Description
Prussia. A state attached to an army. Since the mid XVIII century the prussian war machine, carefully taken care of by Frederick the Great has become an example for other countries. But as the old Fritz became older and older, the same thing happened with his army.At first sight everything remained intact. The troops were well drilled as always, an ordinary soldier afraid more of his officers rather than enemies. However the world went forward, and in 1806, Jena-Auerstaedt happened.

I hate everything about this pic...

Does the War of 1812 count as Napoleonic? It was a side-show of that war after all.

MOAR Napoleonic says I. So there. XD

well, currently I'm more into the lace wars period, but napoleonic stuff is ranked high on my list, so no worries xD

I'd love to see some 16-17th century, 100 years war stuff too. That was some fancy uniforms.

I've been starring on this for many evenings, studying every detail you put into this, as I'm used to do in case of such pieces.
I admire your patience and look of this battle artwork! Their faces, I like how they react on what's happening, and the movement you caught in those two falling ones.
You should stop hating this pic, tho I get your feelings there. I myself start to hate a picture on which I'm working too long, or it just seems compeletly wrong to me... but hey, for seeing the brighter side of it, we have watchers and their comments, they see the picture for the first time and their emorions are different from ours! It's the first impression, which is good as I see

The result is inversely proportional to the time i paid to this pic. it took several hours, but the outcome isn't as...well.."epic" as I wanted

you never cease to amaze me with your napoleonic work. i kinda want to segue to the period of 1812 to pre-mexican war stuff rather than civil war and 1860s+ indian wars.

Oh stop it please, it's not that good

yeah,actually. i wanted to focus more on the RED STICK CREEK WAR part of 1812. been doing some homework on uniforms and such.

nooo! haha, i kinda like your napoleonic stuff.

the uniforms and the policies of that age just seem so appealing.

One of the most humiliating defeats in German history I reckon,5 prussian casualties to 1 french.

On the other hand, the French just avenged Rossbach

Yet don't forget that Jena was actually much more effective than Rossbach was(even if Rossbach was a great victory of Frederick the Great).

well, your post does not collide with my own. Until Jena it were the French who could remember a humiliation, and nobody denies that Boney repaid old debts with great style

Auerstaedt is definitely my favourite battle of the Napoleonic Wars... What Davout accomplished there deserves eternal prays... I have no other example of such a feat in military history. And indeed it would have been even greater if that bastard Bernadotte had joined the battle instead of staying iddle the whole time...

Well, I'm not that good with corps numbers and their leaders, but yeah, being heavily outnumbered and still repelling infantry assaults and cavalry charges is a thing to praise
π: 0 β©: 1
Not only repelling but utterly defeating them... Anyway it's true that the Prussian Army of 1806 was a sham. Too bad it wasn't in 1870...

you're kinda right I guess

*imagines several Prussian staff officers facepalming at the mention of Jena and the ghost of Old Fritz eating his tricorne hat in rage*
I'll give you at least one reason not to hate this pic: it has made my day

I guess even him resurrecting all of a sudden and shouting "Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?!" again couldn't solve the problem xD
Hrm...well...if you put it that way

Thank god I see something named "Prussia" that is not related to that Hetalia Stuff! I really enjoyed it, the terrain is particullary interesting! If I may give a small critique, there's something about the anatome, But the artillery effects are really good!

APH isn't bad, it's the uniforms those guys wear that are some sad joke

Steampunk it!

Technically speaking there's also a solid dose of history-based steampunk in my gallery, but whenever i look at it, i shiver from it's crappyness...well, maybe except two space dreadnought designs...

Here's an idea: what-if ironclads and what-if pre-dreadnoughts? What if that was the furthest naval tech advanced? What designs were made and never built? What can your mind conjure up?

rofl, well, from what i hear here, you're overestimating me sir! technical details, cables, engines, pipes, wierd mechanisms are a thing for our dearest ~JanBoruta
