I have a Large Napoleonic 15mm Bavarian Army mainly painted by me.

The Emperor joined the army. In this war which he supported for the interests of the Confederation of the Rhine, he wished to give to his German allies the greatest proof of his confidence, and to fight in their ranks, in their midst; he arrived the morning of the 20th of April at Abensberg; stopping at the head of the Bavarian divisions, he summoned all the officers around him, and addressed to them this harangue, translated immediately by the Crown Prince of Bavaria, and afterwards repeated in all the companies: “Bavarian soldiers! I do not come to you as Emperor of the French, but as protector of your country and of the German Confederation.” “Bavarians! You are fighting alone against the Austrians today, not a Frenchman is in the front ranks, they are in the reserve corps whose presence the enemy does not know.” “I place all our confidence in your bravery. I have already pushed back the limits of your country; I now see that I have not done as much as I can. In the future I will make you so great that when you make war on the Austrians you will no longer need my help. For two hundred years the Bavarian flags, protected by France, have resisted Austria. Now we will punish her for the harm she has always caused to your country i Vienna, where we will be soon.” “Austria wanted to partition your country into baronies, to divide you and distribute you into its regiments. Bavarians! This war is the last you will fight against your enemies, attack them with the bayonet and annihilate them!”
