lol, supply lines, as if Napoleon would give a shit about them if his army was marching across unspoiled territory, some of the richest in Europe besides. If Napoleon gets the complete army to England, the campaign is essentially won; the problem is getting good transport and control of the channel for the couple days required to move the army.Depends what you mean by invasion. Landing some troops that quickly lose when their supply lines get cut? Pretty small because Napoleon wasn't an idiot. Having a serious invasion that could have taken Britain? Virtually zero.

Wouldn't you know it, he actually did! His army on the coasts was like 200,000 men, more than enough to crush whatever army the British could field in an army.He would have to have got a huge army to not be worried about needing reinforcements.

Ammo consumption wasn't what it is now; generally the supply carried with the army was sufficient for most of the campaign in the Napoleonic Wars.Where's he going to get his ammo from then?

Wasn't there an elaborate plan to lure away the RN to the Caribbean so that the French could cross
that almost worked?
