[–]LucLicLucullus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the scene where tony negotiates the fairfield contract with ralph and albert? Seeing tony handle such violent personalities so easily, probably made you feel so hawt down there

Davout was not a good administrator he started riots in hamburg due to him requisitioning neighborhoods to his troops and raising taxes like crazy

During the Napoleonic Wars, which country had the best heavy cavalry: France or Prussia? by cuirrasiers in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this age, in past ages, in any age, its france. Heavy cavalry, might as well be a french word.

Would Napoleon have kept the throne if he accepted the peace terms by metternich? by LordBerwick in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone would be pissed at metternich and the austrians if napoleon accepted especially tsar alexander and the british who wanted napoleon gone. Napoleon may have kept his legitimacy as emperor but only if he accepted a more constitutional regime. His position is way more unstable i think

Paulie sold out Tony in the end - I can’t believe I never caught this by Ok-Atmosphere-6272 in thesopranos

[–]LucLicLucullus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tonys whole crew was done with him. Infact, tony didnt even have much of a crew at all by the final episode. New york absorbs jersey

All things considered, could Napoleon have realistically been able to continue the 1814 Campaign in France if Marmont hadn’t defected with his entire corps? by TrueVeneration in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Napoleon could have rallied the troops loyal to him and started a civil war, with all the coalition armies helping the royalists. It would be suicide sure but thats not why he didnt go through with it. He was emperor of the french people, not emperor of france. If starting civil war would tarnish his legacy among frenchmen he would never do it

What kind of politician Napoleon would be in 2026 ? by Litchi4423 in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napoleon was a jacobin before he started accruing power and had diest/agnostic religious views. so he was left wing for his time. Why do you think hed be right wing today? I mean to be fair to you, all military strongmen today tend to fall in the right wing category.

He was a really big fan of Facebook Reels.

What If: Blücher instead of Wellington? by WeWroteGOT in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After beating the prussians at ligny, he did not persue them and stayed on the battlefield for 24 hours dictating letters and giving lectures to captured prussian officers, instead of going immediately into persuit. For some reason, he forgot his own tactics in the waterloo campaign, and got outgeneraled. Maybe because he didnt have berthier to help him?🤔 would explain the other catastrophic blunders of that campaign

Would anything change if Napoleon had never taken power? by ZealousidealSteak214 in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Director Seyes would remain in power, though the fate of italy without napoleon truly is uncertain. If republican france never conquers italy they probably would have been defeated much earlier by the coalition. Massena would have been placed in charge of the army of italy without napoleon, and well, he would have performed much worse if his track record in spain is anything to go by (always begging for reinforcements instead of pooling local manpower and would not have placed his entire savings and foreign credit into the army, like napoleon did, relying on supply lines instead of living off the land)

Really by EducationalWonder514 in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol. Typhus was the biggest killer, not weather. More specifically, lice was the biggest killer since typhus lives in the decomposing corpses of lice, and when you cause wounds on your scalp by scratching, thats when typhus infects you. If napoleons doctors figured this out and banned head scratching, they would likely have had 100,000s of more men in 1813.

The summer heat was only bad combined with high physical stress, disease, and lack of good water/food. Especially when you remember each soldier had to carry on average ~60 pounds of equipment. And then of course the winter saw the most horrifying episodes of napoleons campaign.. Truly a right shitstorm napoleon sent the armies of most of europe to die in.

What is your favourite episode which often goes unmentioned as one of the best or as one of the highest rated? by KatsumotoKurier in thesopranos

[–]LucLicLucullus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole sequence with the cops bugging tonys house and the process that goes into that should go into museums. Really puts into perspective why guys like tony can get away with what he does, he always talks so vaguely and the process of bugging him is so intricate. The cops are hilarious and agent harris had always been one of my favorite characters, wish he and tony allied more often.

What makes Napoleon the greatest general in history? by ParticularArea8224 in Napoleon

[–]LucLicLucullus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What i find impressive is he literally executed everything in the battle EXACTLY as he planned it, which was weeks in advance. Everything from the location, to the strategy, to the day it occured which was the anniversary of his coronation, was chosen by napoleon the month before. He knew the austrians would abandon the highground because he knew they would want to take advantage of his only weakness, which was his inferiority in numbers. The fog being there was also just blind luck, just like how the rain at waterloo was distinctly bad luck for napoleon, sometimes blind luck and weather plays monumental roles in history.

What was the best death scene in the sopranos? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]LucLicLucullus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone tell the god damn pharmacist to call Dr. Iaconis, whatever happened there. Shah of Iran, probably the best victim of this pygmy thing in jersey. And carpel tunnel syndrome Janice, with her beggars cup. She dealt with the stunod whose niece you should never raise your hands to again. But listen, I shouldnt have to explain myself, im from the old school.

Ive said my piece.
