We all know that Waterloo was an aberration of unfortunate, fateful, one off, unbelievable amount of comedy of errors by all involved!

The Allies stumbled into a victory after French overconfidence and 'sangfroid' (sp?) of subordinate officer's undid the Emperor's brilliance!! :mrgreen:

Ah, I see. A series of unfortunate events. Not to the credit of France's talented adversaries. Just blind luck. Hmmmm.... An interesting perspective. Definitely not healthy. I find it best to acknowledge the great ability of my opponents, and then drive myself to exceed them.

I guess that makes me driven. At least Miss Daisy will not lack for company. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Waterloo? Defeat?


Sorry, not familiar with that one. As we all know, the Empire stands at the pinnacle of greatness, having defeated all comers in every campaign the evil coalition has forced upon us.

The French won many victories because of their Eclairurs, a lession they learned in the French and Indian wars in North America.
