Erckmann-Chatrian - Histoire d’un conscrit de 1813
Is a good book, sadly I don't know the english title.

Why is it that news stations always find the party pooper and shits all over the event?
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...

You should try for Waterloo.

Duuring, Vorposten told me you fought in a Landwehr Regiment, what regiment was it and do you have a picture? Because at we often faced some landwehr regiments yesterday.

1st Section, 1st Company (Züg), 3rd Batallion. East-Prussian Landwehr (Red distictions). We didn't face any Bavarians.
In fact, we faced only some Poles and Tirailleurs at the start of the battle. Every time we crossed the Bridges, our company was stacked in the 2nd line and didn't fire or face the enemy. I didn't have a musket, but the ones who did fired no more then 8 shots. The first line shot over 20. Apart from that, great event, worth all the effort and money ten times over.

Pictures? Just wait a while, pictures will soon be showing up on facebook  :P

I really recommend the memoirs of Baron de Marbot
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

I meant the 'European Nation' thing. It's pretty insulting.
