Good Sir, salute!
I am interested in the comment about the French having it easier in the Jena-Auerstadt game.
You believe it is really easier for the French to win those games when they typically need 10,000 VPs for a minor victory? (the various Six Day battles, with & without Russian reinforcements).

Forget all this blather about battles, did I hear someone was buying the drinks for members of the Guard? I can't believe Helga hasn't placed a tankard in front of me yet!!!!

Baa ha ha, who has need to buy when they can loot the supply trains of the French. My dear Field Marshall Nelms, I offer you one of the finest bottles I aquired on the field of battle! And this if from three different battles! Only the best for one with the Gordon Highlanders!!

Oh, I think I have a song.....

Zehntausend Mann
die zogen ins Manover
Warum, dideldum,
Warum, dideldum,
die zogens in Manover
Das kamen sie.....

Why thank you sir! Maybe if you loosen my tongue enough I'll explain to the finer workings of the salad fork when facing French Hussars.

Indeed I do, have you ever played as the Allies? There are a ton VP's available to the French and Prussians are very brittle. After a turn or two of combat they rout and are easily surrounded and gobbled up. They are also a a cavalry heavy force which means more points for the French and are always very dispersed to begin the big battles. I would be interested to know some data. We used to collect it but I don't believe we still do.
