trap?[edit]

The article suggests that the battle ensued as Napoleon set a trap for the allies. I feel some doubts about this : Napoleon was short of cavalry, and thus probably had little idea of what allied forces were in the neighbourhood. I did read one or two articles about this battle, and i dont recall one of them regarding it as a trap set by Napoleon.

Also, with just one source listed i feel the base for this artcile is rather small

Thank you for your comments. I absolutely agree that the article could use expansion and particularly wider sourcing, but this depends on editors with the interest, time and expertise willing to work on the article. I've tagged the trap reference as dubious but don't have the resources to do much more myself - of course, if you fancy a challenge your assistance in improving the article would be very welcome :) All the best, EyeSerene^talk 09:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the statement, which is unnecessary anyway; the sentence is now direct and factual. Languagehat (talk) 16:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Retreat[edit]

On the Map there is only one allied unit retreating. This seems a bit odd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.114.215.185 (talk) 11:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
