The West, however, does not have as large a francophone population so we've lagged behind, not really seeing a need for knowledge of the language. Actually I just say this as an excuse to cover that I'm a complete dullard. ;PCurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-83249759276518605632012-08-26T04:55:49.876-06:002012-08-26T04:55:49.876-06:00Brilliant answers Curt! :-)

The thing is not to think of the figures as individual castings of soldiers but of entire units.<br /><br />Yeah, the uniform of the 3rd Hussars while very classic is a bit understated. The 5th would have been excellent with its white pelisse on blue and red. <br /><br />Now, Eva Green in a nicely tailored hussar uniform would be very tasty indeed...

Frankly, I think he's written himself into a corner and doesn't know how to get out (much like the Battlestar Galactica writers). I'm sure it will be up to a battalion of HBO writers to try to make sense of it all.

I realize the wide impact that the Napoleonic wars had on society but the actual effects of the campaigns themselves were localized and small in comparison to the total wars of the past hundred years. They were not wars of annihilation or even of Total Victory but were rather fought for specific aims and goals. Napoleon just seemed to have a lot of aims and goals.<br /><br />Yes, definitely pick up the Warlord Trilogy - its a great interpretation of the Arthurian saga.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-26873551875274413112012-08-25T16:26:45.168-06:002012-08-25T16:26:45.168-06:008 (kind of,) 12, 13 , 19 same answers - spooky!
