Post subject: | Laurels to Marechals Paco and Tomasz |
Gentlemen: Fill your glasses and toast two grand Marechals of the French Armee, Paco and Tomasz. These talented Marechals have defeated Lt. Gen. Mark Nelms and myself in both halves of a mirror match as part of the Guards Challenge. We fought a version of the battle of Eckmuhl and could not stand before the armies of these generals. [:(] So raise your mugs and drink to their health! I will have to win their batons on some other field on some other day. [;)] Something I have never done with either of them. FM Sir 'Muddy' Jones, KG 2nd Life Guards, Household Cavalry |

Yes, I have to tip my hat to these Gentlemen also. Though I think Sir Muddy would have done better by himself then with his partner. Perhaps I should have spent more time looking at the map then for my lost liquor shipment. Lt. General Sir Mark Nelms K.G. 1st Regiment of Foot Guards |

Maréchals vs, Admirals ... the Allies seem to do better at SEA! If we could only lure the French army to try and cross the Channel!

Mssrs., It was a VERY hard fought encounter and Sir Muddy and Lt. General Nelms do themselves a diservice to imply that we simply rolled over them. For instance, in the 2nd match, when Tomasz & I commanded the Austrian forces, they methodically dismembered <i>en detaille </i>the 3rd & 4th Army Korps under my command despite all my best efforts to the contrary.[B)] But for a few key defensive stands, which inflicted grievious damage on their cavalry, the battle could have had a very different outcome. The butcher's bill should give you an indication just how tough this battle was: Inf- 65,691F/64,279A; Cav - 18,188 F/ 8,328 A; Arty - 70 F/ 169 A; Leaders - 54 F/ 37 A. So please, charge your glasses in honor of two gallant members of His Britanic Majesty's forces. Regards, Paco <i>Maréchal</i> M. Francisco Palomo <i>Prince d'Essling, Grande Duc d'Abrantes et Comte de Marseille Commandant - Division de Cavalerie de la Vieille Garde </i> ![]() |
