Very nice.  It does make you wonder how the battle would have gone if Napoleon was not sick.  Ney acted the same way at Jena in 1806, rushing in to get to grips with no preparation.
Leaving it to Ney was a disaster.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Plus you can see the impact that the Prussians make on the flank.
