Should France push East, Poland will be there and will be a source of eager soldiers. Having an ally in this part of the continent is an asset, not a liability. Since we will probably always be at odds with Prussia, Austria and Russia, looking for their weak points (the Poles) will be inevitable. However, we will do so once we need to do so. To march into Poland for Poland's sake alone (as the vote proposed) would be suicidal.
The blue saltire on a white field is the St. Andrew's flag that the Russian navy used. So I guess both are St. Andrew's crosses. I've never seen this done before though. Perhaps the English are just stupid and need French rule?I'm hoping to have my latest assessment submitted tonight, so hopefully the next update should be tomorrow or the day after. In the meantime, there's something I found while doing research that I've been puzzled by and I wanted to get a second opinion:
Am I missing something, or did the Brits get the colour of their own flag wrong? Like, the Scottish Cross is meant to be white, not blue, right?
Sadly, it's a clear fake. After all, British people can't read.
Looks like author was so deranged by Napoleon that he forgot the correct colour's of his countries flag. That does not look like any naval flag for Britain. To me as well. Just looks like he just put the Scottish saltire over the English cross, maybe a subconscious act of saying English are superior to scots?I'm hoping to have my latest assessment submitted tonight, so hopefully the next update should be tomorrow or the day after.

Could this be an early example of a propaganda artist not getting images correct?
Sadly, Europe is now under invasion from Africa and Middle East. A reverse colonialism, you can call it.
No. No, it isn't and no, you can't.
Let's not bring modern politics to the thread.
AvidFicReader has the right of it - Britain doesn't recognise the Republique Francaise as a legitimate government. Therefore, it can't have diplomats. As the caretakers of the 'legitimate government', they've arrested the 'criminals'. The results, unfortunately, of a crit fail on Egalite's diplomacy roll.Ah, but the British have the legitimate government of France as their guests, these so-called diplomats are obviously from an illegal government that has set itself up in France!
The expedition to Sardinia has ended in rousing success...but the revolutionary wars in Europe continue.
In real life, in July 1793, Captain Bonaparte was placed under the command of General Jean-Baptiste Carteaux. Soon afterward, the young Bonaparte found himself participating in the Siege of Toulon.
People who say that being a political leader or a corporate CEO means you sit with your feet up on a desk doing nothing all day while everyone else does the work. That really isn't the case. Yes, they are positions of power, but also of immense responsibility.
There are so many cases of a faction overthrowing a ruling regime only to find itself unable to build a functioning government afterward.
They should form a union!
Angioy had better not become a tyrant...
There are people who say they don't like fistfights in parliaments. I like fistfights in parliaments! Better that than everyone standing up to applaud the Supreme Leader, sitting in silence while he talks, then standing up and applauding again, in every so-called debate and voting session.
It is up to the Sardinian people what they want to do. For better or worse, they are their own country now.
Oh no, they must now pay taxes like everyone else. How awful.
Napoleon would abuse the hell out of an isekai setting with video game traits.
They were just civilians not long ago. Now they can proudly say that they gave their blood to make the world a slightly better place.
Napoleon's addresses to the Army of Italy and later to the Grande Armee are magnificent. (looks at the Egyptian Expedition) Ignore that.
What commander in their right mind in this day and age doesn't hire professional doctors to accompany their military?
Warfare in the Age of Sail. There aren't enough movies or TV shows of it.
Napoleon is not the same man he was when he left for Corsica.
Well done, Treguet. The seas of Europe must be kept safe for France.
Treguet seems to be genuinely grateful...but there are no friends in this game.
This is just the beginning for Napoleon. Just the beginning. There will be more fighting, more struggles, more frustration and more losses. He must keep improving his skills, developing new ones. He cannot sit on his laurels.
French.
Robespierre in this story died a hero, one hundred percent. He was happy to go to the guillotine in that manner; he got exactly what he wanted. In his last words, he declared that the revolution has only just started. And in my opinion he may well be proven correct.
Tread carefully, Napoleon. The National Convention is pleased with your success in Sardinia, but if you fail in the Netherlands...
That scene with Saint Just, in which he quietly studies and scrutinizes you...I say again; Saint Just makes Robespierre look merciful.
I want to see Gauloise become THE senior NCO of France.
The Netherlands is OP. Plz nerf.
I wonder if the Dutch still remember Dumouriez with fondness, or if they were horrified by what his men did in Paris.
Of all the people he could have chosen, he chose Napoleon. Why is that?
Napoleon frowns in slight annoyance (Napoleon's own handwriting was atrocious. It was so bad that Berthier often wrote orders for him instead)
Alas for Dumas, the people of this Quest have voted, and Napoleon won't be accompanying him into Italy.
I'm curious of the relationship between Andre and his brother.
Paddy's Lamentation.
In my opinion the Irish make for both great heroes and antagonists.
(looks at the Troubles) The Irish Republican Army and the Ulster Volunteer Force.
Every choice Napoleon makes has consequences. Lord Fitzgerald is unlikely to forget that you refused to take up his offer to assist in an attempt to free Ireland from the English.
In my opinion, the Middle-Eastern version of Poland is Kurdistan. Sucks to be the Kurds...but who knows; maybe one day they would reclaim their state.
Poland's best and most trustworthy neighbor is the sea.
Tsars need wars to stay in power. They cannot stop having wars. If they stop, they die. It's a fascinating aspect of Russian history that I want to learn more about.
Conscripting POWs into your army. What Could Possibly Go Wrong.
No, Poniatowski. You need far more than that. And you know it.
Wait 'til Napoleon tries Georgian food.
I'm scared now.
"French is a waste of time!"
'Load. Aim. Shoot.'
Oh, no. Tjf, you're doing this just to scare me, aren't you?
Talleyrand is such a scumbag. Seriously.
Talleyrand one hundred percent is in collusion with France's enemies. He has no loyalty to anyone or anything. There are people who say he does have loyalty to France. I'm not so sure of that. The man is corrupt to the bone.
Napoleon of Another World, by CJ Spencer.
Alright then. So there is a lot that Napoleon can and must get done before he returns to the battlefield once more.
Always learn who the enemy's Chief-Of-Staff is; who is in charge of supplies, logistics, communications.
All eyes are on Italy now, with the Netherlands and Germany looking to be the sideshow.
He really is.
I just don't see this working...
This is the one I voted for. Maybe next time.
I want Dutch and German people in this Quest waving tricolor flags.
There was a very good argument for this one, and it ended up coming in second in the vote. I like to think of it as Napoleon seriously considering going to India, before deciding that he will accept Moreau's offer instead. He may pen a letter to the Indian representative, stating he is very interested but cannot accept for now due to France being under threat from its own neighbors.
I doubt that. At least not yet. France is doing too well. Talleyrand would not turn against her unless she was pretty clearly losing. That man wants to be on the side of the Victor, whoever that may be. He's not gonna risk the Guillotine just to commit betrayal for betrayals sake. He's not an idiot.
In 1807 he sold military secrets to the Austrians for cash.
Even so, France JUST survived a Royalist Coup and the Republic is extra vigilant for Traitors right now.
