Brigadier Gerard Online Napoleonic Comic
Humor, Napoleonics
A character in a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story about the Napoleonic Peninsular War, Brigadier Gerard now has his own comic. It’s pretty neat.

Valeur et Discipline Napoleonics Website
Napoleonics
The Valeur et Discipline site has some terrific eye candy of 25mm Napoleonic figures. My dream is to have a collection of such figs.

Flintloque Blog
Fantasy, Napoleonics
Flintloque has always struck me as a very interesting game: Napoleonics set in a fantasy universe. The French are elves; the Russians, undead; the British, orcs; etc. I have to confess though, that I never liked the British as Orcs metaphor. I would rather have seen them as hobbits, which would be more in keeping with Napoleon’s characterization of the British as a “nation of shopkeepers.” (Actually, the phrase predates Napoleon to Adam Smith).
At any rate, here’s a blog dedicated to the game.

The Napoleonic Source Book by Philip Haythornthwaite
Book Reviews, Napoleonics
Philip Haythornthwaite’s The Napoleonic Sourcebook is a good place to start for a basic understanding of the Napoleonic Wars. The volume is divided into six major sections: The Campaigns, Weapons and the Practice of War, The Nations Involved in the Wars, Biographies, Sources, Miscellaea and a useful glossary. There are more than 200 black and white illustrations, maps and charts. For the painter, the book has descriptions of various uniforms and lists of uniform, facing, hat and button colors.

Wargamers Guide To Napoleonic Austria
Napoleonics
Chronofus has written a wargamers’ guide to Napoleonic Austria. He writes:
This document is a wargamer’s guide to Austria in the disastrous campaign against France in 1805, written to suit the Elan rules system. This is not intended to be an in depth detailed study of the campaign, which must be left to Europeans with good access to archival material. Enough information is presented here to give an overview of the campaign itself and enough formation and uniform details for a wargamer to suitably paint and base their miniatures to a reasonable standard. There are enough vagaries in some units for perfectionists to require further details from more in depth historical analysis. The reader is also cautioned that there has been, and continues to be, alot of misinformation about the Austrian army. Many parts of this campaign where Napoleon was not present have also been conveniently buried in history. As far as practical this document has been verified against current research.
