Haha - nice Mark....I guess it has....

We are actually expecting ice by me come tomorrow night and this area probably resembles a bit of Hell itself.

Thanks John & Al and indeed Hakan we are on the same side now.
So I am back, I actually only intended to be out for a few months when I originally took a break. Then decided I'd try for a year at least. My sabre keep rattling on the wall it was hanging on though. It wanted new conquests, new frontiers and a new way.....

I had a vision, Napoleon came and spoke to me as I slept in my Silesian estates. He mentioned of a glory where France and Prussia in the far far future would be good friends and control the power of Europe together in many ways. Shoving the English pig dog aside and all of her pompous glory....a world where my beloved Prussia would not exist and some German nation would....he said it'd happen sooner than I knew it. That my beloved Prussia's zenith would come and go before a flash. But France would endure he said....the ideals of the Revolution would go on and real freedom would only come to my Beloved Prussia if I drew my sword and raised it for France! So here I am!

I accepted that task from him.....he said my descendants would come to power and be true heroes for all of Europe....only if I fought with him!

Lol good story huh!

The real truth is I did only expect to be away a few months. Thought I could extend that to a year, but hey I miss you all and I read the forum every day, so why not be involved still. Honestly I needed a short break to recharge my engines, rest up a bit and come back fresh. I thought I'd go home to Prussia, but decided against it. Thought I'd try my hand at a new challenge and accept command with he French. No transfer or anything....fresh from the bottom and make everything count for my new French record.
Long ago when I ran the iNWC I was the French CiC and I really did love it and I loved much of what the French Army was about, for better or for worse....plus they are the side to be with right now....they are pretty on fire these days....
