"Pile them high at Austerlitz"
I read War and Peace again last year with particular attention to the peace part and the insight into Russian society.
I learned that since the last time I read the great work, the internet produced many great sites for parallel reading. The other somewhat curious fact was that there are battle reinactors that reinact these great battles.
Even more curious, The Russians seem to be into this hobby in great numbers with cavalry regiments on horses and the whole nine yards.

That's curious indeed. Who would have expected the Russians to be into enactments? Hope they reenact the Battle of Kursk......that'll be fun for any cavalry/artillery fan.
