On the Road to Moscow I met an Englishman

[Paddy]

Today is the fourth day of the first month of the year Eighteen hundred.

Today I rose early, as is my way, wandered the grounds with my hounds Thrillus and Lobo.

Today I lunched early with my beloved lady.

Today is the day that my Generals and senior staff met in my map room.

For today is the day I decided that we must crush Russia beneath my boots....

Who am I you may well ask?


I am Napoleon


..... vive la france.....

[ChrisiusMaximus]

so many troops to move, I almost forgot about this thread

March 1800 and all is quiet

[ChrisiusMaximus]

May 1800 and still peace remains for now. Our naval assets are busily heading to the Baltic region in preparation to blockade the area

[Paddy]

Now there must be a song about Cathie being the warring mungrel ***** that she is

my lads are chanting:

'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'

so much so that Spain and Austria have both seem to be closing their borders and with drawing embassy staff..

'hey cathie...'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'
'we're coming to getya'

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Soon they will all know the wrath of France Muh ha ha ha

Its September of 1800 my good man

[Paddy]

September 1800

General Davout his Cuirassier Army andseveral divisions of foot stand ready to march on Frankfurt

[ChrisiusMaximus]

well good luck in your endevours my good man, we will support as soon as we have enough cavalry tp ship to holland,

as November approaches there is a chill in the air and the winds of war are blowing.

[Paddy]

ahh the sweet smell of the winds of war

throughout Davouts Army word was trickling that Napoleon would not be with them for the war...

That the tides of office were taking there toll, and that the Empire developed more clerks than soldiers...

For yes, Napoleon and his Guard were in Paris this day, working clearing and preparing...

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Ha let them chatter, all those who think they know better than you or I

For we walk in footsteps of greatness my good man

The snows of January lay all about on the frozen ground.

[Paddy]

Who ever could have known what the Emperor was up to...

For from Brussells march 3 Divisions of Heavy Cavalry (in red)

The Legion de Cuirassier
The 5th Legion de Cuirassier
The 13th Legion de Cuirassier

all honourable units of the Old Guard.

and leading them, our Emperor, Napoleon.

To the south Davout (in yellow) had moved his forces into Prussia.

Then with the boldness you would expect from a trusted General of Napoleon, he led his own Army of Curassiers on a charge of Frankfurt. Thus allowing the following units time to set there mighty cannon up for the bombardment of the city.

A bonus, a unit of workers (circled), liberated from the Prussian tyrants

[Paddy]

ok so it could help if we shared out secret maps with you along with the information

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Ah your mastery and strategic prowess shows through my good man as a shining example to all men!

March and spring has sprung

[Paddy]

The germanic town on frankfurt has fallen to Davouts men.

Napoleon has led an attack on Hannover...
that city will be rubble soon...

The road to Cathie is being swept by the Power of the French Sabre and Cannon.



oh yes, the clerks arrived in frankfurt, and renamed everything 'Flowers are for peace'

now who knows what that means, but it will surely incense the Prussians

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I have cavalry sent to aid you my good man, now be a good fellow and look after my boys

May Ah the first rays of summer 1801

[Paddy]

I am not sure what her name is... that is confidential
we are french, we have no need to brag of such matters

spain just snubbed a MPP
asked for all tech, all gold,,, everything I had, just so they could rush to my aid...
I am now forming the Armee du South
you know where they are going
I just want to touch them
scratch one of their fine cities... into rubble
