Under Nappy the French Army foraged in a disciplined manner, from the moment the march started. Therefore they had shorter supply trains resulting in them moving much faster than other European Armies of the time.
Napoleon's tactics were revolutionary(What he did with artillery had never been done before.). His men were mostly professionals soldiers. Against conscript armies the French were invincible. And by 1812 this all had changed.

In no way is Napoleon an overrated military commander, period. Maybe in the eyes of the British. I will say that if he controlled the seas he would have dominated the entire region easily.
