If I was Napoleon.... (Post Game)

Ok, lets play a little game

Basically, you all write the following:

If I was Napoleon, _______________________________ at the battle of ________.

Fill it in, the second gap is the name of a battle Napoleon fought, the first gap is what you would have done.

Here is mine.

If I was Napoleon, I would have raged quit at the battle of Waterloo.

If I was Napoleon, I would have brought along Marshal Davout and used his skills at the battle of Waterloo

If I was Napoleon, I would've of found winter quarters in a decent city or retreated to Poland after Bordino.

If I was Napoleon, ___I wouldn't have gotten so irritated and gnawed at my expensive bicorn hat___ at the battle of _______Eylau_______.

Impossible.
If I was Napoleon, I would not invade Spain and got my ass kicked.
If I was Napoleon, I would not come back from Elba.
If I was Napoleon, I would not join the military.

If I was Napoleon, I would have abandoned conquered provinces instead of annexing them and create moderate peace terms to secure french influence and hegemony over continental europe at the battle of DIPLOMACY.

Why searching a hopeless heroic last stand (with an devasted and crushed army/country) when I have my own little island to live comfortable.
What had he expected to gain from a victory at Waterloo? That the Brits beg for peace instead of marching with superior allied forces on Paris again.

Man, you are you, you are not soldier or general. His life was commanding armies. Think you have huge army and everything and next day you dont have it, your life is over. Think you need to sit almost one year just doing nothing, you only think how the F''k it happened. So he came back from there because he wanted to gain his glory back, to fight again and defeat his all enemy, so the whole europe and world fears him. Take about 1 hour and think what you really would do..if you are Napoleon Bonaparte himself.

Nothing is impossible.

The thread is ''If I was Napoleon''. Of course I am different from the brilliant and ambitious military genius.

If i was Napoleon,I would have flipped off Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo.

If I was Napoleon, I wouldn't suck so much at the battle of life.

Lol.

If I was Napoleon, having crushed the Prussians at the battle of Jena, I would have had Bernadotte executed for failing to support Davout at Auerstadt!

If I was Napoleon, I would have simply held my ground at the battle of Waterloo. Since I had artillery, Wellington would have charged his forces piecemeal at me and my neat V formations would have destroyed his entire army with ease. At least that's what happens in NTW...

If I was Napoleon, I would have eaten my own food that i had made so that I wouldn't have been poisoned and would have been at the battle of talking back the old continent.

If I was Napoléon I would have commanded the cavalry myself at the battle of Waterloo.

If i was Napoleon i would have gone forward in time after id marched on moscow and asked Field Marshall Montgomery what the first two rules of warfare were, after he told me that they were "dont march on Moscow" and "dont use your land army in asia" i would have invaded asia just to get the full set.

If I was Napoleon, I would have collected any windbushe jagers, baker rifles and outfitted my skirmishers with them. I would have spent a year the Elba commisioning my servants to make mouldings and copies of the necessary parts in the thousands. I will work on bullets with lead skirting and effectively design the minie ball 40 years early. I will issue the weapons to my army and make them train on the move. At the Battle of Waterloo, I will decimate the Allied lines with long range rapid rifle fire. I will designate several snipers to take out Richard Sharpe and not send dragoons charging towards him.

Those weapons are not that cheap and OP compare to line infantry in those ages, and I doubt the whole Elba population can destory the Allies. While Minie bullets may take ages and nobody will think of that.

If I was Napoleon, I would've tried to get Russia on my side.

If I was Napoleon I wouldent have used a French Army


(Its a joke )
