Maréchal Jeff Bardon answered part now the other two and what battle and what reason????

By the way your question at the beginning says "generals" and now we are talking about maréchals...

So if those 4 generals are maréchals, of course Bernadotte has to be included.

There is an episode... in 1806 when Davout wanted to settle things with Bernadotte for not helping his IIIe Corps at Auerstadt... but it's not the good year.

Ney, Murat, Battle of Haslach-Jungingen or battle of Albeck in October.

Ney was upset with Murat for hanging Dupont out to dry.

Ney, Lannes, Battle of Elchingen.

Ney refused Lannes' help at that battle to keep the glory to himself.

These actions collectively, plus some others, centered around Ulm or the manuevre of Ulm.

Later on Mortier was upset with Murat over the battle of Durenstein.

Well it took a former soldat of the Emperor to get the whole question right and sorry that I confused others by saying Generals but all fair in Love and War! Congrats to my Russian Guards men may the Russi Emperor shower you with honor!

Way to go, Al. Good job!

In Egypt what Generals were at the center of the watermelon affair? What General was Napoleon going to shot but change his mind? How much did that General Pay the first Counsel? Which one the four Major General's told Napoleon about the meeting and what went on at the meeting.

watermelons: dysentry: over consumption: Bonaparte

shoot Kleber? maybe, maybe not.

paid too much

lots of yelling in French

Nay my cold weather ami ! Try again!

I see that when it comes to the Nap wars before 1800 no one knows the answer am sure that someone has a idea, what happen in Egypt! And how come we don't have any games on Egypt or the many battles before Tu be became Emperor????

Maybe you could give us a clue...
I have looked for a watermelon affair without luck...

Mon ami maybe the answer is looking you in the face ! This was Davout commander before Tu made the Iron General famous!

Are you talking about Desaix? The Just Sultan?

By the way, what is "Tu" referring to?

Tu is what Lannes called the Emperor and nay on the other!

For those who don't Parley the Francaise...

tu is the informal form of you.

Essentially Nap addressed Lannes as a friend. He did not address others in that manner, or so it is written.

Well, during the Revolution "tu" was used by everybody. It was even a Décret from November 1793.

So I would think that during that campaign everybody was still using the tutoiement (informal you in French). It's only after that Lannes was the only one still using the "tu" with Napoleon (the Consul and then emperor)...
