Certainly a very good tactician, but he has advantage of commanding most well trained,well equipped,disciplined and experienced army of the era, probably history, also backed by a very powerful navy, protecting his supply lines and giving capability of landing the army anywhere in the known world- preferably the rear of enemy, used extensively to create diversion during peninsular war which was always frustrating for enemy. However, In Spain and Belgium, he also had not the most well-trained or loyal fighters. Shout out to my Flemish bois! |

For his rash actions sometimes? Yes Literally starting the war of the Seventh Coalition, taking Vienna, and such. |

But he was much kinder towards his soldiers and to the people in the conquered areas Bernadotte's reason was based. Murat's was not. I actually kind of like Bernadotte. Look at Napoleon's continential system, and look at Sweden's positioning in Europe. Far away, desolate, and just hard to get to. Their great shipbuilding port at Malmo went basically unused. The ship activity in the Baltic was stagnating as well. When Napoleon took Swedish Pomerania, that made it so that it was impossible to get stuff through even domestic shipping. |

All the gains were made by him and Moreau in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands. They had numerical superiority for that. French gains in HRE gains weren't much French gains were huge in Rhine. Moreau has reached as far as Bavaria and was about to reach Tyrol (the place where 3 armies were supposed to meet) but Bonaparte and Jourdan were nowhere seen, especially Jourdan who was defeated by Charles forcing Moreau to retreat. |

Napoleon had lots of problems and he didn't reach Tyrol. |
