Napoleonic Wars Help: Needed ASAP!

Hi folks! I recently started a new timeline and would like some help here.

First POD was in June 1805, in the U.S., with a major POD in 1807, no Embargo Act.

Are there any volunteers to help write material on this subject?
 
All right, so what about Napoleon and his wars do you need help on? :)

Namely, ending the war in 1812, and how to do that, amongst other things.

Napoleon's women are very interesting, and lots of other people had mistresses.

Well, not a bad idea. I'd like to end the wars first, though; perhaps afterwards he gets exiled or elopes, to Canada or South America with his lover?

Ending the war in whose favor? Napoleon's or the Coalition's?

I believe he means the coalitions. It is a quite difficult POD. What you need is to find some way to give Austria competent Generals.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: next maybe have the war of the third coalition be an alliance success. Say Austerlitz, Ulm, etc go the other way.
Then give Spain competent generals and a working military:eek: then maybe with Spain invading from the south, Austria, Russia, Prussia invading from the east. Well after bloody wars Napoleon will most likely be defeated and Paris captured. How does this sound.

Was not Archduke Karl of Teschen competent?

Regarding Spain, could they have "imported" Iturbide to lead an army in Europe? Not sure quite what his career trajectory was

fine ill give you that but please do something about those useless commanders in Italy. Seriously plus during third coalition the Austrians fell for a simple trap they lost the bridge because two of Nappys generals convinced them that the war was over and other things, while talking french soldiers crept across the bridge and invaded defeating the army and cut off the Russians that bridge was in effect the last hurdle to Vienna. plus many of the generals were truly incompetent i give you one general but Austria had tons of generals who were stupid and like i said before some of their generals couldn't differentiate between water and land on maps.:eek: Whears Napoleon and his general staff were military geniuses. What did Austria have that was comparable aside from one general?
By the way another idea is WI Prussia joined the war in favour of allies. Wouldnt that work. Think about it Prussian forces which were extremly disciplined might allow Nappy to be defeated. What do you think?
Hmm. Maybe they could have gotten Iturbide to lead an army. Still how does iturbide hold up to napoleans generals?

How about a different Eylau? It was a draw in OTL, could it somehow become a Napoleonic defeat?

Get the armies to winter quarters with the Russians still in the game, and then have some things go Russia's way, and you might get Napoleon to retreat. Now, granted, you might not be able to totally defeat him - the Fourth Coalition might be more of a draw. However, that keeps Russia opposing Napoleon, sliminates Tilsit, and allows for the Tsar to continue fighting the next time around.

So, a Fifth Coalition, say in 1809, might just be able to drain Napoleon enough that he loses by 1812.

Of course, it just looks possible to me because I know it was a draw OTL and relatively close to when the armies would have to retreat to witner quarters. But, is it feasible?
 
I'll put it this way: If Austria's generals were so stupid, how was Austria able to resist Napoleon so (relatively speaking, obviously) successfully? Why do we see Austria able to keep standing up after being hit by Napoleon if there's nothing there but fluff?

More specifically, this battle http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/napoleonicwars/p/aspernessling.htm Both as an example of Austrian ability and a possible (if not likely) major win if things go better for Austria.

Prussia performed fairly badly in the Napoleonic Wars for the most part, so including it in more of the fighting...won't make that much difference.

The Napoleonic Wars saw Prussia fall from Europe's most formidably army man-for-man to a weak force subjugated by Napoleon. At the least von Hardenberg and vom Stein built it back up.
