    Well hello new followers. A lot of you may have followed me due to this thread or [insert future thread] which is great. If you enjoyed whatever thread that brought you here, then you will probably enjoy the threads linked below. I'll be adding to this list as time goes on.
    Alright, in honor of St. Patrick's day, here is a short thread on the excellent service record of the French Irish Brigade. It won't be as detailed as my usual but it will hopefully still be of some interest.

    This is completely random, but I absolutely love this 1881 painting of the Siege of La Rochelle. Richelieu just looks so cool.

    Reminder: just because you are vaccinated does NOT mean you should form a Macedonian pike phalanx and spend 10 years conquering the "known" world.

    Alright, my general thoughts on the trailer: I hope it's at least entertaining because... good lord. But I'll start off with the positives. The cinematography generally looks pretty good and the costume design seems mostly fine (some of the uniforms are off but that's tbe). 1/8
    He came from nothing. He conquered everything. From acclaimed director Ridley Scott, #Napoleon is exclusively in movie theaters this Thanksgiving. Watch the official trailer now.

    I understand the desire to make things more cinematic, but Napoleon's life already has a lot of very dramatic moments. You don't need to make stuff up. Anyways, I know a lot of this stuff is pedantic but I just thought I'd give my abbreviated thoughts since some people asked. 8/8
