What were battles and warfare like during the napoleonic period?

by SmurfSmurfton

So, from this period, what I know of is the revolution, napoleon, and that he had a famous tactic of tricking his opponents and attacking divided armys with his while army to get an advantage.

What I want to knwo is what sort of technology was present in battles? What sort of strategies was employed by generals? Was there still cavalry dominating the field or was the gun supreme? How was armies and navies organized? what would a typical battle look like? what was the expected outcome of a war, in terms of what the winner gained and loser lost?

I'm very curious about all of this.
