I believe you had a lot of help, from Mother Nature and the Russian Winter and of course a few Russians, Englishmen, many others and even a few Hanoverians!

Battle On...

So why not stop by the LGA Headquarters and join the Emperor Napoleon and the La Grande Armee who started all this fun!

Battle On some more....

You forget plenty of Austrians too, a dysfunctional French Maréchaux and an overzealous French Emperor... :P

After all Prussia was key in the ending of his reign in 1814 & 15 and the defining forces in his defeats in at Leipzig and Waterloo. 2 of the 3 key battles of the war. Our leaders did not betray and run away from our dying men to save themselves the way Ol Boney did, not once, not twice, but three times! :P

Hanoverians, hahaha! The KGL was far better than the Hanoverians. They just ran in battle and the futures are short lived anyway as a free country.... ;)

I do tip my hat to the English line and horses as well as the Russians! :)

Btw - Nappy & the LGA did not start this fun, I believe a mob in Paris beheading the King did..... :mrgreen:

All in Good Fun, of course, Al! :)

Scott,

Your reply was to be expected! but I think we had or someone else had this same discussion many times before and I am sure we will again. If I remember correctly at one time in another imaginary world your persona was Maréchal Davout?

Battle On...

Hehehe, this is always a great discussion and indeed, I was the Iron Marshall at the iNWC, though not as talented in the field as him. :mrgreen: Why do you think I wished Nappy a Happy Birthday..... :wink:

I have to admit that I have NO answer for that one...

It's better anyway to join the French army: better pay, better uniforms and the girls do like us, we don't have to pay like in some other armies to get a bunch girls. :P :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

So you just copy the French (Remember 1806 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: )?

Why go for the copy when you can get the original :wink:
