They have a lot of time on their hands because they are afraid to take to the field against us

As my title includes this great victory I must post and thank Marechal Jensen for his post.
Austerlitz was Napoleon's greatest victory and very aesthetic when it comes to operational excellence.

It remains my favourite battle of the series as it is very even. I have played both sides.
When I have more time I still intend to post a detailed analysis of it. It really is fascinating.

All kidding aside I think Marechal Jensen Post was pointing out an important day in French History and somethings should not be made into jokes. There a lot of days in American, English, German, Russian and many more countries' histories that should not be made into a joke. Yes, Napoleon was not perfect, but I can say none of his adversaries were either. I for one do not make fun on them and pointed this out in previous post. Napoleon and yes his Genius as a leader enabled him to rise to the levels he achieved and his ego brought him down, nothing else.

In a recent MP battle we lost Napoleon to our foes, well that is something to make fun of, the recent drubbing that I another LGA officers received from two allied officers is another, well that one does not bother me all that much, we were defeated by two of the best. So have fun with that and give the Old Boney a break. (Old Boney was said with affection for the Napoleonic Myth)

And I am sorry I took the bate and responded to the jabs and tomorrow is another day.

I am not being thin skinned it is just how I feel about the Anniversary Of Austerlitz.

Battle On....

John,
The facts of the matter are that currently i am engaged against 2 French Marechals and Roy Purcell and Warren Bajan. Hardly what anyone would call being scared.

Roy to answer your question, The Prussian General Staff has an extensive dossier on Napoleon. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I have to agree that was pretty Shi***. I understand that Napoleon was a major threat, and one never easily contained, but he deserved much better than arsenic laced tea. :evil: :evil: :evil:
