Oh, no no no no. I have very special plans for your cavalry. :) Very special plans, indeed.


My great-great-great grandfather Loup "Face de Cul" Lalance was a proud survivor of the victory at Agincourt, whereupon our glorious cavalry smashed through the cowardly Italian crossbowmen. With enough Élan our Cuirassiers will overcome the Boche!

The Commandant seems to have left a survey on his desk, so I made myself a copy while I was cleaning away the bottles of Beaujolais and Calvados.

1. How do you feel the planning for this battle has gone, in general?

The Commandant was swearing tons, and I estimate he spent twice his usual monthly bottle budget over the last forty eight hours. Though I am no choir boy, I have learnt new curses from each of the département of France when the leadership of the cent vingtième went AWOL.

3. How confident are you in fulfilling the various objectives set by the Army Commander?

With god's help the supply line will hold and the commander's chef will be able to deliver his hot meals on time.

5. Thinking optimistically, what do you think the likely result of the battle will be?

Glorious victory over the Boche, with myself and the commandant chasing them back to Berlin

6. Thinking pessimistically, what do you think the likely result of the battle will be?

Glorious victory, with myself unable to take any sort of credit. Possibly being passed over for the Légion d'Honneur.

I'm crying tears of joy mon général; what a dashing figure our cavalry makes as it slaughters the boche. I will be writing an article for the staff college about how this action has clearly demonstrated that the Japanese at port Arthur lacked both sufficient Elan and cavalry. I will also be arguing for more lancers and cuirassiers, for it is clear that this machine gun is a false threat.
