Salute!

I came out as Wellington!

All about reverse slopes, baby!

I mean, stand for hours on the forward slope exposed to the dire attention of L'Empereur's beautiful daughters, or remain hidden behind the hill, out of sight, out of mind....

Regards,

I am also Napoleon. Strange that my combat record does not support such a claim :D

Napoleon! :D

You can hide all day long waiting, until you suddenly find that the Grande Armee has marched around your flank and your precious reverse slope is now a very much exposed forward slope. :P

Napoleon versus Wellington. Napoleon versus Wellington. What was the name of that famous field on which they finally faced one another after ten years of war? Oh yes, I remember now. I believe it was called Waterloo, and unless my memory is betraying me, I do seem to recall that Old Nappy lost rather badly that day. :o :shock: :wink:

Tactically, Wellington was superior to Napoleon. All things considered together, Napoleon was undoubtedly the best of them all. 8) 8) 8)

Do be careful as you march blindly around those hills, Marechal Bardon, as you may be inadvertently walking into a cleverly laid trap. :o :shock: :P

Who knows, there might even be a mirror waiting for you when you arrive. :wink: :P :mrgreen:

General Jones, you seemed to have forgotten about General Blucher showing up to win the day for the Duke.

Well I thought my deft use of cutlery in battle would actually say I was one of the great chefs but instead it said I would have been Mikhail Kutuzov

Good grief, I am Napoleon! Now I shall ponder on the ramifications of this revelation... :roll:

No, I actually have not forgotten about the Prussians, but I would submit to you that no general other than Wellington could have held as he did that day with what he had and against those odds long enough for Herr Blucher to arrive.
