Unit strengths for Napoleonic

[pierre the shy]

19 wins. That's what I'd call a good innings Did the brits ever lose on the continent (lets just ignore New Orleans, it was fought after the war was over, after all)?

Well they had 2 "expeditions" into the Low Countries  - one in 1794 - 5 (including the Duke of York's infamous 10,000 men) which ended up in retreat and the other in 1809 at Walcheren that did not go well due to really bad sickness (ca 4000 men were lost to sickness as opposed to around 100 from enemy action). Do Popham's two farceical attempts to invade the River Plate in 1807 count as that was in South America?

Failed British expeditions? Glad to see the Walcheren figures. Pro Froggies always trot it out as an example of poor British performance, without realising that no battles were fought! Twits! 

The DoY expedition in the 1790s though. Again, most of the battles are British victories, but the allies are often out manoeuvred off the field by the froggies. There is a colonel of the 33rd foot who served in that campaign, and he certainly learned a lot. 

I fear the S America efforts must be classed a bad shows, but Corruna? The retreat was a disaster, but the battle was a win - phewwww

New Orleans? Uhmmmm, tricky one. It was fought after the war had ended so doesn't count? And let's not forget who dug the American defensive works....
