There I was in my tent trying to have my afternoon "medicine" when the enemy started buzzing around my flanks. Every time I would make a move to repel him on my flanks he would change tactics and make a frontal attack. This maneuver was repeated numerous times but each time we managed to fend them off. Finally I wore my enemy down and he ceased his attacks and assumed a defensive position in front of me. This time I moved both flanks around the bastard and with one sudden smack from those flanks and we smashed the pesky wee lad to death! That good Sirs, is one fly who wont interrupt my "medicine" time again! :frenchlol:

Field Marshall Nelms,

Just another quick note to express thanks from the Prussian troops for eradicating that fly. They are now able to apply ointment without having to worry of having that pesky fly get stuck in it!!!! :scottishduh: :scottishduh: :mrgreen:

Sir, might I suggest that the next time you are plagued by the unwanted advances of a pesky insect you might simply strike him with one of those fine, Blue Bug Mashers that the Emperor of France routinely issues to his Marechals? They are excellent at performing the job for which they were obviously designed, and if you happen to strike them too forcibly against a hard surface, they are very easy to replace. You simply locate one of the numerous Marechals that serve the Corsican Ogre, and relieve him of his baton. I have been told that a good, salad fork is really all you need to compel their compliance.

From your description of the battle we can assume this was not a MP game and thus,all the laurels for this convincing triumph are yours. Congrats!
