Napoleon Bonaparte would defeat George Washington in a War #3

Rebuttals Guerilla Warfare My opponent claims that Napoleon was clueless at guerilla tactics. Yes, I admit that Napoleon did fail the Spanish campaign due to guerilla tactics. However, the Spanish soldiers were better trained than Washington's men. The idea that the American colonists used guerrilla tactics and acted as snipers from the forest, while hapless British soldiers lined up in the open and followed the rules of European warfare is part of the myth of the American Revolution, and is often dismissed by modern historians. However, it is based on reality to a certain extent. There were certainly instances of the Americans using guerrilla tactics, particularly following Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. However, most of the time, Washington used guerrilla tactics to weaken the British before actually fighting using the traditional Continental Army. The real battles would actually be the traditional European warfare, in which Napoleon was a master at. I would also like to point out that the British, which used a similar fighting style Napoleon did, almost won the American Revolution. They would have if France hadn't helped. About the Russian campaign, Napoleon loss was mainly because of the cold winter. Everyone Hated France This is a war between Napoleon and Washington, not Napoleon vs Washington, King George III, Fredrick II, etc. Multi-Front War I admit that Napoleon was fighting a multi-front war, it is true that France had many enemies, but was the US any better? Britain would definitely not help the US, and the other European nations thought the US was just a tiny country that would not last long, they would not help the US either. Why waste your own troops on some tiny country when you need all the troops you have? Also remember that this is supposed to be a war between the US and France only. Win loss success rate This is not irrelevant because the British and France had similar fighting styles. Yes, it is true that Washington won the American Revolution, however it was only because of the French rescuing him. Take Yorktown for example. If the French hadn't arrived, Lord Cornwallis could have used the Navy to his advantage. Also, let's look at the battles Washington did win: Yorktown- The British were outnumbered 3 to 1. Washington also got French support. Battle of Eutaw Springs- British were outnumbered and the US lost way more men. Trenton- Outnumbered the British. There were 2,400 American troops with 18 guns. 1,400 Hessians with 6 light guns. As you see, most of the battles Washington won was purely because of number. Napoleon won many battles while outnumbered. Unorthodox tactics? What about Napoleon's Egyptian campaign? Troops Troops are relevant. A better trained army will follow orders better. The main reason Montcalm lost the battle of Quebec was because of his troops were misbehaving. I already refuted the Guerilla Tactics. Navy Privateer vs Warship. I would think that the Warship would win. The navy is a good advantage because look at Yorktown. The British had Yorktown blockaded. Were privateers able to hurt that? No. It was the French navy that defeated the British. New Arguments 1. Artillery Napoleon had many powerful cannons and artillery, while Washington had very little.
