Five Favorite Napoleonic Battles (1 Viewer)

[Spitfrnd]

Touche. Of course, there aren't many battles that didn't involve the French while there are well over a hundred that didn't involve the British!!! As for my bias towards Napoleon, well, correct me I'm wrong but everyone else's list had Napoleon and the French in every battle they listed with extremely few exceptions!

As for expanding horizons, I guess at some point we'll have to meet in the middle!!!! Strangely enough, my partner just mentioned the other day out of nowhere that he wanted to add Spanish troops to the mix and look towards the Peninsula. Can't say when at this point (realistically, not for a LONG time), but somehow it blipped onto the radar. Hopefully I can talk him out of it! (JOKING - ).

Ah now your partner has taste. That is wonderful news and the middle is a fine place to be on this matter. Of course for Spanish you can just about fashion any uniform you can think of since they were quite varied as I understand it over the course of surviving as the army of an occupied country. Please don't forget the Portuguese who seem to have had much to do with many of Wellington's triumphs. But I am sure you will work that out as you get to the Peninsula.

As for the Portuguese, in Ledru's division of Ney's III Corps at Borodino served the 1st Portuguese Line Infantry Regiment......who knows, you may get some after all!
