Monarch was Gustavus IV (hope I didn't butcher his name). Now, for the war.... darn... one of those bloody #Coalition wars no doubt. Guess I only get half credit. I'll hazard, the War in the Baltic.

Yes! The Finnish War!, fought vs Russia!

Now that was quick. Scott Ludwig will furnish you with a medal for your quick accomplishment.

<medal ceremony>

"In recognition for your fine job in answering the quiz I hereby award you the Preussiche Das Boot Medal (its a huge boat suspended on the ribbon)," intones Herr Ludwig.

"Er, thanks sir!" (as Todd topples forward!)

Hey, at least Todd has the means to breath underwater now. I am assuming that the Snorkel on the Untersee Boot is functional.

I believe it is a historical record that Napoleon turned down the offer of an inventor who had the designs of an actual submarine. Another in a line of what if's .

With plenty of hot air he was not in need of any underwater breathing apparatus.

I believe the submarine was designed to approach an enemy ship and attach a mine or some kind of bomb to the vessel, and Nappy thought it was too dangerous, or some such...
As for hot air, that could relate to the balloon observation corps that he disbanded (having been formed by Carnot...).

What terrible day, feel like Blucher at Jena! No one gets any medals!!

I loath to go back to my job tomorrow, which I used to call the pit, but will now be referred to as the Black Hole of Calcutta!

Give me some East Prussian Swamp Vodka!

The Tirailleur, walking by the table where sits the Mad Prussian, offers this suggestion to go with the libations of East Prussian Swamp vodka, "Perhaps you could summon the Shrike to shriek you a tune..."

Indeed, most welcomed....

Was Napoleon a Japanese Descendant!

Well the US Govt. is always looking for some terrorist operative - good rewards paid. Maybe a new line of work is what you need?

I was bummed when the SEALS got Bin Laden - I was really looking to collect the reward! Think of all of the miniatures it would have bought.

Colonel Dumas,
I don't think L'Empereur was by blood, however, perhaps the famous hat he wore is similar to a style worn by the Japanese? The bicone? Bicorne I mean.
Regards,

Dish some lead, and then buy some more with the profits. What a concept!

Cliff was leading SEAL Team 6 that day, but he can't talk about it. I probably just got my phones tapped (again) just for making that comment.
