Obscure Battles: Hohenlinden 1800

 The Obscure Battles website recently posted an article on the battle of Hohenlinden in 1800, which was faught between the French & Austrians. The French were commanded by Napoleon's rival, Jean Victor Moreau, who was a talented general. A very interesting article, as are all the articles on this website, detailing a battle that was very decisive yet not well publicized.

Age of Napoleon Podcast

 I ran across a podcast series called "The Age of Napoleon." It intends to cover the entire French Revolutionary & Napoleonic period. They have currently completed the Revolutionary Period and are up to 1803. I just listened to the ones covering the battles of Castiglione & Marengo. Another worthwhile thing to listen to while painting miniatures!
