Who was Napoleon's greatest marshal? It's a question that has dogged fans of the period for 200 years, and will do for 200 more. On the 220th anniversary of Napoleon creating the marshals of France, and marking the 200th instalment of the Napoleonic Wars pod, fans of the show fire the opening salvo in the epic journey that will be the Battle of the Marshals.
In this first heat, Ed Coss makes the case for Berthier, Todd Campbell argues for Ney, and Dan Hazelwood defends Soult. Only one can make it through to the semi final. Who wins? You decide.
With expert commentary from Josh Provan and Sam Jolley.
