Sempai noticed us!

Anyway. I'm tempted to spread votes between artillery and infantry, and maybe try to give cavalry as little votes as possible? It would probably play to our strengths more - though I admit it might make us dangerously overspecialized.
 
Honestly considering that we are more than definitely going to be a straight up defensive general I have to say and pardon my french fuck the cavalry go 50 50 artillery and infantry. Go straight up "I am fortifying this position and nothing will move me."
 
[X] ...the artillery leveled the enemy advance...

I know next to nothing about artillery, so considering we are going with a defensive build, it'll be handy being proficient in the equipment that works well at a standpoint.
 
If we can't stop Napoleon from going into Russia, then going defensive is going to be insanely difficult. The Russian peasantry burned their fields, so food will be a major issue. We either have to keep Napoleon from even going on that disaster of a campaign, or mitigate the damage.

Now if only I knew how we could do that...

[X] ...the cavalry harassed the enemy infantry while our own men retreated to the slope of the hill...

We must be prepared for any eventuality.
 
[X] ...the artillery leveled the enemy advance...

Let Napoleon and others handle infantry work. All we need are Cannons, Cannons, and More Cannons. If you get enough firing at once then why fear the enemy infantry at all? :V
 
Ok, so once the bonuses of the previous vote will be taken into account, that means we'll have a starting 7 in infantry and a 11 in artillery. Ideally, it'd be nice to bump artillery to 15 and infantry to 10. With a single point in cavalry to not have penalties with it, that leaves two 'free' points.

[X] ...the infantry held the flanks as the artillery moved up Valmy Hill...
 
[X] ...the artillery leveled the enemy advance...

Seeing as cavalry has already been voted for, I'll go for artillery, as it is our highest stat out of what we have currently. It's best to be at least adverage (+0 Modifier) at everything, but ridiculously skilled in a specific area. When we get high enough in command to get underlings, we can delegate what we are not specialized at to them.

The cavalry will make short work of our many cannons without meat shields to protect them.

Casting my vote for [x] the infantry held the flanks as the artillery moved up Valmy Hill.

Have the infantry be our main meat shield unit while cannons blast the enemy and demoralize them.

I believe Napoleon was actually 5'7
He was actually a bit above the average height of his day

I'm gonna chalk it up to:
  • Therese is a tall grill
  • Napoleon had tall soldiers with him
  • Napoleon and therese were far apart from each other when their eyes met.
  • Napoleon was leaning like one of those anime guys in the background going "heh. Not bad, kid."
 
[X] ...the artillery leveled the enemy advance...
Artillery wins wars. A 5-4-1 split for Arty, Infantry, and Cavalry is going to be a bit risky, but if we're specializing in defense, we may as well go all the way.
 
[X] ...the artillery leveled the enemy advance...

Speaking of which, how tall is Therese anyway?
 
If Napoleon was 5'7" and good ol Therese is taller then my headcannon is that she's 6'9". Why? Cause I want to imagine a blushing Napoleon.

Also, Therese X Napoleon when? I'll write an omake if I have to.
