Join us as Kevin Hicks delves once more in to the Hundred Years War, this time with the Siege of Harfleur, 1415. It marked a significant chapter in the campaign of King Henry V of England to reclaim territories in France. Discover the siege tactics employed by Henry V's army, including the use of innovative siege engines and relentless bombardment, which gradually wore down the defenses of Harfleur. Despite facing fierce resistance from the French defenders, who held out for over a month, the English ultimately prevailed.

Can we pause to appreciate the detail in painting models that are 1:72 scale every one individual painted. Well done that man

"I've made a model" definitely Kevs catchphrase :D Somebody said before he should do a t-shirt or mug with it on, be a genuine money maker if he wanted to

I suggested the shirt a week or so ago, don't know if I was the first. But buy one I would. I also build 1/72 but aircraft, his skills are exceptional.

I was just about to comment on how marvelous Kevin's models are. I am blown away at not only the colors, but how the figures are positioned: bowmen about to launch their arrows, figures in the act of running with arms raised while hoisting their swords. These models recreating battles or camps along with Kevin's commentary really make his videos come alive and are much more apt to hold my attention than a documentary using paintings or crude illustrations from the time with a droning voice. 👏

@zelosmiman5533 5 месяцев назад

How is it possible that you, and perhaps a small team of yours are capable of producing better historical documentaries than whatever the flip the TV history channels are producing nowadays. I would even say that your models along with your captivating commentary help me visualise the history better than many historical docuseries with enermous funding and alot of actors. Cheers and best of luck to you from Czech Republic.

I love these models and how they show what they scene looked like. I can't imagine what the actual event was like to participate in. The sight, sounds, and even the smells of the lines and camps. Marching on a castle must've been one hell of a sight. Even the logistics had to have had a lot of thought put into it. History is so amazing.

We hear a lot about Agincourt, but little about the rest of the campaign. Thank you for filling in this detail, I did not realize the importance of the time it took to capture Harfleur.

@davesheppard8797 5 месяцев назад

Juliet Barker has done a book "Agincourt", The king, The Campaign, The Battle. Which is written in great detail from the planning stage to the Battle. I personally found far too much detail in the run up to the Battle but very little on the Battle of Agincourt itself, which was what I was really looking forward to. Kevin's short and concise episode gave us everything we needed to know without bogging us down with unnecessary facts. Dave.

@rebelchaplain1 I will always remember his famous valley campaign. A masterpiece in using defeat by detail to smash the pieces of a numerically superior army by always choosing when and where both of you always fight. Move swiftly, engage the enemy where he is weak, and if you cannot win then you must divide his forces.

@rebelchaplain1 5 месяцев назад

@@justinfrazier9555 Are you referring to Stonewall Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign?

@davesheppard8797 5 месяцев назад

Well, In Kev's own words...."It's like diorreah, but it's thicker and quicker and you can't stop it". I heard that a lot of men who managed to fight with Dysentery at Agincourt just undid the flaps on the backs of their leggings/ medieval trousers and just let it happen!! Must have been pretty awful!! 🤢🤢🤢. Dave.

Finally got home to watch Kev!! Fantastic models and really well told. You packed in so much and kept it really interesting. Some books/accounts bombard you with names of so many people that it is difficult to follow the train of the story. No deviation here and all the names we needed. The French did really well to hold out for so long which sort of put a spanner in Henry's works. The whole campaign was so huge that Henry probably thought he had to press on to make all the enormous preparations worth while! Obviously we know he got away with it in the end but it took a heavy toll!! Can't wait for the next part!! But simply a superb episode Kev!! Top notch!! Dave.

@thehistorysquad 5 месяцев назад

Great, glad you enjoyed it Dave - If Henry had gone home early, he also would have had to face his creditors, which wouldn't have gone well.
