Campaigns of Napoleon - which next? (Patreon)

Dear Voting Citizens of Patreon,

As promised, here is the first of two votes on upcoming Napoleon topics. This one is for the mini-series (3-4 episodes) covering a campaign, which will go into production  after our 1848 and HMS Victory videos.

Your choices are:

Italy 1796: 26-year old General Bonaparte takes command of a hungry and demoralised French Army of Italy, and leads it to a series of stunning victories over the Austrians, including Lodi, Arcole and Rivoli. These are the battlefields on which the Napoleonic legend first takes shape. 

Egypt 1798: strategically dubious and ill-fated perhaps, but the romance and drama of Napoleon's Egyptian expedition is the stuff of legend. The young Lannes, Davout and Murat achieve extraordinary feats, as Napoleon smashes the Mamluks at the Battle of the Pyramids. 

Marengo 1800: Napoleon cross the Alps in one of the most famous manoeuvres in military history, catching the Austrians by surprise, while Masséna holds out heroically in Genoa. The Battle of Marengo is a near run thing, but victory secures Napoleon's position as France's First Consul.

Hundred Days 1815 (Redux): the very first Epic History TV video was made for the 2015 bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo. It has the key ingredients - Charles Nove, dramatic music, little coloured blocks moving about a map - but imagine the campaign remade with the sophistication and scale of our Leipzig video! The remake would feature detailed coverage of Quatre-Bras, Ligny, and of course Waterloo.

'All of the Above' is not an option! But topics that don't win this time will return in future. Vote is open for two weeks. I look forward to your decision!
