You know what board you're on right?

I've always wanted to see the movie Waterloo personally. Everyone goes on about how accurate it is, and I don't think M&B NW is a good substitute.

No. Wellington was the only person who could have beaten Napoleon since he was an absolute madman. If you look at what he really did ( not what most people tell you, that's a major myth) you'll realize he was probably smoking some shit.

You should watch it, it's a great film really accurate.

16,000 extras
That's a lot of commitment

>about how accurate it is

It gives Brits too much importance, but it's still pretty great

>Should Napoleon have won?

He can't win at Waterloo because he already lost at Leipzig.

Need suggestions for books on Waterloo and other books on Napoleanic Wars

I don't follow. Of course he would've been crushed after Waterloo, but I don't see why that would keep him from winning at Waterloo. Can you explain?
