    Napoleon's Forces in Spain in January 1813

    in Peninsular War

    Does anyone have a figure for the strength of Napoleon's forces at the beginning of January 1813? Oman does not have it. I estimate it was about 300,000 before he began to withdraw troops for his army in Central Europe.


    Thanks!
