Poll Winners & Compilations Update
🕑 Added 2021-06-29 15:00:07 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
Thank you to everyone who got involved with our two recent polls, which delivered two emphatic winners - 1848: Year of Revolutions, and Belisarius. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into both, alongside ongoing production of our HMS Victory and Salamis videos.
(NB many of the poll losers will appear again as future options, and a couple will be subject to executive 'green light' decisions!)
In other news, I've put together some compilation videos (not charged to patrons). They'll be released on YouTube over the next few weeks, but for the next few days, they're available exclusively and completely ad-free to Patreon viewers:
- World War One (ALL PARTS) (2021 Re-edit) A 2016 release that YouTube demonetized and age-restricted a few years ago, for no clear reason. Hopefully this re-edit will keep it available to all ages, so it can be the educational resource it was intended to be.
- The Napoleonic Wars (PARTS 7-15) The longest Napoleon video on YouTube?! The aftermath of Wagram to the Fontainebleau abdication in 3 hours 24 minutes.
- Apollo Program (ALL PARTS) James Malcolm's brilliantly researched and visualised Apollo series.
More updates in due course, and thank you all for your amazing support!

Thanks Adam, great to have your support! We'll have more votes coming up in the future, and I'm sure there'll be some WW2 at some point..
That World War I timeline you did was such a great video I had to become a supporter. I hope to see more from WWI and WWII would also be great. You have fantastic content regardless of the topic. Cheers.

Thanks Astrá. It was always going to be a slightly awkward fit, with a bit of jumping around the timeline. It's a fair argument, but I decided that 'Road to Leipzig', which begins with so much information about the aftermath of Russia, had to come before a high summer campaign in Spain.
Hey Toby, just a small nitpick.... but in that Napoleon Wars (Parts 7-15) video, I sorta felt that the Vitoria segment should had been before the "Road to Leipzig" segment. This is because during the "Road to Leipzig" portion, Wellington's army is already being displayed right at the Southern France border, and Napoleon's army converging on Leipzig. As if the Battle of Vitoria had already finished. Then upon transitioning from the "Road to Leipzig" portion to Vitoria , Napoleon's army is shown marching from France to Germany, instead of already clustering around Leipzig like at the end of the "Road to Leipzig" portion. So yea I felt that the Vitoria portion should had come just before the "Road to Leipzig" video segment, rather than after it. Just a nitpick haha. Thank you so much for your work once again!
