Here it is, finished late last night and uploaded mere minutes ago. You are the first to see this video, which doesn't go live until next Thursday 1800 GMT, so as usual please don't post the link anywhere public until then. Then share as freely as you like!

As you will see, this video was another labour of love, perhaps more so than usual, with a fairly detailed section on Napoleonic infantry tactics, which I hope is interesting... ?! All feedback welcome and let me know if you spot any deliberate errors/typos...

In other news, the ancient Greek version of Alexander's speech at Opis is coming along nicely and will be out in a couple of weeks.

Thank you again for all your support, and for making these videos possible. Hope you enjoy the new video!

Napoleon Defeated: Aspern 1809

In 1809, with Napoleon and his best troops bogged down in Spain, Austria decided to try to get revenge for her humiliation at Austerlitz three years before. Archduke Charles led an invasion of France's ally Bavaria, but Napoleon raised fresh troops and transformed the strategic situation in four days of hard fighting along the Danube. But having taken Vienna, Napoleon's overconfidence led to a desperate battle at Aspern-Essling, resulting in his first major defeat as Emperor, and the death of his closest friend.
