I really liked that You Tube clip. What movie is that from? Anyone know?

Also, did you read the comments about that clip? F'n hilarious!

CHeers!

The clip is from a romanian TV movie about the war of independence (as the RTW is known to the romanians), made sometime in the early 80s I believe. Until 1877 Romania, although having it's own prince (from 1859, from the Hohenzollern family - he became king after this war) and a high degree of liberty within the Ottoman Empire, it didn't have it's own foreign policy, as this was done by Istambul.

Regarding the comments made about the local history, this shouln't be the first time you meet throlls on the web, right?

Radu,
Thanks for the info. I wish that movie was available on dvd.

As for the comments
I thought they were really entertaining and would venture to call no one a
troll (as I believe in free speech).

Romanian history is very interesting and I hope the 1877 line does well.

Cheers!

I think the clip is from the Roumanian movie:

Pentru Patrie

I got it from a Canadian seller who sold a lot of Roumanian historical movies. Great battlescenes.

True you can paint Roumanian infantry from Russian or even ACW figures in frockcoat and the light infantry from Bersaglieri. But I would be glad to have some more in Strelets style. Dorobanti and cavalry of course too!

cheers
