I've lost a few battles against the AI French - but only early in the game before training kicks in, and outnumbered. Speaking of casualties - I wish I had a screenshot of last nights big battle. 130,000 Russians against 120,000 French, who reinforced from a neighboring province (not sure how much additionally reinforced). After a loooonng battle, the French finally broke, and casualties were 90,000 dead French against 16,000 Russians. I had a battery of 4 Artillery (2 heavy, 2 regular) that must have slaughtered 50,000 French by themselves. Sometimes French morale can work against them. They just kept coming, and terrain and use of my cavalry just funneled them into a meat-grinder. Once they shattered, my cavalry had a field day with pursuit. The highlight of the battle was when a Heavy Artillery volley butchered over half of the vaunted French Guard in a single shot
