Noteable Alternate World Differneces:
A lack of rain has caused the battle to begin early
Field Marshal Blücher does not arrive in time to save the British
Napoleon is killed/severaly wounded
Duke of Wellington is killed
Picton's death is delayed, rank is higher
Picton never lost his baggage, but instead lost his hat, wears Top hat into battle
Duke of Gordon is present in battle
Duke of Gordon is killed
Gordon Highlanders more successful at repelling the French Column
Tom Willoughby is fictional character
Pierre Cambronne is not head of the Guard Chasseurs, instead leads calvary
Comte Antonne Drouot is not head of Imperial Guard but rather head of artillery
Uxbridge's leg remains intact
Marshal Lannes is still alive, commanding in place of D'Erlon
Marshal Murat is taking part in the battle
Ney's calvary charge routs the British Army

From Waterloo: "Commanders of armies have something better to do than to fire at each other."
Love the machinima btw!
Papa Wells😀😀
Napoleon's ridden within range. Request permission to try a shot
I love that movie, I have seen it so much. Finally I see somebody who knows it!
@@ivan0525wow Waterloo is tied with Dr.Strangelove for my all time favourite film
Justin it’s one of my favorite films ever. I love it
I would have thought that if Marshal Lannes had lived till Waterloo, we would have been the Second in Command due to his military expertise and his connection to Napoleon instead of Ney.
Yes, he was a great Marshall as well as being perhaps Napoleon's closest friend. Napoleon was devastated when Lannes was killed.
Benjamin Lee Marshall Davout should have been second in command he would never charged with 10000 cavalrymen
@@ebbu.planespotting1903 I say he could have won if he had Davout, Massena in his Prime years, and Lannes with legs
@@sunwukong798 no not really that would change history in total but just Davout in place of Ney and the change would be enormous
@@ebbu.planespotting1903 Yeah I know right? Davout would never have gone and thrown a massive cavalry charge out of the blue like that
i always come back to this video every once in a while... its just so well done and i imagine a world where this scenario actually did occur!
I would just be sad that Napoleon died here....
haha he didn't die i think he just fell off his horse lol cause he makes that little embarrassed grunt
Napoleon would have been defeated just a couple of weeks alter by the Austrians and Russians
me too bruh
great video! loving the return of lannes and murat!
Whoa. Never seen the French cavalry and Marshal Ney being extremely pissed-off.
This is a work of art. Ignore the idiots who flame you for being historically inaccurate when it is clearly stated in the title and description and took place in an "alternate universe". Especially people like
+Max Barton xD who is a British fangay and gets too butthurt when he sees his countrymen get their asses handed to them in a video game movie lol
using audio from two of my favorite movies I salute you
@donorleone No he wasn't. If you look up the 1970 Waterloo movie on wikipedia, and look up mistakes, you'll get "The Duke of Gordon is depicted as leading his Gordon Highlanders into battle; in fact, the Duke was not present and the Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment, John Cameron of Fassifern, had been killed at the battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June" and if you read the Waterloo Order of Battle, John Cameron of Fassifern is leading the Gordon Highlanders.
Marshal Jean Lannes had died at 1809 at the Battle of Aspern-Essling. Marshal Murat deserted Napoleon after his defeat against the Sixth Coalition. Second If Napoleon had put as commander of his left flank Field Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout then the war would had finished on the 16th June 1815
I was basing this off of movies. It happen in the audio used, with The Four Feathers, and in the movie Waterloo, a babpiper get's a sword to the back in the middle of a square by a carribiner. In the game, squares break down over time when engaged with calvary, and can get easily overwhelmed. 60 cav vs 60 infrantry in square, the square doesn't stand a chance.
Yes it might well have been successful, saying that there were French artillery pieces and skirmishers moved up to attack the squares, which suffered some quite considerable damage. The attack by the Middle Guard was indeed too late, and their actual attack was also mismanaged by Ney up the slope, allowing even more time for the British troops to prepare themselves.
@Grimmsaw because the duke of Wellington army walked back 10 paces. ney thought they were retreating but Wellington men were found to be in square formation behind the hill to take on the cavulary.
Oh, thank you! :) I didn't realize the CC would also translate things. Thanks very much!
hey dont give such negative comments, this guy worked hard and has a imaginative side to this video, he worked hard and made it look real cool, its like a "what if" video and stuff u know? great job itflak
The reason is quite simple...
Remember how most of Wellington's battles, he defends? Wellington probably thought that there could be an instant push from the Imperial guard, who were at the time far away, but in pursuit. I only question however, allthought Ney saw an opportunity, why would he attack without support, from neither infantry or artillery, especially when he saw the squares?
Yeah, he showed no brilliance in his tactics, Wellington knew how to counter every tactic he used cause they were already old. Still, given that the allies were at each other's thoats before Napoleon's return, and that his tactic was to engage each of them before they could link up, I'd say there was a fair chance he could have broken up the allies using speed, and have broken up the alliance.
Wow. That was amazing. I congratulate you on such an awesome video!
@TheRomanRuler I know, he wanted the Guard as support, but Napoleon said no.
@ltflak, the British cavalry was decimated by the French lancers, so Wellington could no longer use them again during the battle. That was a huge advantage the French just achieved. Cavalry are essential if you want to win a decisive victory.
there is an error, marshal lannes died in 1809 when he was shot in the knee by a cannon shot.
I don`t want to fuss around in this matter, but I think it wasn't Lannes who attacked the center (and thus La Haye Sainte), because at the time the battle of Waterloo took place he was already dead (he was killed in the battle of Aspern-Essling 1809), but Drouet d' Erlon. I am really sorry for this I-know-it-all attitude it's meant just for informational matters :-). I find the vid grandious anyway!
4:18 Then ltflak wen't to the bathroom, Then Michael bay snuck in and edited a bit before escaping out a window, flak returned and didn't see the changes and uploaded
Hey, that was how Last Samurai was edited, I only followed it's example.
Wow that was funny
1:19 FOR SCOTLAND, LADDIES!
Well, if your going to go on numbers alone, The First French Empire would never have formed because the French Republic would have been crushed.
I agree Caesar overcame incredible adversity and so did Napoleon especially in Italy. I don't think his genius had dimmed at all: in 1814 he destroyed 4 Prussian armies in 4 days, but that year proved that even with Napoleon and his generals at their very best some times the odds were insurmountable. IMO Lee in the US civil war overcame similar odds to those Napoleon faced in 1815 but despite his genius victory was eventually impossible, the same is true in Napoleon's case.
Blücher didn't March that quick to Waterloo he lost the battle but took down many French troops and Grouchy marched quick to save Napolèon
you just got to love marshal Ney
The reason the french cavalry won against those infantry squares was because they used Marshall Ney as a battering ram lol.
I swear, dude probably had the thickest plot armor in world history.
Some even say Marshal Ney survived his own execution and escaped to America.
They fought because they believed in Napoleon, that is the why he became emperor anyways.
Yes it fucking is, I bought the Waterloo soundtrack just so I could play it in this video! Just watch a La Victorie est a Nous Waterloo Soundtrack video and find out.
Thinking about it, if it hadnt have rained Napoleon would have had his cannons and had the ability of movement. Although the prussians would have still been a problem
I don't think Napoleon's cannon would have won the day for him, Wellington's position on the reverse sloop negated much of the damage a cannonball would do. And they still had plenty of movement during the battle, Ney was even able to send artillery onto Wellington's old position to blast his infantry squares with grapeshot, while his Calvary charge kept them busy.
ltflak Yeah, I forgot about the reverse slope. What would have won the day for Napoleon though?
After Napoleon's failed conquest in Russia and exile to Saint Helena, his return during the Hundred days was doomed to fail.
TK Jones At Waterloo, I'd say that if Ney could attack Wellington's Squares with the Imperial Guard when he wanted (while Ney was in possession of the reverse slope), when they were near breaking instead of Napoleon holding off for an hour for Wellington to regain his position on the reverse slope, I could at least say they would have beaten the Allied British army. Harder to say how Blücher would have reacted at Waterloo to Wellington being routed, if he still decided to attack the French or not, if he did, it'd be hard to say who would win.
The Loop Productions I wouldn't say that. If Napoleon had won at Waterloo, defeated two nations in one battle, he could conceivably regain Austrians as allies given his marriage into the Austrian royal family. At that point, it would be up the Russian army, which historically was pretty awful at offence during this era, but at the same time, the retreat from Moscow might have given the Russian soldier a mythic status to the French soldier, so again, hard to say who would win in that circumstance.
Wow, I'm absurd, so a barrage of 15 innaccuate muskets would take down 20 horses? What were they using armor piercing rounds? And again, calvary did carry pistols and the horses were very large, any gap would spell disaster and it'd be next to impossible to miss a target like a square at point blank range.
Great video. Great work.
@chris garbutt or you could keep feint charging till the infantry gets there and make the infantry shoot them until they break.
Does anyone know what's being said in French from 0:17-0:45? Great video by the way. I especially loved the intro, it gave me chills!
the cavalry scene reminds me of the four feathers. "Sir the British Cavalry" "its not the british its the mahdi!!!!!!"
0:55 over all the years of fighting the french, i have become sick and bloody tired of that shite music that they play.
Oops a f#cking daisy.... If there is a subject that I absolutely know nothing about it's Resurrection
Portugal was not in this battle, But the begining of the end for Napoleon was when he lost in Portugal, and Russia was a catastrophe the final blow.
And great job :) I would love to see a great Napoleon movie with a big budget, Steven Spielberg or Ridley Scott would be perfect to direct it.
theres a mistake...murat wasnt in waterloo...he has betrated napoleon already 1814
Marshal Ney suffered from PDST after losing his army in Russia
@040392agh All that is already listed in the video info, but thank you for your input
I love these!
Dude, I'm not a fucking documentary maker. The fact that most of the scenes were based off actions movies should give you a goddamn hint, COMBINED WITH THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, HISTOCIAL ACCUACARY IS NOT PRIORITY *hint hint* *wink wink* If you want all that boring adhernce to history, please watch Naxzul666's Battle of Waterloo, you'll enjoy it more. I made this video because I was tired of the stuffy historical accuarcy that the videos came off as boring and static, with no dramatic tension.
Lannes died at Esling in 1809... he was never at waterloo!!!
Except you didn't clearly explain what was going on nor did u mention what happened as a result of this alternate victory.
Hmm...I wouldn't say that. More like inneffectial in WWI or WWII until Vietnam, where they unexpectly kicked ass.
0:18 Is that the song from Star Wars called padme ruminations?
That's what the video info says.
@f3wbs The Imperial Guard also works well against squares, and an enemy whose on the verge of breaking...It would have been perfect.
@TheNivea2000 Pretty sure that's already listed in the video info.
@BlueSmokeAndMirrors7 I'm not french but i gotta admit he was one of the most well known person in history but he will never be my emperor.
Battle of waterloo movie (1970)sound track lol just watched it!
@bloodngutspatriot Just saw it last night :) It was epic but I've gotta say I was a little dissapointed on the tactical aspect of it... charge up the middle under cannon fire.. plus Gettysburg music. I've seen too many remakes of that situation to the point where I actually beg for something different. But regardless the captioning was well done :)
and it was 11:35 the first cannon fired and the french march
@SenhorPesoPesado Probably because they were in square.
@expertstrategy Even with the center crushed, I question if Wellington couldn't have just closed in on all sides and smashed the French with calvary anyway...In fact, this brings up a question I've always wondered. Where was the British calvary at the time of Ney's charge? Why didn't they try a flank attack, or prehaps chase the French back so Ney couldn't bring up more horses and cannons?
This is not true. In fact the French Republic survived on numbers alone, because it first successfully utilized the "levee en masse", i.e., mobilizing absolutely everybody for the army. The French Republican troops were ill equipped, ill trained, ill disciplined... but they outnumbered every enemy army.
One reason for Napoleon's success was that the such poor armies would fanatically follow every successful general, and he proved his worth to his men in Italy.
If napoleon died, the French would surrender. Even dedicated troops stop fighting if they have no leader, no cause, no pay, AND are only fighting to destabilise thief country, kill pointlessly, AND against rapidly dangerous odds- even if most don't rout, some will initially and that will encourage the others.
which editing program did u use?
@TheSmallfire66 Part of the mod in the video info
PS: I accept your wish to step out of the discussion, and while I admire your temper, I do not admire what lies underneath.
adieu
can you do a video of the battle of new orleans?
@TheRomanRuler That's a poor tactic, why cripple your calvary's speed by dragging infantry along? Calvary can do many things on the battlefield by itself.
No, never used Darthmod.
which song is from the last samurai? =D
@Itflack
i m 100% sure...i finished napoleons biographie one week ago and if you dont believe me you can inform yourself..wikipedia for example murats biographie!
but how so ever its not that importand is it?..:D
it looks sad to see english soldier dying from the cavalry
Oh, sorry again, I read Your Alternate World Differences after writing my commentary - how embarassing
Did you use cinematic mods or something like that?
+ThatMacol : No, I just filmed the screen and zoomed in so that the UI wasn't visible. When I uploaded this video, it was meant to be watched in youtube "default mode" for the resolution to remain clean, "theater mode" hadn't been around yet.
ltflak I know how to get the UI not visible but I thought you used mods cause the cinematics are so good!
Why star wars music at the beginning
yea..... erm.... thanks for the late reply. i already figured it out.
The Last Samurai #8 - Ronin
btw i had asked like a month earlier =(
great job
They were still a British Army. When the Germans fought against the American rebels would you say that the Germans were at war? Or the British? I never did say the Germans were 'becoming British' or any of that rubbish you spewed out. I simply stated that they, at that point, where fighting /for/ the British, under their flag. Thus part of the British Army /at that time/.
how did u record like that?
even belgium is a small country it has alot of epic battles in history waterloo world war (ardennen)
i"m from belgium ^^
fire arrows oh wait......
howd u gety all three ranks to fire?
If Marshall Grouchy had pursued the Prussians after beating them at Ligny they mightnt have reached Waterloo to reinforce the British. Also Napoleon's tactics were not up to scratch perhaps because he hadn't been in the field for a year and was ill. Unusually he adopted a predictable full frontal assault, which meant numbers would decide.
he needed the battle. if he let welington dessingage and the britih made it back to the marching in prussians it would have been total defeat. and welington had the supperior position. it was a gamble of the french numbers beeing strong enaugh to break the british center in time. your right gruchy did a big strategical misstake. if maybe davout would have been in command... and not just with the guard... anyhow... if the battle would have been won - with our without grouchys wing... the campaign would probably still be lost do to prussian, swedish and russian reserves on the march. another 80-100k troops. french reserves had worn out
WHERE'S GROUCHY
Fuech gave the British the plans of battle in waterloo and they almost still lost.
@@marka7759 devout was in Paris.
@@danduerkop1370 yep! Guard reserve
@TheNikzaw I thought Marshal Ney's attack was the most effective attack made by the French at Waterloo, but his attack was incomplete. Ney had wanted the Guard to to strike when the last of the calvery withdrawed while the British were still in square, but Napoleon said no, which gave Wellington time to reform the center.
that or he could had used the regs to follow up.
Revenge is always a good thing to fight for, plus, it wouldn't have been entirely clear if he was dead or injured. Like Napoleon said in that Heroes and Villains, "angry men are gold".
beautiful film, that. "you don't have to take this fort with me, but I must insist that you come and watch ME take it"
@Grimmsaw I the video I meant it for Ney charging after seeing Napoleon get hit by artillery. The world turning red is a refrence to the movie Alexander where it appears Alexander is killed by an arrow, and the army becomes enraged, and begin a renewed charge while the world appears to turn to blood in Alexander's perspective. The idea being that the French, so enraged at the death of their Emperor that they would commit totatlly to the charge, and nothing will stop them.
@calistotanzi Christ I know, your like the 10 person to say so, not realizing that I stuck him in there to show this is a battle from an "Alternate" universe, but everyone misses the point. I get it, I suck.
Vive l'empereur! Vive la France!
Boooo France
Has. the marshal NEY lost his mind why did he send cavalry with out heavy infantry sport
Vive le résistance
Lol irl the British defeated the french along with Prussia at Waterloo
The scene is a homage to the similar scene in Alexander, where it was thought that Alexander the Great had just taken an arrow and died, which caused a sudden rage in the army, that caused them to furiously attack the enemy even though they were losing, and beat them back.
Seeing more of these battles would be epic. I subscribed for more. Heck, even seeing a representation of the Boshin War would be pretty sick
If I ever saw a good Boshin War movie, I'd make that video.
56 Englishmen don't like this...lol
well we won the real battle, so keep dreaming lol
@@aidankoliopoulos1196 Well, the allied side was always a coalition against Boney and the planning was Wellesley and his aides.
Napoleon was injured but survived, a bullet or any weapon of war can't take that man down
Where the hell was Blucher and his Prussians!?
its an alternate scenario which shows what could have happened if the prussians didnt show up, you should just read the title of the video
j wewa The least they could do is provide an explanation.
Deutschland die Schöne an explanation why the prussians didnt showed up ? no, that whould be stupid, this is supposed to show how wellington could have lost, and not why or how the prussians did
Part 2.
The real reason I didn't show them is because I could not predict what Blucher would do if the British were already retreating from the field. There would be no way for him to link up, and his force would be smaller then Napoleon's, but at the same time, the French would be spread out, routing the British.
Wellington: " Where the .... is Blucher? Retreat, retreat!"
Marshal Jean Lannes wasn't alive in 1815 and was not at Waterloo. Lannes was killed at Aspern-Essling in 1809 by Austrian artillery.
+Sam Reynolds You obviously never read the description, have you?
Young Sinatra exactly... died later after 2 days for the injuries suffered. Legs broken under the knees. He was been a great mashal.. probably one of the best.
Spyglass is a combo effect in Adobe Premiere, it's been a long time so I don't quite remember the effect, maybe it was circle and spherize? Differnt flags are just parts of mods.
why do all these Waterloo movie ect forget the prince of orange and the dutch foce would really helped the british during the battle
Because the Dutch are a separate faction, sticking in a Dutch general with Dutch troops means having them run around AI controlled doing God-knows-what, or having it reversed, with the AI controlling the British, doing anything but holding the historical formations. Another very good reason not to include the Dutch is their blue uniforms, which could confuse viewers who aren't familiar with the time period, and mix them for up French troops. Having them hold a British flag would just confused them even more. Technically speaking I did include a small Dutch force, but I left them far in the background, such as at 5:17, where the Calvary are engaging in the distance.
ltflak i understand but its really bothering i think when (not talking about your video) most videos who talk about Waterloo give crédits to the british and the prussian but completly forget the dutch who did some serious damage during the battle but again without the mention of prince of orange your two videos were really good
athomicritics British propaganda . They still continue to claim that Waterloo was a " British " victory and many of them believe this nonsense ..
Jeff Kodiac
not ENTIRELY true. true to a great extent.
if they claimed it was solely a british victory, they wouldnt have called it the Anglo-Dutch Alliance. they gave some credit to the Dutch who served that day. but they never ever credit the prussians as being the ones who saved the day.
Joshie Walker Sorry but i never heard a British said " Waterloo is a Anglo-Dutch victory "
I love the sound your using for the video because I’ve seen the movie you’re using. It’s an amazing movie and this is a good video
without prussia, britain lost. viva l'emperuer!
vive la France
000 000 britain is victorius rule britannia!
I'm just gonna say right now, I support both empires. Both the British empire and french are great to me... but what I really enjoy is the kingdom of France, sorry but I support king Louis the 16th all the way, I'm a royalist
even without the Prussians it would have been a Pyrrhic victory for the french and the British could have won without the Prussians remember the failed attack of the imperial guard the french were destroyed.
I wish
*At the Battle of Waterloo, Wellington has always been given more importance and fame, concealing the action of the Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, whose participation was decisive in achieving victory against the Napoleonic army and saving it from certain defeat . Historians have "conveniently" distorted and concealed the reality of the Battle of Waterloo, erasing Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher from memory.*
Blücher is the most famous Prussian general in history because of Waterloo.
@@Edax_Royeaux ^YESSS*
@theathiestalaby Well accually, Ney did have artillery support towards the end (he brought up horse artillery which fired point blank). The attacked which started in Wellington's favor, soon turned against him, and ended in a draw. By the end of the last charge, Wellington had had it, another charge and he knew he was finished, and it was this moment that Ney wanted to bring up the old guard, but Napoleon said no. I wanted to film it like this, but that would have been enormously difficult.
As Ney said when inducing Napoleon's abdication: "The army will follow its chiefs". If the generals had continued to fight which seems the most likely scenario - the coalition forces were a whisker away from defeat before the Prussian arrival. Then the soldiers would have followed them, Napoleon's army at Waterloo was made up of hardened veterans that had fought in previous campaigns and joined up voluntarily during the 100 days.
@Varyalover He's coming in my sequel, he'll arive the next day, but he'll have a stronger force then what Napoleon has left.
I don't know about that. From what I understand, Ney wanted to hit Wellington with the Garde right after the calvary charge, and Napoleon said no, which gave the British time to regroup.
Depending on the circumstances, had Napoleon died his empire would’ve just collapsed because his son and heir, Franz or Napoleon II, was just four years old at the time and Napoleon’s generals would not have restarted an empire under a child. Had Napoleon only been severely wounded but the Coalition Armies shattered, its very likely both sides would’ve grudgingly been forced to accept a white peace in the war.
