I saw that, then afterwards they had an ad showing that ITV are making a period drama about building a viaduct in Yorkshire.
But for some reason they appear to have decided the show needs a character who's an African American cowboy or something like that. Played by Clarke Peters
Enter Broadbent

You don't watch many period dramas, do you?
BBC have mastered making boring stories actually watchable, if this bored youre probably a paki or paki sympathiser.

Are they all speaking with a Russian accent, or a British one?
>>64440456
i wasn't talking about the explosions dimwit, the cinematography was interesting in the battle scenes and the Dano dream sequence
That was okay, a bit heavy handed compared to the novel but that was inevitable. I don't really care about the Kuragin incest but I have no idea why it needed to be involved.
>>64440492
>>64440358
They'll call you a pleb, but don't worry, it's all a bit confusing with foreign names and shit and all the families, you have to watch a bit more to get used to it.

they all speak French and all the dialogue between the Russian characters is in French - hence Pierre's "we can't even speak our own language" outburst in the first scene. there's a scene in the book where a character tries to talk to his peasants and they literally can't understand him
6.5/10

>>64441255
>So inaccurate was the ordinary musket that an attempt to hit an
individual who was aimed at beyond about 100 yards was fairly futile; but
the prevailing system of tactics, itself determined to some degree by the
efficiency of the musket, required only that a hit be registered at some
point upon a large and compact body of enemy troops: 'against
numbers, in close order, when aiming at individual men is neither
practicable nor requisite, and the main point, therefore, [is] rapid and
steady firing' .14 The effectiveness of musketry declined markedly
as range increased. W. Miiller, author of Elements of the Science of
War (1811), recorded a trial in which well-trained men fired at a
target representing a line of cavalry; they achieved 53 per cent
hits at 100 yards but only 23 per cent at 300 yards, and the
effectiveness was considerably less with 'ordinary' trained
soldiers.
Mines comes from this:
https://ospreypublishing.com/british-napoleonic-infantry-tactics-1792-1815
The source is currently my ass but i'm certain french light infantry were also able to fire quite accurately with just basic ironsights on their carbines also.
