i thought napoleon won arcole!? :S

[Napoleontas]

It was some sort of a victory, the austrians retreated if iam not confusing it with lody, but the victory was not complete

[VonMudra]

What movie is this btw?

[Napoleontas]

from the mini series Napoleon, with clavier and depardieu , i think it is a french production

[Napoleontas]

How is that every stupid comment is made by an american? Criticizing Napoleons administration capabilities in such a ludicrous way is outrageous and becomes amusing and not offending

[BiffaTW]

absolutly his legend begins here.

[TalonMercenary]

Toulon in 1793 is where he proved his name, but Arcole really was where he first shone

[HisFaithful10]

Haha, this video definitely makes it seem like he lost Arcole, but at least his men are happy and loyal

[MS7Slavo97]

Go Napoleon!!

@zenoist2 In this battle was not used cannons:) only in the movie.

[zenoist2]

He was incredibly lucky the Austrian gunners are rotten shots who seem content to fire into the water.

[rammsteinaaron]

Believe they are confusing this with the battle of Lodi, he didnt get the nickname till then.
