A warm pleasant evening sees Marechal Corbin stroll into the tavern with a young officer in tow.

The young officer had jsut recently signed up for La Grande Armee and was rather surprised to brought here so soon. He looks around nervously.

"Where is everybody sir?" ask Sous Lt. Lo Bue

"Everyone of importance is here young man. Why there sits 2 of our finest officers." Indicating Marechal Bardon and General Knox.

"If you are wondering were the Allied rabble are, they are cleaning the stables and the latrines."

"May we sit with you fine gentlemen?" Asks Marechal Corbin.

"The young man with me has a full purse and I saw Helga tapping a new cask of brandy. Let us drink it before the Suasage eaters get here."

A Hanoverian Lt. Colonel enters the tavern, resplendent in his red coat and gold cords. Glancing around the room, it is impossible to overlook a table full of French Marechals who are seated with a young Sous Lieutenant who he has never seen before. Touching the brim of his hat in a brief salute to his respected adversaries, he continues on to a table occupied by the Quartermaster General of the Prussian Army.

“Guten tag, Herr General,” says the Lt. Colonel. “Mind if I join you?”

“By all means, Oberstleutnant,” replies the great Prussian General as he slides out a chair.

Taking the proffered seat, the Hanoverian officer orders his usual Jagermeister from the beautiful bar maid, Helga. “What do we have here,” says the Lt. Colonel as he nods toward the table occupied by the French officers.

“Well,” says the Prussian General as he leans back in his chair and takes a healthy draught of his beer, “I think these great, French Marechals have finally run out of ideas. It seems that they must now solicit the advice of their Sous Lieutenants to obtain new ones.”

Welcome to the club, Sous Lt. Lo Bue!

The Kronprinz finished his Jagermeister. Looks over to the Hanoverian and says....."Something smells like peacock & perfume...."

"Oh my Colin I didn see you there..... :D My horse is doing well, he's drinking your beer right now...." :twisted:

Welcome Sous Lt. Lo Bue ! Very glad to make your acquaintance.

Pay as little attention to those two (gesturing in the direction of Mssrs. Jones and Ludwig) as possible. They are here a lot and have downed far too many shots of jager to speak coherently as you can see from the way they ramble on.

Cheers!
