I’ve read countless articles recounting the military genius of Napoleon and how he changed how warfare was waged. He had generals emulating him for generations to come. What I haven’t seen are material examples of how and what he did differently. What specifically did Napoleon excel at that made him so successful? I understand that his logistical skills were first rate and he was able to field massive professional armies but what battlefield innovations did he invent/enhance, if any?
More can always be said, but on matters Napoleonic and of the man specifically, we can turn to u/DonaldFDraper, specifically two particular answers, one from an AMA and one from a plain thread, on just how revolutionary Napoleon was.
I also commend to your attention their flair profile, which links to a significant amount of answers re Napoleon.
