  Napoleonic Campaigns - LoveToKnow 1911
Napoleon's short Spanish Campaign of 1809 is dealt with under Peninsular War (this article covering the campaigns in Spain, Portugal and southern France 1808-1814), and for the final drama of Waterloo the reader is referred to Waterloo Campaign.
Napoleon's determination to undertake the invasion of England has often been disputed, but it is hard to imagine what other operation he contemplated, for the outbreak of hostilities with his continental enemies found him ill-supplied with intelligence as to the resources of the country he had then to traverse.
Napoleon, however, failed to allow for the psychology of his opponents, who, utterly indifferent to the sacrifice of life, refused to be drawn into engagements to support an advance or to extricate a rearguard, and steadily withdrew from every position when the French gained touch with them.

Thus, during the whole of the campaign of the Netherlands in 1 793 the Austrians paid hire to the owners of the fields in which they camped; and when on one occasion payment for lodgings hired for the wounded was in arrear, the wretched men were flung out on the streets.
That after the event Napoleon should have sought to justify himself is further proof of the essential duality of his nature, which only rose to intuitive genius in war under the pressure of visible and tangible realities.
The campaigns of 1866 in Bohemia, and of 1870 in France, furnish positive proof that Clausewitz had not appreciated the Napoleonic teaching to its full extent, for though the conditions again and again were ideal for its application, no trace of his fundamental principle is distinguishable in Moltke's orders.

 Royal Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Impressment reached its peak in the 18th and early 19th century but was abandoned after the end of the Napoleonic Wars as the peacetime navy was smaller.
The Royal Navy also participated in the Gulf War, the Kosovo conflict, the Afghanistan Campaign, and the 2003 Iraq War, the last of which saw RN warships bombard positions in support of the Al Faw Peninsula landings by Royal Marines.
The Napoleonic campaigns of the navy have been the subject of many novels including Patrick O'Brian's series featuring Jack Aubrey, C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower, and Alexander Kent's Richard Bolitho.

 Louis Nicolas Davout - LoveToKnow Watches   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
On his return he took part in the campaign of Marengo under Napoleon, who placed the greatest confidence in his abilities, made him a general of division soon after Marengo, and in 1801 gave him a command in the consular guard.
Napoleon left him as governor-general in the grand-duchy of Warsaw when the treaty of Tilsit put an end to the war (1807), and in 1808 created him duke of Auerstadt.
It was Davout who was entrusted by Napoleon with the task of organizing the " corps of observation of the Elbe," which was in reality the gigantic army with which the emperor invaded Russia in 1812.

 NapoleonGames.com: Games by Operational Studies Group.
The goal of operations in the Napoleonic era was to achieve a preponderance of force on the chosen battlefield and to insure the battle occurred most advantageously.
Napoleon was predominantly the master of the operational art, and it was at this level that most of his victories were ensured.
One of the reasons why the Napoleon at Bay series of games is all alone in the portrayal of Napoleonic operational warfare is that these games are able to successfully model a war that didn't have continuous front lines.

 Napoleonic Maps
In many cases it is hard to determine the exact latitude and longitude of a Revolutionary or Napoleonic battle.
Also note that terrain and man made features may have changed in the last 200 years, but you should still be able to recognize the terrain of a battlefield on most battles if you zoom in.
For instance, if you zoom in on Lodi, you will see a bridge over the River Adda, or if you zoom in on Friedland, you will notice that the terrain and course of the river almost exactly matches the map of Friedland in Chandler's Campaigns of Napoleon.
