~~Video Description~~

This is a silly video. A very silly video indeed. But hey, St George's Day was a few days ago, so why not? How could a Napoleonic era military compete against a fantasy-inspired giant fire breathing lizard? In this video I detail how I think they could do it- and hopefully manage to talk about a few real-life elements of Napoleonic Warfare along the way!
