Epic Battle Of Marathon Total War Recreation

On October 25th, 606 years to the day since it took place, we’ve recreated the Battle of Agincourt using the Total War video game series. For this battle we’ve used the Medieval Kingdoms 1212AD mod for the game Total War: Attila. History Hit presenters Louee Dessent and Luke Tomes take you through the strategy and tactics of the two generals on the day in 1415, King Henry V of England and the Constable of France, Charles D’Albret. They’ll take you through the background to the battle, the composition of the armies and the key moments that decided the day. Did the English archers with their deadly longbows prove decisive? And how were some of the finest medieval knights of their day bested in hand-to-hand combat? Watch to find out. This is the second episode of our brand new Battlefield Replays series where we’ll use gaming footage to recreate some of the best known battles in history.

Winston Churchill, wartime Prime Minister of Great Britain and its empire during the Second World War, is one of the most recognisable figures of world history. The man dominated Whitehall and Westminster, but many of his most vital decisions during the war years were taken away from the public eye. Not in Parliament, nor in Downing Street. But underground - in the Cabinet War Rooms. To this day, they are beautifully preserved, famously portrayed in the award winning film 'Darkest Hour.' Dan Snow pays a visit to the Churchill War Rooms, walking in the footsteps of the great man and his many associates during the Second World War.
