| | Napoleon's Prussian Campaign of 1806 : Winter War |
 | | He had much territory to occupy, and in the long march of on an average 85 days, he considered that they could be organized, equipped and drilled en route. |
 | | The idea had been to induce the Russians to concentrate about Pultusk and, turning their position from its left, ultimately to cut them off from Russia, and if possible to surround them. |
