Napoleon's primary strength was in his ability to have his army arrive at the battlefield before his opponent. He was more aggressive and ruthless in battle than the people at the time were used to as well.

>>2272234
so he was sort of like Genghis Khan in terms of ruthlessness?

He was a good general, but not an adaptive general.

Napoleon's grand niche was field battles, he would amass large armies, invade to draw the enemy into the field to respond to his armies, crush them in one very decisive blow, and force surrender.

Once the coalitions caught on to this standard strategy, they changed tactics as to deny Napoleon his chance to earn that grand victory. Case and point was Alexander I's handling of Borodino. They battle was hard fought and the French took the field, but the Russian army fell back and still remained a standing fighting force, instead of breaking and allowing themselves to be broken like in Austerlitz and other battles before.

After that it was a game of attrition, make Napoleon's armies stay on the march and exhausted until the coalition could pick the time and place to strike, which happened at Leipzig.

In my opinion energized is the better word. He faced aging generals and he was young compared to them with fresh ideas that was contrary to their ideas of making war.

thats not wellington or montgomery

Pure bullshit there senpai
Borodino wasn't a carefully throught ruse, it was a desperatve action and the successful escape of the Russian army was more of a miracle than anything else

The Coalitions didnt adopt some ebin strategy of avoiding battle like youi're claiming
In the sixth coalition war, they kept giving Napoleon major pitched battles, but this time the numerical disparity between both sides was so important even Napoleon's genius couldnt compensate (Napoleon had already been slightly outnumbered in most of his victory, but not that harshly)

Napoleon still managed to pull impressive victory despite the numbers (Battle of Hanau, Battle of Dresden, Battle of La Rothiere, Battle of Vauchamps, Six Days Campaign...etc) but the scale of the numerical disparity meant he couldnt make them decisive

How long did soldiers in the Grande Armee usually serve for? Were they restricted by a maximum service time?
