I guess the 110 Days Plus or Minus doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily. As a literary device, it is a clever way to describe the overall period of return of Napoleon through the 2nd restoration of Louis XVIII without the necessity of ascribing specific dates. That being said, if I were to assign a start, I'd probably go with the 13th of March, as until then, his re-ascension was very much in doubt. Using the same logic on the other side, I would use the date of the abdication on the 22nd. Between those dates, he was once again l'Empereur. |

Roy, That is way too much math for my brain on a Sunday morning! I read Adkins book on 1814 when I was playtesting that game and I liked it (seemed like maybe it was his dissertation) and the library has his Gettysburg book. And I think he lives in the suburb next to mine. Which makes me awesome... Bu seriously, I wonder where the idea of defining this as the "100 Days" came from? Was it something labeled right after the fact by participants (not necessarily French), or by a historian a few decades later? |

Hi Jim, I think it definitely a historian along the way somewhere but the handle has stuck all this - so I was trying to come up with how they considered the period to be - but as you see lots of open assumptions can be applied |
