Congratulations, Colin. You are most deserving of this great honor. Both Jeff and you are fine gentlemen, fierce opponents, and honorable warriors. I find it extremely fitting that the two of you have been elevated to the positions you now hold. It would be the greatest of honors if you would join me for a drink when you get free, along with your commander.

Thank you all of my friends on both sides - indeed a great honour by which I am humbled.

Don't worry Ed despite my change of role I am keeping Guides uniform in the tradition of Marechal Lannes (my favourite Marechal)

Helga another round here. We need some drinks in the shakey isles.

Salute!

Congratulations, Colin, on your appointment to the command of la Vieille Garde. Well deserved!

Take good care of that lot of grumblers and gods (grognards et dieux).
