#5 Gromgoru. Napolaon didn't say that: He said God sides with the big batalions".

Now, Napoleon was an artillery officer and when he created (or more exactly upgraded) Ecole Polytechnique for forming artillery officers he took great care in having the very best of the best mathematicians in France teach there: Laplace, Lagrange, Poisson, Monge, Arago are just a sample of those who teached there or were examinators for the competitive exam for admission.

#8 Grom. Hre in France the quote about artillery is never heard and the one about big batalions in quite frequant. But the one about artillery is giving here http://www.napolun.com/mirror/web2.airmail.net/napoleon/artillery_Napoleon.html

It is a mirror of an English-speking Polish or Polish-American site that is one of th best sites about Napolaon and the European armies of his time.
