* BattleTrophy: As typical of wars of the era, obtaining an enemy standard (in other words, [[CaptureTheFlag capturing their flag]])) is seen as a complete and total victory superior to an ordinary enemy retreat. The loss of the King's Colours is seen as a shame beyond measure in ''Sharpe's Enemy'', and capturing the Imperial Eagle (the standard of Napoleon's armies) is an equally heroic feat. On a smaller scale, soldiers including Sharpe and his company are commonly seen with looted French gear, often noting its superiority to the standard British army equipment.

* FrenchJerk: Surprisingly for a war series, this trope is often [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when it comes to Napoleon's army. Whilst there are plenty of card-carrying villains for Sharpe to defeat, there are plenty of honourable men who just happen to be on the opposing side to Sharpe. Straight examples include:
