And not likely to speed up, now that the combat calcs seem to be coming seriously into play.

...DOES THIS MEAN I CAN FINALLY READ RUCHEL'S DIARY?! WE CAPTURED THAT, RIGHT!?

NO PEEKING!!

:knuppel2:

That said, when thinking what I might have at for the next one.  Having just bathed in that battle for three days, and truly seen what it entailed, I'm less inclined...

You didn't know? My Corps has already sailed to Berlin. We got there 3 days ago and we've been in the Tiergarten on the piss ever since. -- Marshal Soult, October 1806

That's a rate of 2.5 months per day

...or flipping it
9.6 in-game hours per modern real-life month.

And we're back!!

An incredible time spent at the battlefields and in the battle space.

I will say this much, I (and my wife) spent a lot of time surveying the ground between the battlefields and movement off-road in Thuringia would have been no joke.  The terrain around Erfurt particularly is brutal.

I can only agree with those historians who do not understand why Hohenlohe did not seek to resist the French at the passes...

Much is now in the hazard.

Men are dying in the fields of Thuringia.

Good Lord! This fighting seems to go by fast!   :)

I'm like that lunatic highlander in "Scotland Forever", grasping a passing bridle and being swept along by the joy of battle...

It's that or whiskey.
