The Mechanics of the British Army

This clip is based on Stanley Kubrick's movie, Barry Lyndon. The movie, and thus the clip, although fiction, gives a very good portrayal of the Seven Years' War (otherwise called the French and Indian War). The linear, block style of warfare - portrayed so well in the clip - lends a whole new appreciation to the 18th century European style of warfare.
