so in case you're confused on what im talking about this in particular is about the bavarian campaign during the war of the fifth coalition, in particular when the austrian emperor launched a surprise campaign against napoleon and his germany allies in the rheinbund. The rapide attack nearly took out bavaria and split napoleon's scattered and disjointed corps, but in a campaign napoleon considered the finest in his entire carrier "those 8 days in april" he nearly surrounded and captured what was actually the intere austrian army ( i know there where other armies in italy and poland but this where at best half hearted armies how's only reson austry thout thay had a chance was because members in the austrian court where living in a fantasyland, no i really wish i was kidding there). but i only said nearly, archduke charles managed to get his army out of the insercalmint but it was very closes (even if he did get his army in that position to begin with( he gets a pass scenes he ,along with anyone with a modicum of military scenes, opposed the war from the start and the only way he could have won was to attack hard and fast in order to convince other nations to help, even if he did not have the army quite capable enough to actually pull it off, but like i said fantasyland) .
but i'm curious sv, what if napoleon had surrounded the austrian army on the danube, instead of the least known part of the least known of all the coalitions it was instead napoleon's greatest triumph. instead of having a stinging defeat at aspern-essling and an extremely bloody victory at wagram we instead have the austrian army over extend and be captured (sort of like ulm i sapoos), would it have change the course of the napoleonic was much? would russia try antagonizing napoleon if instead of his invincibility shaken by this war its reinforced?
