood hired them out for 'Waterloo' with Rod Steiger.

If you want to see a great reenactment of the battle, watch that movie. I'm speaking specifically about military tactics.

Christ, if the video is an hour long how long is the trailer??

[–] ABCDE 2 points 1 year ago

Aha, three minutes I think? There is so much history in that period, that even the appearance and the fact that there is a speaking part for one person in the trailer gives those in the video hope for the movie.
