What is the Northern European Plain?

Yeah, but the Brits never faced him as, upon hearing that he was a few kms from them (although he wasn't going after them but against Spaniards in another direction), they threw themselves in a headlong flight that ended with them dunkirking chaotically at Corunna
This is the power of the British army

Mainly because the British are and always have been absolutely shit at warfare, how does this still surprise some people?

Brits are just way smarter than Ruskies, the map clearly shows that. Fighting a war is an awfully messy affair, best don't do it at home but fight it in a far away country overseas, if you can, chose a place with warm climate, good food, good vino and cheap brown hookers. And when you guys call it a war and need to end the show, just walk the short bit over the Pyrenees deep into the heart of France and score a quick and glorious victory.

The Russians on the other hand let them get invaded, destroyed their own country in a war with shit food, no vino and skinny pale hookers in a freezing hell. then they had to walk all the way to Paris just to find all vino already confiscated by the Brits.

>Brits are just way smarter than Ruskies, the map clearly shows that. Fighting a war is an awfully messy affair, best don't do it at home but fight it in a far away country overseas

Because you think Russia had the choice?
Not everyone has a nice sea to protect them from frog and kraut armies

Yes, thats why the Russians were blessed with Poland as a buffer zone, a nice place to start a war, ok food, talented hookers, nice flat terrain, everything you can ask for. But does Iwan use it? No, rather shit where you eat, like filthy animals!

>yfw Corunna is still regarded as ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''victory''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' by the Anglo

>its almost like Britain was closer to France than Russia was.

>Invade an ally
>Lose the war
>Try to mock others

>Spain was an "ally" of France in 1808

By that logic, Vichy France was an "ally" of Germany in 1942
Subdued former enemy =/= ally

People couldn't cross mountains until railroads were invented,

And that's exactly why the British should have reached Paris before the Russians
But this isn't what happened

>Invade an ally
>Lose the war
>Try to mock others
>Get told
>Claim that the ally was not even an ally but a subdued enemy
>Yet somewhat invading an already subdued enemy makes sense in your eyes
>Still lost the war

>all those casualties
Rather you than me Ivan. War isn't about glory it's about the best possible outcome for yourself. Britain played the napoleonic Wars perfectly, as shown by their subsequent 100 years of world domination

>Yet somewhat invading an already subdued enemy makes sense in your eyes

It does
A subdued enemy (satellite state) isn't necessarily militarily occupied
When it doesn't behave good enough, you may need to invade it
That's what happened to Vichy France in 1942 (Case Anton) and to Spain in 1808

Man, why can´t you assume what Napoleon himself assumed?
Invading Spain was a mistake.
You can try to make as many excuses as you want
>"Spain was not sovereign", "Spain was evil and treacherous", "French troops were not actually a real army".

But that won´t change the fact that Napoleon invaded a country that had been allied with France for years. And then proceed to lose the war.

>A military campaign in mountainous Spain is comparable to a trade route with no enemy forces hiding in the mountains and behind your lines
I think you're the one who needs to reconsider life, user.

Well the British army was considerably smaller than the Russian army, the situation wasn't desperate for Britain like it was for Russia and the terrain is vastly different

bong propaganda is ubiquitous and even now there's a fresh crop of bong faggots spewing fantasy on youtube

If you don't know what you're talking about just refrain from posting

>getting all worked up that Britain didn't headlong sacrifice hundreds of thousands of men like everyone else
It's like you want to be as retarded as the Continentals.

The bongs are just as retarded, as well as militarily incompetent.

>be Russia
>retreat and hide like cowards
>hope for long distances and harsh winter to do the job for them
>Napoleon reached Moscow
>take everything to the ground even your capital before the French could have any gain from infrastructure or crops
>chase the french during their retreat with guerrilla tactics, not even direct engaing
>THE RUSSIANS TOOK BACK ALL OF EUROPE

>retarded

>win the war with minimal losses
>equal seat at the Congress of Vienna
>go on to be leading power of the century

Certainly more intelligent than the French or the Russians.

>French attempt to wipe an army low on supplies out
>Gets their shit kicked in and retreat
>Brits then leave battlefield

Ah yes, a clear defeat! A French victory would have ended the peninsular war you brainlet.

The state of Veeky Forums...Stop posting. After putting Wellington in charge and getting some reforms done the French were BTFO of Spain, they didn't get any major victories over the British it's just rearguards and skirmishes

Northern Europe is just shitty flatland all the way from Moscow to Belgium. Pyrenees are a mountain range.

Bongs
>have to cross from Africa to Europe
>have to install two regimes which are happy with British rule as both were formally at war with the Mongs before
Russia
>crosses through Prussia which was until 1945 very nationalistic
>crosses through german princedoms keen to assert their authority
Really makes you think
