Ok, @Magoose is this ok? Also I thought I put the I and the II Corps on this, will need to check tho

I mean, why do we have the III Corps here if we are using them in Messina? Shouldn't we have Davout here instead of Dumas?

II Corps is under Davout, and he was sent to Messina with the reserves, not III Corps.

So, if we're already planning on capturing the Sicilian navy to bolster our fleet, perhaps it might be viable to sacrifice a few larger corvettes as assault transports Operation Chariot style to bring a few assault companies ashore at critical points near the coastal batteries while the majority of III Corps makes landfall in the port.

Are we sure it's wise to let a 10 year old into the fray? Most I say he should be is a drummer boy but sure as hell not one of those holding the guns.

We need to move fast. Amphibious landings are high risk, high reward for a reason, and we cannot heistate.
My advice is gonna be hit the ground and keep fucking moving. Maybe have Adam focus on blasting ships, but otherwise, we need to move and keep moving.

Considering in the Civil War there was a 12 year old who was made a Sargent because even though he was a drummer boy, Rebs tried to capture and kill him.
and Louis is an Ensign?
yeah I'd give him a gun to protect himself.
Or as I like to say: commit to whatever you plan to do.

I feel like there's a survivor bias in there. We know about 1 kid that survived and got promoted, as bizarre as it is to imagine, but what about the thousands of others who didn't? Louis isn't just some random kid, he's a very valuable hostage and negotiating piece, as dehumanizing as that sounds, and he probably shouldn't be in the front lines or in places where the plague isn't just a memory.
Plus, child soldiers aren't exactly a good thing, are they?

Many more died once their regiments were routed and they retreated. I remember reading a few accounts where they were sent to Andersonville. So young soldiers die just as much as the old ones.
As for Louis himself, it's up to you.
They aren't. For many reasons.
But on Louis situation, why let moral duplicity get in the way of a damn fine story...
or punishment for your actions and his own suicidal desire to serve France.

[X] Plan "Victory or Death "
Plan settling the board sees us attacking with only half our troops and then preparing for a long siege. Neither is good at this stage I believe.
De l'audace! Toujours de l'audace!
