Give 'em steel guys, give 'em steeeeeeeel!

That's right - we're heading to the Napoleonic Wars this week for a look at the weaponry of Holdfast: Nations at War - a game that finally gives Jonathan a chance to flex the '& Artillery' part of his job title.

Don't forget, as an Extended Episode patron you get an extra long episode with a bunch of extra content, a week earlier than the main feed, and it's ad-free.

Jonathan Ferguson, an expert in firearms history and the Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, breaks down the period weaponry of Holdfast: Nations At War, including the iconic British rifle, ‘Brown Bess’, the French Le Page Pistol, and an assortment of field and ship artillery & cannons.

Excellent!

Very nice, it's great to see some variation in the time period

Isafjordur events

If this is showing Napoleonic era France, Men of Harlech is almost spot on - the music was first published in 1794, though as a folk song it likely pre-dates publication substantially (it is about a 15th century battle, after all).

The Sharp tangent was an unexpected, yet pleasent surprise. Fond memories of that show. Also, Jonathan playing electric guitar on the battle field gave immediate Doof Warrior vibes. Episode on Fury Road/Furiosa/Mad Max in general when?
