France
The French Revolution completely changed the balance of power in Europe. Having mobilised huge conscript armies, France first defended its young republic from the hostile monarchies, and then started the conquest of the neighbouring lands. The coronation of Napoleon in 1804 has started a war, during which France conquered almost the entire continent, and then was beaten by the coalition of other the great powers.
The phrase "God loves big battallions" suits both the Revolutionary and Imperial French armies. Vigorously attack with a mass of infantry, supported by cavalry, artillery and skirmishers to crush the enemy army with a forceful blow. Units
