Holy shit, what a freaking time to be married. Not a criticism, just, holy shit.

Should have definitely said not yet. We could have waited till after the bloody war. Napoleon should have proposed to us in the heat of battle. That coward

But then there would be the possibility of us dying... and then the quest might end.
I mean, starting off a war with a marriage at the top is a time honored tradition, great for morale at all levels. Shows real unity ya know.

Well, we might as well get some men married to their sweethearts in Paris...

Hoo boy, excellent results for Paris and decent results for the Rhine (though it was a blood bath. At least the Prussians lost more permanently.) and Spain. Naples went well, and Davout can countermarch to deal with the Austrians. The Batavia situation is pretty dire, but we do have a hundred thousand plus troops now no longer dealing with the civil war to reinforce. Might write a bit about Naples and Charlotte what with their good rolls.

Thinking about it, I wonder if we could grab some currently unassigned troops and combine them with our reserve troops to form IV Corps (or whatever number it's at now, if the corps system has spread) to bring up our number of independent units? Also wondering if we should reorganize the Bridge Guards into a reinforced division (they're officially an understrength corps with two infantry and one cavalry division with two battalions of riflemen) or bring up their numbers to proper corps strength. Though with the declaration of the Empire of the French, perhaps they can by Division/Corps Mayence of the Imperial Guard? I'm sure Napoleon's 15k Consular Guard has become the core of the Imperial Guard by now.

The Corps System that we developed with De Lisle and Birther has not spread into the Army yet, as many of it's architects are still in combat roles, and we are still at war, unable to do a proper reorginization.

...I was so convinced that they were going to off themselves.
Also, there's still Laguna Guatavita, the lake where it all began. I think there's something like a couple hundred thousand dollars [in today's money] down at the bottom of the lake that was never properly excavated in our timeline...enterprising young Conquistador finally managed it in this timeline?
There's also the potential they learn the secret to terra preta, and that allows them to become the agricultural powerhouse of the world.
Go for Prussia too, and so the French can finally reclaim the HRE back from the Germans and reunite the HRE under French arms as Charlemagne would have wanted.

Well Cyber said no memes, so no memes.
We actually are coming up with several scenarios for this situation... including an empire in New Spain, now that there is basically no defense in Spain proper to defend it due to all the rebellions.
A New Spain that is united and an Agricultural super power?
I'll tell Cyber.
Now we have a True Holy Roman Empire!
A Frankish Holy Roman Emprie!

So, the Rhine frontier holds, but the Netherlands front has all but collapsed. This seems familiar. Whyever could that be, I wonder? /S
Well, we're already wounded this time, let's try not to get hurt a fourth time, like at Amiens.

Can we even afford to lead with such a big malus? It seems like we'd just be a handicap on the army as opposed to just ourselves.So, the Rhine frontier holds, but the Netherlands front has all but collapsed. This seems familiar.

We can send Kleber and Dumas, iirc Kleber has experience fighting in the region from the War of the First Coalition. We can sit back with our Reserve Corps with Chamans, de Lisle, Marmont and Berthier and act as a reserve. We can use some of the men from the Army of the North to combine with the 15k of the Reserve Corps and create IV Corps. We can send the rest of what remains with the Army of the North to plug the Batavian front. De Lisle is our chief of staff, Berthier is our quartermaster general and not an outstanding commander, we're keeping Chamans on a tight leash after Messina, and Marmont has a malus when not under our direct command.

Now we have a True Holy Roman Empire!
A Frankish Holy Roman Emprie!
If we can take Spain and maybe, just maybe Morocco, Libya and Tunisia to stop Barbaru Piracy and such...
Britain is a dream.
We can declare for Western Roman Empire.

"We, the Barbarians of old, have proven ourselves to be the true successors to the Western Roman Empire! Not the Italians, not the Iberians, not our German cousins and definitely not the British; where they have all failed we alone have stayed strong in the face of adversity, we alone have preserved. No longer are we the desperate tribes of a fallen Rome, but a unified people of Rome Ascendant!"
