Collections: Nitpicking Gladiator’s Iconic Opening Battle, Part II

This week we're continuing our three-part (I) look at one of film's most famous Roman battle sequences, the iconic opening battle from Gladiator (2000). I had planned this to be in two parts, but even though this sequence is relatively short, it provides an awful lot to talk about. As noted last week, this iconic…Read Article

Collections: Nitpicking Gladiator’s Iconic Opening Battle, Part I

This week, we're going to take a close look at arguably the most famous and recognizable Roman battle sequence in film: the iconic opening battle from Gladiator (2000). Despite being a relatively short sequence (about ten minutes), there's actually enough to talk about here that we're going to split it over two weeks, talking about…Read Article

Collections: The Logistics of Road War in the Wasteland

This week, we're doing another 'silly' topic, but this being me, it is a silly logistics topic, because - as the saying goes - amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics. So we're going to be professionally silly this week and talk about the logistics of vehicle warfare in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting, in part because…Read Article

Collections: Alexander Goes West (A Silly Counterfactual)

This week we're going to do something a bit silly, in part because I have to prepare for and travel to an invited workshop/talk event later this week and so don't have quite the time for a more normal 'full' post and in part because it is fun to be silly sometimes (and we might…Italy · Italy Read Article

Fireside Friday, May 9, 2025 (On Lighter Bows)

Fireside this week! First off, it seems like last week’s post on the Hollywood myth of archery volley fire really got out there, so if you are a new reader just joining us, welcome! If you are in to discussions of historical tactics with an eye towards correcting common myths in games and film, you might consider also reading the three(ish)-part series on “Total Generalship” (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IIIc), which discussed how pre-modern generals coul…Read Article

Collections: Why Archers Didn’t Volley Fire

This week we’re looking at a specific visual motif common in TV and film: the arrow volley. You know the scene: the general readies his archers, he orders them to ‘draw!’ and then holds up his hand with that ‘wait for it’ gesture and then shouts ‘loose!’ (or worse yet, ‘fire!’) and all of the archers release at once, producing a giant cloud of arrows. And then those arrows hit the enemy, with whole ranks collapsing and wounded soldiers falling o…Read Article

Collections: Why Celebrimbor Fell but Boromir Conquered: the Moral Universe of Tolkien

This week (and probably next) I want to talk a bit more Tolkien, but in a somewhat different vein from normal. Rather than discussing the historicity of Tolkien's world or adaptations of it, I want to take a moment to discuss some of the themes of Tolkien's work, which express themselves in the metaphysical architecture…Read Article

Collections: The Siege of Eregion, Part V: What Tactics?

This is the final part of our five part (I, II, III, IV) series on the Siege of Eregion in Amazon's Rings of Power. Last time, we looked at the orc siege and marveled at both their lack of works and also their nonsensical siege engines, concluding that Adar had launched a siege assault which…Amazon Read Article

Collections: The Siege of Eregion, Part IV: What Siege Equipment?

This is the fourth part of our [five? -ish? I, II, III] part series on the Siege of Eregion in Amazon's Rings of Power. Last week, we took the opportunity presented by Adar's absurd plan to dam a river using catapults to collapse a mountain to discuss the capabilities and functioning principles of historical counterweight…Amazon Read Article
