There were reasons why they actually fought in lines. 1. Accuracy. If everyone was scattered and in cover, no one would be hit by muskets. They were notoriously inaccurate and unreliable, with a 1 in 5 chance of misfiring in the best conditions and being virtually impossible to aim over 100 yards. As well, it took 15 seconds on average for a well trained soldier to reload (4 shots per minute), and kneeling took 50 percent longer. So unless you want to be uselessly tossing a small metal ball every 30 seconds or in an endless turtled stalemate, both sides agreed to fight in formation and open space to actually end the damn war. Plus, most men would rather be hit by bullets and have a chance of surviving then being stabbed to death and for sure dying. 2. Calvary, unless you have unwavering trust in your untrustworthy musket, you want to be with your buddies bayonets ready so as not to get cut down by the horses that are more than ready to jump on scattered troops. Of course the outright replacement if muskets fixed these issues but until then, this was the best way to fight with msukets.

@@Swift-mr5zi to add to this: proper "line & kneel" tactics (dispite seeming stupid today) were used by all professional forces and were hard to preform correctly if not trained properly now I know what your thinking "it's just standing in a line, shooting and kneeling" but no, the effectiveness of "line & kneel" tactics is half performance half action (P = performance, A = Action) you must stand defiantly in front of an array of guns and lower your guns/knee then lower your guns simultaneously at the target (P), Aim at said target (A), And fire simultaneously at the target (A & P). All this while being fired at. Now you next thought is likely something like "Well that's horribly inefficient" but, yet again, no. while the performance part of "line & kneel" tactics seems inefficient it actually maximizes the effectiveness of 17'th to 18'th century muskets. say you point your musket at a line of men and fire. provided your not a specialist unit with a rifled gun and you have basic training, you have about 50-30% chance of hitting roughly were your aiming and a 70-50% chance of actually hitting someone. so tacticians of the time went "have more men fire at the same target to maximize hits and kills". as for the "simultaneously" aspect. that was to make every kill simultaneous as well and to cause mass moral damage each shot. think about, which would freak you out more when facing a 5 man deep 30 men wide line: your allies and friends dying every so often while 30 men fire at you every minute or 21-15 of your your allies and friends dying at once every minute. then there's the "standing/kneeling in a line" part: "that 5 man deep 30 men wide line has been reduced to 3.2 man deep 24 men wide line and their STILL STANDING THERE" yes it is literally to establish dominance and, no, I'm not memeing. Line infantry were trained to stand in the face of anything and everything specifically to establish a sense of dread and superiority, I mean if they won't run despite all you've done to kill them, they start to look bigger than they actually are of course that effect gets reduced the better train the enemy is, but the effect still remains. then accurate guns showed up, making the tactic outdated, then rapid fire guns showed up, making the tactic suicidal, then modern machine guns showed up, making the tactic as brain dead as we currently think it is.

Nice video, as a guardsman myself I like the little but at the end. You could have mentioned that the plumes on the bearskin and the buttons where originally designed to identify units on the battlefield, and that the colour red had several tactical advantages; such as much more difficult to count number when marching in formation or when a soldier was hit and went down it would not look like a volley or artillery had any effect, demoralising the enemy in the process. And the Scots guards were formed in 1642 as the Scots fusilier guards to protect settlers in ulster, which was before any other guards regiment was formed.

Probably the best one yet, with the new animations and more artists on the team the videos have skyrocketed with quality, Always excited to watch one of these evolution videos as soon as i realize they are released. Keep up the good work!

YES FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These videos are great, thank you.

I think it would have been nice to mention that in the modern day uniform of the Rifles, the green berets and badges are styled from the regiment's heritage of the 95th Rifles and 5/60th Rifles of the Napoleonic Era

Another fun fact: The Coldstream Guards' rifles are ACTUALLY loaded with live ammunition and those bayonets aren't for show, and they aren't pencil pushers, they got at least one or two overseas deployment under their belt

@tomsoki5738

ACTUALLY they are not, while the bayonets are real the rifles are not loaded unless the threat level is high or an attack is suspected, however, ammunition is always only a stones throw away, and there is always armed police around Buckingham Palace who’s rifles are loaded

fantastic transitions!

Another thing is, the rank badges were moved from shoulder to chest as well as any paratrooper badge or formation signs were also removed for better camouflage

Dude while watching this I thought of the french uniform evolution and how when everyone was wearing brown in ww1 the French were just like “no” and wore blue 🤣

French wearing horizon blue was actually fairly logical and quite smart.

Sappers mentioned, day complete. Nice one! (also side note 14 weeks at pirbirght for rear echelon and 28 weeks for infantry)

in their traditional black and white uniforms, which are still in use today only penguins in training are issued a full fluffy thermo dress, which offers better protection against cold weather but is not suitable for amphibious tasks

I think you should have included the "New Model Army" Armchair, they played a significant role in the professionalism of the British army, even if they were from before the establishment of Great Britain.

Watching this video the ending part made me cry it reminded me of the queen I miss her

8:08: Love Zulu but always no love for Dalton so always have to put out: Zulu (real life): Commissary James Langley Dalton tells Bromhead and Chard we are not ditching the camp because, if we do, the wounded and the wagons would slow them down and the Zulus would catch up with us so we need to man the fsck up for a siege. Fights on the initial attack, co-ordinates up the initial defences before hand and saves a Hospital Corp guy from getting stabbed by blasting their attacker up close. 100% bonafide bad ass. Zulu (1964): Commissary James Langley Dalton hands out ammo and looks forlorn a lot at the end. Cue lots of confusion about why he gets a Victoria Cross at then end because he doesn't save the guy with him and seems a bit much for a guy that didn't do any fighting.

7:31 Zulus attack Fight back to back Show them no mercy and Fire at will Kill or be killed Facing, awaiting A hostile spear, a new frontier, the end is near There's no surrender The lines must hold, their story told, Rorke's drift controlled.
