I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.
Favorite nation
-
as you can guess I favor the Germans
-
I find America fun, so much strategy. Also you get land, sea, and air combat as America.

In the spirit of removing redundancy and self-promotion, here’s an earlier thread devoted to this topic:
-
Britain is my best because it is the middle man with the most challenge…
-
i’d have to say germany or russia. first of all, i love giant battles and these two always have them. germany is fun cause you have to break out to get a decent game in. and russia gives a player the most chalenge fighting a two front war from the first turn.
-
of course if you love having to spend IPC’s on large Items Japan…probably #2
-
So are we talking WWII? Well for me, no matter what, U.S.A is the best in the world. :D
-
We are talking classic Axis and Allies…… Well, i don’t have a favorite, but two least favorites: Germany and the US.
