Gaining experience under the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular War and forged into a disciplined, honed weapon of war, they advanced to become a very prominent force in the Napoleonic Wars. The redcoats, as they were called, principally employed tactics such as disciplined platoon fire and (sometimes) bayonet charges and saw much success through these methods. These foot soldiers were typically equipped with the Tower pattern musket, or 'Brown Bess', whose individual inaccuracy was compensated for by the technique of mass firing by platoons.
