Bordeaux Falls

Friends!! as predicted Bordeaux has fallen to our troops!!

Though we sustained some injuries we had no fatalities at all, the skills of the Royal Spanish Artillery regiment 8 brigades strong utterly smashed the defenders prior to two successful cavalry charges.

Please my friends join us in our celebrations, let us give thanks to God for speeding us to our victory!!

Belfort and Lyons Fall to Advancing Austrian Army!!!

My Brothers-in-Arms:

The Austrian empire has wonderful news to report. Two French cities have fallen to Austrian Hussars!!! First, Belfort succumed to an Austrian bombardment and Hussars charge converging from points north and southeast of Belfort. Next an attack on Lyons was launched, without any artillery support, from the mountains of Northwest Italy. Two campaigns and two French cities in the bag!!!

A terrible price was extracted by those French dogs. Two regiments of Hussars have been destroyed by French Imperial Cavalry and one regiment of Hussars was a total loss in the assault on Belfort.

An assault on Orleans is in the works -- with an anticipated campaign kickoff by the end of 1801. I don't believe the French empire will make it past 1802! Success is ours, my allies!

I'll be back sunday, but only for the night, I'll be away for a week after that.

I am happy to leave this until your return. The reason being that I believe that we have Boneparte on the run, and it would be good if we were all here for it. Looks like we got to France far too quickly... or to quote Sir Ralph, Napoleon never had a chance against the 6 of us.

Can we please have everyones opinions on leaving the game for Lord Bongo's return, and we will take the highest count.

[Wittlich]

Sure, I say wait for Bongo's return.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I am happy to wait for Bongo to come back

[Shogun Gunner]

I agree, we've gone this far together, we should finish together.

Just home for the night, save has been sent to Rey Chrisius.


I have now made a second landing close to Oslo, 8 units per stack. They will rendezvous outside Oslo next turn and attack the turn after that.

King Paddy, I notice your troops in swedish territory has taken a beating. They are welcome to heal in denmark where the situation is almost quiet now. Copenhagen is the only city where the french show some resistance.

As we view the maps most recently drawn of europe, we see with joy that Napoleans holdings are shrinking fast.

Shogun Gunner congratulations on your recent victories and know that your people are in our prayers, espescially those who have lost loved ones to this conflict.

Sultan Wittlich, how are things with the troop transportations. What is your ETA to the region, and would you like any assiatance when you arrive.

King Paddy we intend to move North alond the coast as before discussed, please let us know if this is of best use of our forces.

Good luck to one and all in your upcoming adventures

[Wittlich]

My forces are arriving now.

Jan 1802 AD to Paddy.

Not much to report. Thank you King Paddy for Valence! Announcing a new offensive being launched in Jan/Feb 1802 against Orleans.

Austrian diplomats predict a mid 1802 total collapse of France. We should consider the post-war reconstruction, my allies.

Jan 1802 on to the Iron Prince

[bongo]

A third, smaller landing has been made outside of Oslo. A total of 20 units are ready to attack next turn.

Oh, a small stack has also left Hannover. They are only having a field day got bored I guess

[Shogun Gunner]
