Instantly recognizable by his short stature and fondness for shiny helmets, this important figure is nonetheless overlooked by most historians, overshadowed by a famous empereur who coincidentally shared a similar name. Unlike the better-known leader Little Napoleon was by contrast an incompetent buffoon, although prone to similar dreams of grandeur. Students of strategy still learn from such spectacular failures as the Amphibious Invasion of Paraguay (aborted due to lack of coastline) and the Occupation of Boardwalk (cut short by exorbitant hotel prices). After the failed Spanish Campaign, where his nascent offensive was quashed by a stampede in an event he proclaimed the Battle of Pamplona, Little Napoleon finally retired from pursuing world conquest to become a frustrated full-time artist (an odd reverse of convention) in self-imposed exile in New Hampshire, USA. |
