  This is the best line ever - <br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0zRU35sovQ&amp;t=1916">31:56</a> &quot; He was the last figure in history to combine total political power with frontline, military genius - in the mould of Alexander, and Caeser&quot;

  Outnumbered 4-1, deserted by essentially all his allies, hugely lacking in cavalry, most of his infantry are just learning how to hold a gun and at points he had to command whilst also manning the artillery.<br><br>The fact that Napoleon made this into any campaign at all is astonishing. The fact he actually scored a series of victories is just ridiculous.

  300 000 against 70000.<br>He is not 3 times faster but 6.<br>He doesn&apos;t kill 2for1 but 4for1<br>Enemies are more than 4 times his size, and they flee because they know he is in charge.<br><br>If i read a novel with this kind of character, i would be chastising the writer for his lack of nuance. <br>One of the few country elite that deserved such title.

  Napoleon&apos;s victories during The Six Day Campaign are probably the greatest examples of &quot;defeat in detail&quot; in military history. Absolutely genius.

  Napoleon&apos;s counter attack against ungodly odds is some thing to be admire.

  Seeing Napoleon’s banner fall at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0zRU35sovQ&amp;t=1793">29:53</a> was surprisingly emotional - having watched this series religiously since Austerlitz that banner has always been there...
