The Battle of Eckmühl (also known as "Eggmühl") fought on April 21 - April 22, 1809, was the turning point of the 1809 Campaign, also known as the War of the Fifth Coalition.
Napoleon Bonaparte had been unprepared for the start of hostilities on April 10, 1809, by the Austrians under the Archduke Charles of Austria and for the first time since assuming the French Imperial Crown had been forced to cede the strategic initiative to an opponent.
Thanks to the dogged defense waged by the III Corps, commanded by Marshal Davout, and the Bavarian VII Corps, commanded by Marshal Lefevbre, Napoleon was able to defeat the principal Austrian army and wrest the strategic initiative for the remainder of the war.

There we have a war, an ongoing war in Iraq, and the next phase of this war has already been announced and the next phase of this war could be as deadly as the ongoing phase of this war.
I mean down the drain, and that's a self-destructive statement because it presents war as a peacekeeping operation and it presents nuclear weapons as some kind of harmless toy and military analysts are fully aware of the implications.

 Napoleon I of France - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The War of the Sixth Coalition (the Battle of Nations, the Invasion of France)
Napoleon was determined not to lose hold of Germany and there was a lull in fighting over the winter of 1812–13 whilst both the Russians and the French recovered from their massive losses of around half a million soldiers each.
Furthermore, the Napoleonic Wars also exported the Revolution to the rest of Europe, and it is believed that the movements of national unification and the rise of the nation state, notably in Italy and Germany, were rooted in and precipitated—if not caused—by the Napoleonic rule of those areas.

 No-War Coalition at GC
The whole language of a war on terrorism is a pernicious cloak, deploying all the liberal tropes of a beneficent global universalism, to hide the narrow self-interest of a transnational ruling class which has its command center in the United States (Sklair, 2000).
Had this been a war on terrorism it would presumably have targeted the Colombian military who are fighting a vicious war of state-sponsored terror against leftist rebels under the guise of a war on drugs.
If we accept that the new war is not a war on terrorism but a war to establish the endgame of globalization, then the folly of trying to keep an anti-war movement separate from an anti-globalization movement should be clear.

 CNN.com - Bush works phones to build coalition - September 15, 2001
Earlier Saturday, Bush asked the nation to prepare for a state of war, urging Americans to be ready for possible changes in their daily lives and expressing an even greater desire to snuff out terror organizations at their perceived source.
Bush said the public and the military should be aware that the nation faces a new kind of war, which he described in his earlier meetings with Cabinet and security officials as a struggle against barbarians.
Bush's turn of phrase sharpened the tone of the administration's rhetoric significantly -- even as several sectors of the executive branch, including the Department of Defense and the State Department, warned through the later part of the week that this assault on the continental United States would be met with a swift and crushing response.

Once established, a coalition normally requires coordination of effort to achieve common political, economic, and social objectives; agreed strategic plans to achieve military objectives; and, of course, unity of command.
In any future coalition undertaking, such personnel must not only be available but must be among the first ones deployed.[49] In most cases, it will be these personnel who initially educate their fellow nationals to cultural differences as the first step toward displaying the proper sensitivities.

The Fifth Frontier War is a boxed boardgame designed to simulate the course of the latest frontier war between the Outworld Coalition and the Imperium.
Using these tables, it is possible to extend a 5FW-like war over multiple sectors (I hesitate to say the entire Imperium unless, as a TML member suggested, counters are re-defined to represent fleets instead of squadrons).
Also note that Fifth Frontier War "ignores the troops of any world with with a technological level of less than 5 because such troops would have little influence on a war of interstellar proportions", and they are only included on the table for completeness.
