Hey Guys,
I have two questions on the Napoleonic Wars that I don't get/know. These are all about OTL as well, nothing to do with a TL or AH.
Firstly, was the reason Napoleon couldn't defeat Russia because his army was so huge, he couldn't face the Russians in a full-on field battle and destroy their army. Thus he was forced to charge at them until the French reached Moscow. If his army had managed to destroy the majority of the Russian army within a couple of months of fighting would the Russians have surrendered (a little bit of AH there I know).
Secondly, what did Napoleon have planned for a beaten Russia? Or did he just wish to subdue it and with no major land-changes? If he did want to make any land changes that are worthy of talking about does anyone have a map that shows his planned land changes?
