  • Great for the Napoleonic Nerd

    This is a great podcast if you already know the subject as it has lots of additional nerdy details. However, as an example, if you don’t know what happened at the Battle of Talavera you wouldn’t get any clear sense of chronology or narrative from the episodes focusing on this battle. If the hosts told the story using a clear , exciting and chronological narrative, then added all the nerdy details along the way, this would be five stars. At the moment, it’s only worthy of a listen if you alrea... more

  • Honestly the best podcast for history nerds.

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for probably a year now and I’ve not gotten bored of listening to the facts about the Napoleonic wars and more. One thing that I would really enjoy is an episode on specific regiments like the 1st grenadiers of the old guard or the KGL. Thank you for this wonderful podcast.

Q: So how does the combined arms philosophy work for the British Army?
