	Jean Lannes - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		He commanded the advanced guard in the crossing of the Alps in 1800, was instrumental in winning the battle of Montebello, from which he afterwards took his title, and bore the brunt of the battle of Marengo.
		In the 1806-07 campaign he was at his best, commanding his corps with the greatest credit in the march through the Thuringian Forest, the action of Saalfeld (which is studied as a model to-day at the French Staff College) and the battle of Jena.
		He was one of the few men for whom the emperor felt a real and deep affection, and at this their last meeting Napoleon gave way to a passionate burst of grief, even in the midst of the battle.

	Amazon.de: Rezensionen zu The Battle: English Books: Patrick Rambaud,Will Hobson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Battle of Essling was a particularly bloody and brutal affair for such a short battle, however I felt the actual battle sequence was lacking emotion and detail.
		As a novel, however, The Battle is certainly not War and Peace-or even Cold Mountain-its claim to being a novel resting primarily in the fact that the author recreates not only the battle, but the (invented) conversations and thoughts of the participants.
		It's true the battle was for just under 2 days, the events and those involved were in the tens of thousands, and an Author less in command of his subject and its expression could have droned on.

	The History of the Thirty Years War - Book V
		Battles, though less decisive, became more obstinate and bloody; greater achievements, both in bravery and military skill, were performed; but they were but insulated efforts; and being neither dictated by any consistent plan, nor improved by any commanding spirit, had comparatively little influence upon the course of the war.
		Nearly 80,000 men fell in the numerous battles which he fought, and about 600 hostile standards and colours, which he sent to Stockholm, were the trophies of his victories.
		The city was obliged to clothe the Swedish troops anew, and to purchase an exemption from plunder, by a contribution of 300,000 rix-dollars, to which all the foreign merchants, who had warehouses in the city, were to furnish their quota.

		L’Aigle Wargames Club is a club aimed at bringing new enthusiasm to the period of Napoleonic wargaming and that of the century of horse and musket warfare before it.
		To that end, we have written a new set of rules for the Napoleonic period, with army lists, and actively research and play those battles of 200 years ago, more exciting perhaps because we are moving through their anniversaries.
		The battle of Maida is often quoted as a classic example of how the British line overthrew the French column.

	Napoleon I
		This fervor began with the battle of the Bridge of Lodi, where the veterans of the army nicknamed him, "the Little Corporal." It was here, too, according to Napoleon's own statement, that he first felt the spark of great ambition glowing within him.
		Within the space of one month the young general had fought three great battles, had killed, wounded, or captured 25,000 men, and taken 8o guns and 21 standards, and that with an army inferior in numbers and equipment as compared with the enemy.
		The concluding and decisive battle of the campaign was, how-ever, won on December 3d by Moreau, who signally defeated 70,000 Austrians under Archduke Charles, and placed the Austrian capital at the mercy of the French.

	The Prussian-Saxon Army at Jena: 14 October 1806
		Napoleon’s 1806 Prussian Campaign was decided on 14 October with the defeat of the Allied field armies at the Battles of Jena and Auerstadt.
		At Jena, the odds were reversed: Napoleon used his increasing numerical-superiority (initially 46,000 men; increasing to 96,000 men) to crush both the Prussian-Saxon allied army under the command of General der Infanterie Friedrich-Ludwig, Erbprinz zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen and a hastily-summoned Prussian corps under the command of Generalleutnant Ernst-Friedrich-Wilhelm-Philipp von Ruchel.
		Previous re-organization after the defeats of Generalmajor von Tauentzein at the Engagement of Schliez (8 October) and Generalleutnant Louis-Ferdinand, Prinz von Prussen at the Battle of Saalfeld (10 October) adds to the historical uncertainty.

	Friedrich Schiller: The History of the Thirty Years' War (Book V)
		Ferdinand depended upon his cavalry, which outnumbered that of the enemy by 3000, and upon the promise of the Virgin Mary, who had appeared to him in a dream, and given him the strongest assurances of a complete victory.
		Both armies were now in sight of each other; and a decisive battle was momentarily expected, as both were suffering from want, and the two camps were only separated from each other by the space of the entrenchments.
		But the Imperialists, although superior in numbers, contented themselves with keeping close to the enemy, and harassing them by skirmishes, by fatiguing marches and famine, until the negociations which had been opened with Bavaria were brought to a bearing.

		On the day following the action of Saalfeld, among the fugitives sent to Jena to reorganize, the cry went up, "the French are in the town." This stirred a panic which first spread through the streets of Jena, within twenty-four hours paralyzing the whole army.
		At the Battles of Jena and Auerstädt, the Prussian Army was effectively destroyed.

		Balzac's plan was to deliver the battle raw, minimizing Napoleon's direct role, but Rambaud shows quite a bit of the Corsican, as well as of his marshals Lannes and Massena.
		Rambaud is less able to avoid historical novel cliches: his Vienna seems plucked from an operetta, while his Napoleon is not fully drawn but characterized mainly by his tics, a lapse at odds with the colorful, ambitious scenes of combat.
		An unflinching account of a historically and militarily significant battle that introduced the modern concept of wholesale carnage into the combat arena.

		Hitler's battle for Stalingrad and Moscow still lay ahead, but the capture of Mariupol, at the sea's edge, signaled the beginning of the end of Russia-as least as far as Hitler's propaganda machine was concerned.
		The Battle of Passchendaele, otherwise known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the major battles of World War I, fought by British, ANZAC, and Canadian soldiers against the German army near Ypres (Ieper in Flemish) in West Flanders, southwestern Belgium over the control of the village of Passchendaele.

		The battle was a disaster for the Prussians, losing one of their best commanders and suffering 900 killed.

		Thanks to his having compelled his allies to fight his battles for him, he had not as yet drawn very heavily on the fighting resources of France.
		Here, on the 20th, they were attacked, and after a two days’ battle dislodged by Napoleon; but the weakness of the French cavalry conditioned both the form of the attack, which was less effective than usual, and the results of the victory, which were extremely meager.
		All hope of saving the battle had now to be given up, but the French covered their retreat obstinately and by daybreak next morning one half of the army was already filing out along the road to Erfurt which had so fortunately been left for them.

		An all day fight near Saalfeld, and while I took some serious losses, I've pretty much shattered the Prussian armies ahead of me. The end isn't that far away.
		The Battle didn't work out really to my plans, largely being fought not too far from my initial positions, but that's part of the game, the ability to adapt to events.
		However, I let this battle get bogged down into a positional battle, and that is actually harder on the French, as one of their major assets is the ability to forage supplies in nearly every town they capture, so they can keep their momentum going.

		This letter also indicated that he was willing to accept a job offer with his old employer, as he saw only a military future on the soil of this divided nation where he was currently living.
