My congratulations on your promotion to Lieutenant!
A position of great responsibility: few men know how to handle iron, fire, and mathematics with such composure… especially when distances shrink and canister begins to whistle.

I wish you well-placed batteries, dry fuses, and disciplined gunners.
As for us, we hope to dodge your cannonballs long enough to reach sabre range…

Until we meet on the battlefield — amid smoke, thunder, and a touch of luck...

Monsieur le Lieutenant Mike Laabs.

It is with professional Respekt that I note the orders from the Imperial Headquarters regarding your Beförderung (promotion).

While I naturally dread the moment your batteries unlimber against my position, I must salute the skill required to command such Feuerkraft (firepower).

Enjoy your new rank, Monsieur. When the Donner (thunder) of the IV Corps begins, we shall see if your aim remains true against the Kaiser's troops.

Glückwunsch! (Congratulations!)

Congratulations on your promotion to Lieutenant! The allies have started retreating when they heard the announcement!

Now off to my Chateau with my mister on one arm and my barmaid on the other! One must have love before war!
