Thanks for the info I doubt we would ever agree on anything regarding Napoleon i doubt in all your posting you have had a positve word for him. Was Dupont such an innocent did he actually care about his men what was his attitude to his former comrades when he was employed by the kIng in 1814 and after the hundred days campaign.As to Moreau he deserved what he got a jealous wife who he could not refuse.Commanders can and do lose campaigns the Generals they put their trust in cant.
