Mud would show up more on white uniforms rather than indigo uniforms, yes?

The Conseil d'Etat discussed a colour of the Grand Armee's colours, as indigo dye was expensive and was shipped from Britain. Napoleon said: "It would be no small economy to dress the troops in white, though it may be said, truly enough, that they have succeeded pretty well in blue. I don't think, however, that their strength lies in the colours of their coats, as that of Samson did with the length of his hair." Other considerations against having white uniforms were how filthy they could get during campaign and the blood they'd show . It was just a failed experiment to cope with the hard-to-come-by indigo dye.

Hmm, well I'm finished my exams for now.

I have an English one sometime in two weeks time, and perhaps a computer science one. I can finish my report tomorrow, or Saturday.

And they blame Trump for saying that he wouldn't accept the election outcome.
Sigh, why can't people accept the result of a presidential election?

Two weeks have passed since the last update so, just out of curiosity, when approximately could we expect another update? Have you, Volk, already received orders from all players?

I have not had time to give any orders so far as I'm currently taking three exams per week.

Same. I have two.

Napoleon was Corsican, not Sicilian.

By the way, I won't be able to work my plans until Friday - I have a lot of exams in my school which are important.

I know.
It's to insult him

so if being Sicilian is an insult, then how do you feel about Naples?

A useless place

you hear that bondage? Prussia called you useless

Id like to hear him talk so lowly of Naples when his ruler turns up dead, ten cocks found in ass

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

King George III, Elector of Hanover, does not recognise this so-called Confederation as long as the Electorate of Hanover is included within its borders.
