Bayonette charge and kill everyone on the city. Hamas would be deprived of one of its few advantage: range. Auto weapon too, but Napoleon would have a decisive number advantage and moral can't be higher. With modern medicine, Napoleon wouldn't lose 90% of its army to disease. It would be a done affair in a a week. Tunnels would be smoked. And as battle goes by, french forces would capture weapons and cache, having equal profeciency compared to Hamas soldiers (none). I'm not sure how would artillery play a role but I sure want to see the battle open with 1300 canon firing for an hour and then use them in the city in small batteries to dislodge pocket of resistance or at least prepare the charge.
Have gun teams wheel the smaller guns through the city streets, keeping close to assaulting infantry. A particular house proving difficult to approach? Grape the fuck out of it, the walls are shitty material. Hit the supporting struts with roundshot and bring them down.

Although not the Grand Arme, the foreign legion under Napoleon conquered Algeria by using counter insurgency tactics which would be the foundation for which modern doctrines would be developed.
I don't see why he would use the Grand Arme instead, but he would likey already have experience in dealing with sand naggers. Enough to take the city.
Gazans are Arabs, instead of taking pot shots at the from afar, they will wait until the enemy is within bayonet distance

100% completely affirmitive
Im on the last chapters of the napoleon biography that k suggested and it was fucking amazing.
the guy was the true god of war. an autist so devoted to every single minutiae of war that he thought of nothing else beyond maximizing the capabilities of his army.
bonaparte was so far beyond everyone else that its not even a contest. beyond his contemporaries. but I'd put him above julius caesar, ghengis khan, or even alexander himself.
because they were all just heavyweights beating up on smaller nations and brute forcing their ways through places and peoples.
bonaparte however did what no one else has ever done before or since. he took on peer to peer conflicts. in the truest sense, an entire continent of peer adversaries had to unite against him a dozen times just to get him down. he took a broken country in turmoil, fighting for the side of regicide and democracy, then turned the fanatical country into a fucking EMPIRE declared himself emperor and wrote enough letters and delegated so many commands and implementations to improve and modernize his army that it became the world beating force that every single other nation on earth had to unite against to conquer. he wrote so many letters and commands they could fill an encyclopedia about war.
also he was just an all around genius. loved the classics. loved war. loved science and learning and topography and history.
give him the grande armee and he would have gaza subdued in 3 weeks. with musket and cannon.
>julius caesar
for the second half of his war campaigns he was against the republican roman army which almost always outnumbered him and had competent commanders in rank. he himself was surprised to have survived that far against all odds
I just read the Gun by C S Forester. It's about Spanish guerrillas fighting Napoleonic French occupiers. And blasting those French with a big cannon. But there's a bit in it about a French officer's 'ornamental oriental sword'. And I was meaning to look up what he was referring too. I forgot to. But seeing that image, now I know.
i hate this facial expression >guh im a serious guy looking seriously on my serious business before i make my serious decisions
made for netflix, casting a guy who looks 55 to play somebody in their 20s, this movie will be so fucking bad
I suspect yes, mostly because Napoleon comes from a time where you will be thrown into a dungeon for waving the flag of an unrecognized country controled by people sworn to destroy you.
no dude. as poorly trained and equipped as the gazans are, and as good as the grande armee was for its time, the gazans have modern infantry weapons, rocket artillery, mortars, drones, and the most important one....
fucking cars.
remember how napoleonic infantry had to bunch up just to have a chance against cavalry? that shit will not work against a toyota hilux. If they spread out they get run over by cars. If they clump up to shoot the cars then AKs RPGs, mortars, grenades, will fuck them up
It occurred to me that Napoleon could make up a lot of the technology shortfall by selling the gold and silver in his pay chests at modern prices, pay his men in Euros and still have enough left over to buy a lot of decent hardware.
He already did
And it wasnt even the grande armee
IN Modern day*
Yes, easily

Napoleon was late 30s early 40s when he conquered Europe.
no he wasn't
Yes he was. I checked. Dude was well into his thirties by the time he got started.
and the movie also shows earlier parts of his life

Dont forget the paragliders dropping bombs on the juicy rectangle formations
>remember how napoleonic infantry had to bunch up just to have a chance against cavalry? that shit will not work against a toyota hilux
static anti cavalry tools dont work when the enemy outranges and outguns you. hamas will just mortar and rocket the static fortification.
Do you think a cheval de frise could stop a Hilux anyway?
Let the blood bath begin.
No, Napoleon would be mortally wounded by a 30 year old hand grenade dropped from a drone within the first hours of the conflict
