When are we going to get a miniseries about the Napoleonic Wars from Austria's perspective?
>Miraculously held the line against the Grande Armee at its height >Great arc about the Imperial Army learning from its mistakes and rallying to form a fighting force that could match Napoleon in the field >Background politics of squabbling in the Royal family that crippled the war effort, but eventually got its shit together while putting the Army High Command in its place >Having to deal with Russians as their only ally after Prussia, (when the walls) fell and Britain abandoning the continent
Napoleon btfo'd everyone during the 3rd coalition (except the br*ts at sea of course) And Austria took on Napoleon on her own and did pretty well,giving Napoleon his first real defeat

>be austria >be in a war with a country that had been fighting itself >be allied with the greatest powers of Europe >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz >??? >"did pretty well"
Lucas Hall
Did you read my full post Maybe i forgot to put the fifth coalition (which was primarily Austrian) but you can infer from what i read there that Austria managed to put up a good fight alone against Napoleon at his height
Hunter Jackson
>Except the brits at sea
How did this happen? Did Napoleon fear the Royal naval warrior?
John Flores
>put up a good fight alone >with Spain and Britain and several minor states >have more troops than France >take more casualties than France >considered a French Victory
???

They were powered by rum,sodomy and the flog Better than any previous coalition,Archduke Charles gave Napoleon his first real loss at Aspern Esslimg and almost threatened to cut off the French Army in two Im not saying that the Austrian particularly won or anything but yes the Austria managed to put up a better fight than anyone previously And even in the aftermath of the Russian invasion and the sixth coalition it was only after Austria joined that the coalition had a numbers advantage
James King
>first real defeat >not saying that the Austrian particularly won
What did he mean by this?

I don't think we have enough media about the Napoleonic wars from the most interesting side right now anyway, but eventually it would be nice to have some stuff depicting all major sides.

Battle,not war

After we get an actually good one about France.
Grayson Garcia
Napoleonic Wars is pretty wide, better off either focusing on 1809 or 1813.
I'd rather see Russian anyway.
Evan Phillips
If only some rich guy would fund a huge production for the Napoleonic Wars.

The Eternal Normie would rather watch Survivor: Season 30 than watch that, though.
William Green

Although Austria did perform pretty badly overall, it would be interesting to see something from their perspective considering they did give Napoleon his first battlefield defeat
Samuel Cook
Because during the revolution all competent naval captains were executed or had fled from France, leaving the navy with awful leadership. The Army was good however because the nobility was less ingrained into it's structure and more focus was put towards rebuilding it. Spain was also pretty much a third-world country at the time so it wasn't too difficult for Britain to beat them at Trafalgar. Britain at the time however had a good navy but a terrible Army
Oliver James
There is already War and Peace
Angel Powell
To be fair, Britain having a good navy and a terrible/small army was hardly new.
