Thanks man

Well this was a reenactment of the scene from the movie, so couldn't resist not using the audio for the voices. The music at the end I really didn't care to put better music. That music was a choice I made because it provided a sense of ending for the credits, it's also a very relaxing Trance song.

the dialogue between the two characters...are they the Earls of Cardigan and Lucan?

Well I only used two soldiers for the dialogue, so I really only wanted to use Nolan and Cardigan, but the voices for the audio are talking one after the other quickly, so I couldn't edit it out.

ah, though its ok, the dialogue is good anyway imo

I think the whole vid was amazing very enjoyable and excellent reconstruction, you have alot of talent m8.

awesome stuff <3

except for the fact that they charged into a well rounded, diversified full fighting force of russians, you should make them charge into line infantry, through it, go around, past a few light regiments, get pursued by enemy cav, curaissiers which can't catch them, before hitting on the artillery, and escaping. this doesnt do justice to those men =p oh and instead of howitzers, you should mix the casualties screen against screens of canisters firing into them, like 8 artillery firing canisters that won't damage the cav. then you sub in them getting hit. that'd be frickin awesome.

try a 3 man job, 1 army with 20 infantry + light inf, with about 4 generals spread out, the lines have to be at least 7 deep, x2. 2 rows of infantry, in disorder, not lined up with firing at will on. then have 8 units of light cav charge through the middle, out, turn left, while player number 2, armed with about 9 artillery and 7 cavalry, sends his 7 cav from the right, chasing the english light cav left. upon which, the light cav will eliminate all the art on a hill to the left, and exit.

oh and the charge through the infantry middle has to be like 1/7 of the total length max.

The Russians during Battle of Balaclava camped with their unicorns on open flat terrain and they spammed Lancers.

So this clue gives me the belief that Major Hem's Brother has been around for centuries

I wanted to keep the charge more simpler then what I did for my previous project video, the choice of music was bad, the sound was awful, & the scene didn't fit at all with it combined. So I just took my time to map a script with proper music for the theme, but I wanted to try something new. I added dialogue from the 1968 film Charge of the Light Brigade, and I added some music during the charge of the British Heavy Cavalry scene in the movie Waterloo.

oh and add in 3 cav from the left behind the arty moving to chase them after the arty is hit, then show yr light cav getaway. =p pursued by cav until a bit past the arty before stopping. the end. add in lots of convo to make it interesting too XD

Charge of the light brigade?

As in...

That's a pretty decent description of the Battle of Balaclava Point_Man, however it's far from complete! Balaclava is actually a port town situated on a narrow inlet approximately five miles south of Sevastopol on the Black Sea. The Battle of Balaclava took place on October 25, 1854 (during the Crimean War), and the campaign began with a large Anglo-French-Turkish force (over 60,000 troops) landing at Kalamita Bay in the Crimea. General (later Field Marshal) Lord (later Baron Raglan) Somerset (Lord FitzRoy James Henry Somerset, the British commander) chose Balaclava as his base of operations, where he would be positioned on the allied army's right wing. Unfortunately for the British, this would prove to be a very fateful decision as it isolated them from the rest of the allied army, and would later be the recipient of some of the Russian army's main assaults. There were far better choices for use as a base of operations and supply port to the west, but for some inexplicit reason, Somerset (Raglan) chose Balaclava.

At 5:00 A.M. on the morning of October 25, 1854, a large (over 25,000 troops) force of Russian troops under Alexander Meshinkov attacked the much smaller (less than 5,000 troops) British force in the valley just north of Balaclava, so technically, the Russians didn't "camp". However, you're absolutely right about their use of large numbers of uhlans and cossacks during the battle, although they actually had a lower proportion of artillery than the British (the Russians had 78 guns and the British had 26). The British also had fairly large contigents of both light and heavy cavalry, but the initially successful and extraordinarily valiant "Charge of the Light Brigade" inexplicitly was not supported by the British heavy cavalry, and therefore was beaten back by the Russians while suffering horrendous casulaties (out of 666 troopers 271 became casualties, and 375 horses were killed). On the other hand, Meshinkov utilized his hoards of uhlans and cossacks to great effect during the battle.

Although the Battle of Balaclava was technically considered a tactical draw (615 British casualties compared to 627 Russian casualties), it was a marginal strategic victory for the Russians, considering the fact that they had captured the British redoubts, captured seven British guns, and gained control of the Woronstov road (one of the two main roads in the area leading to Sevastopol). However, the Battle of Balaclava's main claim to fame was the incredibly valiant yet tragically unsupported "Charge of the Light Brigade" (and of course the fact that the article of clothing known as the "balaclava" {a face mask of sorts} was named for the battle).

By the way Point_Man, great video!

By the way Point_Man, great video!

Where the hell did all this come from?

I was only making a joke about that battle in a total war manner

this was a bit short though

You good boy some excellent facts, the extra tuition i payed for must have payed off

That's what community college will do for you Mummy!

few interesting things about Baron Raglan. one is that he gave 41 years of military service (1804-1855), from Napoleonic Wars to the Crimean Wars.and he was Sir Arthur Wellesley's right hand man during the Peninsular Campaign.his right arm was amputated after injury at Waterloo, but his left arm was stabbed multiple times.only was a baron for the last 3 years of his life though

Believe it or not Point_Man, there are some people who might view your excellent "Charge of the Light Brigade" re-creation video and not know anything at all about the actual Battle of Balaclava (where the "Charge of the Light Brigade" took place), so I decided to give them a brief historical overview of the battle so they can have some perspective pertaining to your video. Oddly enough, your "joke" about the Battle of Balaclava contained a good deal of factual content! Anyway, I always enjoy videos like yours based on actual historical events, and also videos like those The Nanny makes (fiction based on actual historically correct time periods). I hope you both keep up the good work, and I anxiously look forward to your future "creations"!
