It was the little known WAR ELEPHANT. The British had named theirs NIGEL. The Americans called theirs GATES![8D] |

It refines it to some THING rather than some BODY so I will take a guess: Smallpox! |

It's gotta be the MPs available to routed French infantry. Should be about 32 or so. Frog legs move quickly in reverse. |

<center><font size="6">WINNER! WINNER!</font id="size6"></center> Gary McClellan is right it is CAVALRY! General Braddock marched off to Ft. Duquense with a troop of cavalry in his entourage, Stewart's Light Horse, if I recall correctly. This was in 1755, and I think we know what happened to him at 'the Battle of the Wilderness.' After that neither army had cavalry of any kind (Line, Heavy, Light, Dragoon, Hussar, Lancer, Airmobile) until the French created a Corps of Cavalry in June of 1759. It was two companies strong with about 200 men made up of Canadian Volunteers. It turns out there are Canadians who are good horsemen, who knew? [:p] They fought at the very end of 'the Battle on the Plains of Abraham.' To reacp, during the French and Indian War the Brits had one cavalry unit and the French had one. They never fought each other. The battle the cavalry participated in was lost by the army possessing it, and the general in charge of that side lost his life. Now if we take the above and put it into a rule then no one would want cavalry in thier army, would they? [;)] |
