  Nicolas Chauvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1790) was a semi-mythical soldier and patriot who served in the First Army of the French Republic and subsequently in La Grande Armee of Napoleon Bonaparte.
He was made a mockery of in several plays which were produced for the original Vaudeville, including La Cocarde Tricolore (1831).
Through the plays in which Chauvin was made a character, the term "chauvinism" was coined as a term for excessive nationalistic fervor.

 La Defense, Paris
Thus La Défense is mainly a business district, though it also has housing for over 20,000 people, with a large shopping center (4 Temps) and numerous restaurants, cafes, cinemas, sports clubs and other leisure facilities.
In the 30 years since it was established La Défense has become a show-place of contemporary architecture, with the more recent tower blocks showing greater freedom of form than the less imaginative buildings of the 60s.
In order to strengthen the residential function of the La Défense district, however, the plan for the area to the west of the Grande Arche provides for a maximum of 600,000sq.m/720,000sq.yd of office space but twice that amount of housing accommodation.

In 1806 Napoleon Bonaparte launched his Grande Armee at a Prussia clamouring for war against the French emperor.
Another aspect I really liked about The Campaigns of La Grande Armee: 1806 is the importance of fatigue upon troops and if you march your men hard then you will lose an increasing number of them as stragglers.
I can heartily recommend The Campaigns of La Grande Armee: 1806 to gamers who want to really test their mettle as a true commander of Napoleonic Era armies.

More substance than style on the first glance than the Strategy First game, La Grande Armee at Austerlitz can best be described as a solid combination of a classic military board game blended with a miniatures campaign.
Players will have the opportunity to recreate Napoleon's greatest triumph and lead the Grande Armee to victory, or even as the Allies in their bid to stop the French Emperor.
These aspects of La Grand Armee at Austerlitz are a war gamers' dream, but all of this, unfortunately, won't mean much to the novice or causal gamer.

 Trafalgar synopsis Broers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Battle of Trafalgar is the culmination, the crucial if hardly the final blow, in the seemingly endless conflict between Britain and France to control the Atlantic world, that Atlantic World which the great French historian of the Annales school, Fernand Braudel called ‘the crossroads of the future’.
This defeat led to a volte face in his policies of the first order, which saw Napoleon abandon French overseas and maritime ambitions, and to turn France firmly towards the continent of Europe, ultimately replacing the maritime war with the Continental System, made possible by military conquest.
France henceforth, turned all her efforts towards continental domination, and in the Grand Armée, forged ironically for the purpose of a water borne invasion of Britain, Napoleon had the wherewithal to do so.

 GameSpy.com - Review
In addition to joking that one of the 19th century's greatest military geniuses is remembered in song for his greatest defeat rather than victory, I also noted that this loss has been re-created more often in game form.
The only downside is that the tutorials, which probably aren't as necessary to play as they might have been in La Grande Armee, are downright dull.
This game clearly outshines La Grande Armee when it comes to visuals, as well as virtually all of the previous Talonsoft Battleground titles from this era.

"Napoleon, the august Emperor, has consecrated this pillar to the honour of the grand army: a monument composed of brass, conquered from the enemy during the war in Germany, in 1805; a war which, under his command, was terminated in the space of three months."
On the left, is seen Virtue and Merit in the act of being rewarded, and a dragoon receives the cross of the Legion of Honour from the hands of Napoleon: then appears the representation of the different battles.
These bas reliefs are divided into compartments, about three feet in length, by three feet eight in breadth, a cordon or spiral garter runs between each of the bas reliefs, and bears the inscription of the action they represent.
