Indeed... I think I remember reading somewhere that Napoleon said that he had fought and won more battles than Alexander, Hannibal, and Julius Caesar combined. That's probably an exaggeration, but if you read accounts of his battles, it's surprising how many he did win in the face of apparently overwhelming odds.
Furthermore, you also have to consider that much of Western European law is based on the law code he developed to rule his empire. He's also indirectly responsible for the German and Italian unification movements that followed less than 50 years after his reign ended.
