WOW, how dare you compare to that "Marshal" which couldn't even beat Prussians? The same Marshal who was so incompetent he didn't even have the balls to actively take charge of the Ireland Expedition which could've kicked GB out. HOW DARE YOU compare the greatest Maréchal d'Empire to that disgrace of France. lol jk, if we have a Grouchy on here sorry I just had to *2nd best Maréchal |

Davout's Life: Day 7363 Still can't find friends D'Avout is so badass he don't need friends It's a reference to being very anti-social especially in his early years |

Wake me up when Davout beats an army 3.06x his own's size Not that incredible. Positioning, battle strategy, circumstances, troop training... it can be done. |

Did I mention that your enemy has to be in defensive positions and retreat once they see your far smaller army after you attacked them the whole day taking less casualties? |

Ha, puns He is so devout on reaching Tilnitz that he forgot to make friends And you're so devout on being hit by cannonballs that you weren't there when Napoleon needed you most (Waterloo, replacing Grouchy) |

He is so devout on reaching Tilnitz that he forgot to make friends And you're so devout on being hit by cannonballs that you weren't there when Napoleon needed you most (Waterloo, replacing Grouchy) That's debatable whether Lannes should've been at Wavre or Quatre-Bras. The only problem with Wavre is that he probably wouldn't be able to participate at Waterloo where we was needed the most. Lannes should've been at Quatre-Bras and after overrunning the Dutch early on (sorry NetherFreek) he could support Napoléon ans knowing Lannes he could maybe even make a combined arms attack with Ney's charge making it a decisive blow. Also Lannes' leadership skills would've proven immensly important at Hougoumomt and La Haye Saint, so Lannes alone could've decided the whole battle. |
