"What's there to know? He took 691,000 men from Poland to Moscow. I think we can all agree on that"

That proves my point, you have no idea about Napoleon´s Russian campaign

True or False, Napoleon took ~691,000 men from Poland to Moscow, or the vicinity of Moscow?

False, you should do some reading before posting those things.

I did! If there's something in the wikipedia article that is wrong, then say what it is! There's even a cool map that shows how the size of the army dwindled along the route. Why do I have to know everything about Napoleon to use this as an example?

Are you saying that Napoleons troops in Russia were not a proper 'field army' and in fact had a certain 'globalness' about them? If so, why could not Xerxes forces exhibit the same character in this regard?
