Mon General, I just happen to be in the region sporting a game of "Dodge the musket ball" with one of your kind. My thought process is that should I defeat one Frenchman with my left hand and simultaneously defeat another with my right hand, surely King George will recall me immediately and restore any and all honors and embellishments previously bestowed upon me.

If you would be so kind as to have your messenger, preferably a beautiful, yet mindful wench to my just behind the front lines bivouac. It is located at nh260@msn.com

Your countryman's messenger was of the most horrendous looking and smelling rendition of a woman I have ever seen. Certainly not native French, perhaps she was from one of your conquered areas, like the Himalayas. My minds eye is still troubled by that visage.

I eagerly await the details of your challenge and forthcoming surrender.

Your servant,

I've mounted my trusty burro and march a respectful distance behind the front lines. Safety first is my motto! Now if I can only find my battle plan. I had it in a satchel strapped to the saddle. I did notice that damn goat, Lucky Pierre, was chewing on some papers as he followed along. If he ate my plans we will be dining on Goat a la Orange tonight.

Or I could wait until he craps them out. The results of the battle will probably be the same ….

Things grow dire as my right flank collapses and we are only a few turns in. I curse my Cossacks as they bounce off French Heavy cavalry.
We need our spies in Paris to put birth control measures into the city water! My use of lead pills is not working as effectively as I hoped.
