… of Napoleon's 1809 War With Austria

" Despite innumerable books, chapters and articles written about the period, there still remains so much to explore. This includes not only activities involving the emperor's many subordinates, but even entire battles in which Napoleon himself was involved.

One would need to get more info on ORBATs but looks like this could be a good action for a wargame.

A good introductory article, I thought, with a bit of detail as well as a broad picture, but what I'm particularly grateful for is the inclusion of a few pictures I've not seen before.
The portrait looks as if it's been enhanced by modern computer methods (recent thread with the J-L David 1812 made "photographic"), but that just proves the skill of the artist. Good Luck!

Gill's new book is a great conclusion to his three part series on 1809. As I said in another post, I would buy books on every battle during the campaign from Gill if treated just like the Battle of Znaim book. Here is a painted picture of attack by the Austrian Grenadiers on the bridge over the Thaya. General Destabenrath is in the process of being temporarily captured.

Also a more indepth article about the painting. link

Glad you enjoyed it boys!. (smile)

Thanks Mike!…
