That is so cool! Thank you.

This looks great. Gives me  a Shiloh:Fiery Trail vibe, and that was a great docudrama.

Ooh, that's gritty.

Good find.

Can't find the whole movie which is a pity as its v good (though short).

Pretty cool! I checked the website out that appears briefly at the end of the trailer. The following will be of interest for some:

Now I don't understand a word of Czech, but the site looks like it's worth a look around.

Dearie, dearie me...Talk about getting the wrong end of the stick !
A confused and deranged Phil was expecting to see a film taken in 1866  ......Though part of Mr Brain was saying "No...It can't be....There weren't 'cine' cameras THAT far back, surely."
I'll go back to sleep !

Looks rather good though !

Cheers - Mr Muppet.

Another little clip of re-inactors by the look of it.

For Techno, this is a MODERN film , not from the actual battle

Yes...Yes....I know that now !!   

Blame the dogs for getting me up at 4:30 this morning......And then me not being able to get back to sleep.
(Waiting downstairs until the sods decided to come back...... )
Cheers - Mr Sleepy.

While a film, series would be great, I am not greedy. Just something ala Shiloh: Fiery Trail, or Antietam with James Earl Jones would do.

Well that was a fascinating find. Nice to see some Austrian troops in forage caps. Some of the Austrian artillery pieces looked smaller than expected.

[Steve J]

Shame they don't have an English translation 'button' that many sites seem to have these days.

Re: the guns, I thought they looked tiny.

Dont forget for Phil 1866 is modern....
