Eighteenth-Century Combat Podcast

British Troops Maneuvering in Close Order

Dear Reader,

I had the great privilege of being a guest on Rob Rhodes' History to Wargames podcast. In this episode, we discussed the nature combat in the mid-eighteenth century. By its very nature, a podcast is perhaps less "scientific" or footnoted than the written word, but Rob and I had a lively discussion, and I thoroughly enjoyed being a guest on his excellent podcast.


You can find the podcast here.

We discuss a number of articles published on Kabinettskriege in recent months, troops firing without orders,  the frequency of melee combat, and troops moving at speed.

Thanks for Reading,


Alex Burns
