Tells you something about Bernadotte, if that's all he ever got right He did do good in a few campaigns such as the Walcheren Expedition or the Vendée Revolt Compare to Austerlitz (no horses) and Jena-Auerstaedt (needn't be explained) |

Bernadotte did well in independent command, but his record for supporting other Maréchals and obeying orders? Dubious.

I thought I was overusing the Battle of Lodi. Every third post of yours has the words "Siege" and "Hamburg"  But that's a joke compared to my early self loving |

Jean-Luc Picard, when Bernadotte faced okay Maréchals like Ney and Oudinot, he won. At Dennewitz, he beat them badly enough that Ney wanted to resign and become a grenadier.

I spice it up a little Mine's either Lodi, Arcola, Jena, Friedland, Pultusk, Montebello, Cairo, Aboukir, Saragossa, Essling, Eckmühl, or Acre |

You may have reinforced, but without me you would've had nothing to reinforce. Also: Jena wasn't just you, Essling was a failure, and Acre was also a failure |

Idk why I said Eckmühl |

Idk why I said Eckmühl You said Eckmuhl beccause you were too busy taking 3-pounders to the knee to get it right  |
