Salut,
My first post at the new forum :) Has anyone seen/can recommend in-depth studies about supply systems of European armies during the Napoleonic Wars? I do not want broad surveys like Creveld's "Supplying War" but "nuts and bolts" approach. Thanks in advance!

Google books has a snippet:

Alex,
"L'armée d'Italie" by Gilles Candela ; that's not an extensive study but it gives a good insight on the logistics of the Army of Italy in the mid 1790's.
Lechartier, G. (Capitaine). Les Services de l'arrière à la Grande Armée en 1806-1807, par le capitaine d'artillerie breveté G. Lechartier,.... 1910.
It is on Gallica
Welcome Alex! I know Will Fletcher is working on this during the Peninsular War. Ward did some good work on British army admin. I can't speak for the armies of other nations though...
