[off topic?]

Back in the day, the soviet Red Army trained 16,000 troops in authentic Napoleonic Era cavalry, infantry, and artillery tactics for a movie version of 'War And Peace.'

Hollywood hired those guys to make "Waterloo" They got actual historians together and recreated every aspect of the battle site as well as they could, including building a three mile long road.
