Now concerning what you just said Monsieur Andy why is it that I can't get more Frenchmen to play the big games. the way I see it the allies numbers mean very little if they can't get their armies together! |

Todd you are one of a few who will play these big games and win but a lot of the Generals say the games are to long or the 2-1 avenge is to great to overcome. Every thing you said is true ! But my question was WHY do the French cry about 2-1 odds |

Every thing you said is true ! But my question was WHY do the French cry about 2-1 odds? Because not even Napoleon would have much chance of success in a pitched battle with 1-2 odds against him. I can think of only one battle where such odds were nearly that, at Dresden. And the French success in that several day engagement was based on a superb defensive position in and around that city, and it was the terrain itself, and the advantage the French took of it that helped provide the French victory. The terrain effectively divided the Coalition army into fragmented sections that were unable to support one another, and the French concentrated superior strength against each sector in successive phases of operations.

I know of very few Allied officers who have won 1815 battles and very few have played the big ones. Now that Prussian officers who congrads to FM Pierre most know that he was the founder of this club and one of the most out standing Commanders in this in other clubs if you can beat him you are truly a great technical knowledge. I would congratulate any officer on any side who plays FM Pierre. |

Gentlemen You will all enjoy the UK next year and as you depart that famous London railway station you will not have to ponder too long to know why it is named thus. Reality Check

Or even worse you could live in a city named after the Iron Duke himself. Where you near by towns include Picton and Nelson and the main railway hub share's the name of the station Jim refers to. Water something. Of course if you grew too weary you could move to Malborough a famous wine region and stay in the capital Blenheim. Or perhaps stay in our city and move to the nearby street Maadi place. Oh the colonies! At least the All Blacks keep the old foe honest. |
