Hello! What would be a good source of info about tactics used to attack and defend fortresses and cities in the Napoleonic Wars? Ideally, something shorter / more focused than a full history of the wars. For instance, I'm guessing pouring boiling oil on attackers storming the walls was no longer used at this point, but perhaps there was an updated equivalent? Etc. Thanks! -- EmIsCurious ( talk) 05:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Lines of Torres Vedras contains information which may be of interest... AnonMoos ( talk) 12:42, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
