Napoleon was engaged in his first fighting in the early year 1793 when he took part with the rank of lieutenant- colonel of artillery in an aborted tentative of seizing the Sardinian town of La Maddalena in Northern Sardinia. Indeed he was not in command of the task force and he was not responsible for the failure.
The action was directed against the Kingdom of Sardinia.
