A Warhammer 40k lore documentary on the True Size of a Krieg Regiment! Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus play.tacticusgame.com/invicta-1224 and use the code "Invicmas" to get 2,000 Gold, 50 energy and 1 requisition order.
We continue to explore the true size of armies in Warhammer 40,000. This particular episode focuses on a Krieg Siege Regiment. We begin with the history of Krieg as a thriving hive world and how a disastrous civil war eventually left it as a hellish death world. Yet from the ashes rose a new Krieg army, the Death Korps.
We cover the Krieg Military at a high level. This includes their war doctrine and their particular ways of fielding massive troop counts for siege based combat. We then review the Death Korps army organization such as the 88th Siege Army which fought at the Siege of Vraks. Finally we reconstruct our own theoretical Siege Regiment from the humble Krieg soldier to the massive Line Infantry Company. In following episodes we will cover the armor, artillery, and support companies of this vast combined arms force.

Documentary on the True Size of the First Crusade! Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus https://play.tacticusgame.com/invicta-0825 and use code INVICTADEPTUS for extra rewards.
In this history documentary we seek to bring to life the army of the First Crusade. Contemporary accounts report incredibly high figures on the order of 600,000 men with claims that the army would have numbered in the millions had everyone made it to the holy land. But just how much can we trust these claims.
We reconstruct the army using using more recent academic analysis of casualty rates and unit composition ratios to estimate a more accurate model. This is covered with topics or organization, equipment, and more.

A 3D visualization of Napoleons Army, starting with the infantry. Try Opera browser FOR FREE here: https://opr.as/Opera-browser-Invicta
In this history documentary we bring to life the True Size of Napoleons Army. This subject is absolutely massive and so we will be exploring it in a series of True Size episodes covering the infantry, the cavalry, the artillery, and finally the combined arms force of an Army Corp. This video focuses exclusively on the infantry. Here we begin with the smallest level of the 15 man Ordinaire and go up to the largest pure infantry group of the Brigade.
I hope that by visualizing the army in the way you can get a better understanding for a Napoleonic Army and especially the way in which the Napoleonic Wars were waged across its famous battles including the Battle of Austerlitz, the Battle of Waterloo, and more. For those with a sharp eye, you will now be able to see how such formations may or may not manifest in popular media such as the Napoleon Movie battle scenes.
