We continue to explore the true size of armies in Warhammer 40,000. This particular episode focuses on a Cadian Line Infantry Regiment. But to preface this subject we first explore the role of Regiments in the broader Imperial Guard and the myriad forms they can take. We then choose the Cadians as the prime example of the Imperium's finest source of Regiments. Time is spent reviewing the history of Cadia and its martial characteristics. The Cadian armed forces are described from the Planetary Defense Forces of its Interior Guard to its Shock Trooper and Elite Kaskrin Units which are recruited for service across the Imperium. Several high level examples of their organization is presented. Finally we then review an indicative model of a Cadian Infantry Regiment in 3D from ground up.

At the front line of this service were the Capsarii, or Combat Medics whose job it was to provide immediate care to the injured. Soldiers requiring additional care would then be evacuated to the nearest hospital for specialized care by doctors and surgeons.

We begin with a brief introduction to the Roman Limes which was composed of a network of forts, walls, and outposts. These allowed the Roman army to effectively control hundreds of miles with just a few men. But the key to this system was information with which to properly react to events along the frontier. Thus a vast series of small forts and watchtowers was established. This episode focuses on what the experience of ancient daily life in a Roman fort on the Germanic Limes. Stay tuned for more episodes of Live History which will cover other aspects of daily life in the past though reenactment footage and on location aerial shots.

Description: Why Hollywood fails when it comes to massive armies? Go to https://buyraycon.com/invicta to get up to 30% off sitewide! Brought to you by Raycon. In this video we examine the way in which traditional media depicts massive armies. More often than not this boils down to just filling the screen with CGI armies that stretch out onto the horizon. This is totally inaccurate. But even more troubling is the fact that even history media fails to properly capture the scale of ancient battles. To solve this problem we now turn to historians, reenactors, and Unreal Engine 5. The video begins with Dr. Roel Konijnendijk reviewing media depictions of ancient armies. We then pivot into Unreal Engine to show simulations of the points being made which are further reinforced by practical examples from reenactors from The Greek Phalanx (https://www.thegreekphalanx.org/). Media which was reviewed but which falls under fair use commentary includes: Kingdom of Heaven, Troy, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Witcher, and 300 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 02:21 Historian Reacts 05:49 Unreal Simulation 07:11 Troop File 09:53 Deployment 13:34 Depth vs Width 19:58 Historical Formations 25:00 Outro #reaction #history #documentary </video> <video> Could You Reach the Gods? - Climbing Mt. Olympus in Ancient Greece Description: A historical exploration of if the Ancient Greeks believed you could reach the Gods on Mt. Olympus. Check out the Invicta store: https://invicta-history-shop.fourthwall.com Greek history is filled with stories from mythology of the Greek gods, who reigned from atop Mount Olympus, descending from the mountain to meddle in the affairs of mortals. But did this work the other way? In this history video we dive into the question of whether the ancient Greeks believed they could reach the gods on Mount Olympus. We begin with a discussion of the Greek religious worldview. We then look at the stories they told of Mount Olympus and how figures from mythology climbed its heights. We then look at the realities of the Greeks themselves climbing the mountain.

Get your own custom maps of Middle Earth on our store: https://invicta-history-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/all In this episode we delve into the history of Middle Earth with a focus on the Rohirrim. Our story begins in the early Third Age with the middle men who inhabited the north eastern region of Rhovanion. From them would emerge a series of powerful princes who united the realm. In this way they were able to fight back against the encroaching easterlings and form alliances with the southern relam of Gondor. However following the Great Plague and a new wave of invasions, the people of Rhovanion would flee to the Vales of Anduin. Here they would become the Eotheod. In time they would rebuild their strength, once more returning to fight by the side of Gondor against threats such as the Necomancer of Dol Guldor and the Witchking of Angmar. However it would be their heroic rescue at the Field of Celebrant which led the Steward Cirion to swear Eorl into an oath of loyalty and to invite his people to move to the region of Calenardhon. It would finally this land which would come to be known as Rohan. We cover the equipment, training, and organzation of these Riders of Rohan. And finally we cover the history of Rohan through to the Fourth Age. This includes the War of the Rohirrim against the Dunlendings and the War of the Ring against Isengard and Mordor.

While prior episodes focused on the Marines themselves, in this video we turn to their primary transport vehicle, the Thunderhawk. We begin with a review of the history of Space Marine dropships. In the years of the Great Crusade this included such vehicles as the mighty Stormbird which was capable of carrying hundreds of troops at a time. However the breakup of the Space Marine Legions and a need for more tactical deployments eventually led to a shift towards the Thunderhawk. It struck the right balance in terms of combat strength, cargo capacity, and perhaps most important, cost. We then go over the full details of a Thunderhawk. This includes its propulsion systems, navigation, weapons, interior facilities, and crew. Finally we then detail the operational uses of the Thunderhawk for both orbital insertion and void combat.
