Didn't know all that about you Scott. I'm very jealous, I have to work at something I don't love so I can play at those things I do love. Oh, well retirement is not so far off now.

If I may make note of the painting, it shows another secret French weapon. What were they feeding that horse? When he broke wind it took out 5 or 6 soldiers and another horse!

Is it just me, or do Scott's foregoing comments sound like an Ad Campaign?

It is as simple as Google, Ed. Look back at my post entitled "Opelchenie Ambush". I think it will look familiar, although I actually took the time to customize the artwork for humorous effect. There is a lot more effort required in that that than simply locating something via a Search Engine and posting the image between two tags.

Hey, now I sound like an Ad Campaign (albeit a much abridged version).

And I've done plenty of custom art over the years as well.....

Google isn't the end all be all, it is a good starting point, but you have to branch out from there to other websites et al. I've seen plenty examples of people mislabeling things on a website, because they don't know what they are looking at and others have duplicated that error. That's the failure of a system like Google.

Sorry if I sound like an ad campaign and no I am not running for any office, but I am proud of what I learned from those who have taught me over the years and am more than willing to share things with others....

There are plenty of others out there too with sharable knowledge. I learned a lot from some Russians in the Club. You should research their officer corps in the Wars sometime. IMO the best officer corps of the Wars.

Wait a minute, did I just understand you to say that you believe the Russians had the best officer corps in the war? I have heard you make the same comment about the Prussian officer corps. I see a disturbing inconsistency here.

I believe I have often mentioned the Prussians had the best high level commanders, DC's & BC's are a mixed bag.

The Russians had some truly talented men....
