Okay that's not too bad, for comparison the rolls that got us into the Northern mess to begin with was a 27
And the only other instances of non single-digit fails were 15's for GB and Prussia
and a 27 for Russia which caused a famine.
So it should be fine unless it's the Vendee roll. In which case...fuck.

I'm starting to think that we should have picked to go to Italy. After all The Austrian General (Joseph Nikolaus Freiherr de Vins) who is in command of the Army in that area wasn't partiularly good at his job. Additionaly, our one-eyed buddy from the Battle of Mainz, Rudolf Fuchs is currently serving in that army.

Le Nouvel État – 1793 3rd Quarter (June-September)
Napoleon: d100 = 31 (Fail), Fate's Interdiction: d100 = 87 (Success)
When Napoleon went southwest to the Vendée, his army was composed of naught but hastily assembled militiamen, with the core being his elite artillery, and a division of the National Guard, under Brian Auclair.
He was either expected to fail or to work a miracle with such limited resources at his disposal. With British forces assisting the royalists, he should not have won the opening move of this dire campaign.
…but he was Napoleon, and "failure" was not in his vocabulary.
On the march to the west, he and General Auclair drilled their men relentlessly, sometimes for a cumulated twenty hours a day, before marching twenty miles to a nearby village or town to rest, only to do it all over again.
The men should have died, mutinied, even deserted to their homes, just to escape the torture that awaited them day after day, but they did not. They trained and marched, and with every village, hamlet and town they went through, their show of force won over those not yet constricted by royalist's hands. They cowed those that were into raising white banners, and to declare for the republic, to be spared from the alternative of destruction.
Once they finally met a royalist army, they fought; the aristocratic pawns, frantic as they were, got routed.
The British armies had neither taken into account the poor morale of the royalist army, nor the lack of junior officers, and their own intelligence sources were infiltrated by Napoleon's agents and the Republic's spy networks.
The battle was hardly a battle, the spirit of forcibly conscripted men being easily broken, and their positions and movements leaked to Napoleon's ears. The thundering of cannons sounded each nobleman's defeat.
This war in the Vendee was looking less like a war and more of a minor uprising, with the momentum that was gathering. Napoleon was just the man to quash it, it seems.
Reward: Multiple royalist forces have been routed in battles, and are retreating to their strongholds. The British Soldiers have fled to their hard landing points in Aquitaine.
Napoleon has brought his cannons, and he's not afraid to use them. The revolt is still ongoing, but a large blow has been struck into the composure of the royalists and their dastardly overlords.

Disaster Roll: d100 = 18 (Failure)
Marat's latest articles have caused an uproar within Paris, as he launched endless attacks against the political elite, particularly at Robespierre, Danton, and the other Jacobins in command of the Committee of Public Safety.
Danton tried to argue patience and control, but Robespierre's pride was hurt, and ideas floated in his head about action, unable to withstand tirade after tirade of accusatory essays circulating in the Capital.
He invited Marat to the headquarters of the Assembly, charged him with treason, and promptly hosted an execution for the caustic journalist.
That was the first of many.
Soon, after the trials, a half-written article from Marat was published post-mortem in every newspaper in the city, and news of it spread far beyond.
Madmen despise the will of the people, not to make their own homes safe, but to take power, to indulge their greed and self-interest. To strike in a moment of weakness…
An appropriate name was given to this heinous act, and so a Terror has fallen across the city of Paris... and thus a bloody mist descended upon the rest of France.
Reward: The Reign of Terror has begun. God help the people of France.
Don't oppose the Committee!
<><><>
Brian: d100 = 51 (Success)
It was without a doubt worrisome that Napoleon subverted his command and made him a mere staff officer to his command, but Brian was very good at pointing out key flaws in Napoleon's plans. With his ability to maintain a constant supply, and point out the Corsican's own small tactical mistakes.
Napoleon noticed such things, and applauded them.
Brian was happy that he was helpful and useful... and Napoleon believed he'd finally found a man he can trust.
Reward: Napoleon likes Brian, since Brian is good at judging Napoleon's moods and flaws.
Napoleon has made a passing comment on arranging a marriage to his sister, a comment that leads to Brian almost punching his superior in the face. Brian tells him that the war comes first.
<><><>
Army of the North: d100 = 24 (Fail)
The Army of the North has been rocked with yet another defeat, but they have narrowly retreated and avoided being completely destroyed. Still, they are disorganized and scattered all over Northern France.
It would take a miracle worker to reassemble the Army and push the Coalition armies out of France and back into the Austrian Netherlands, back to whence they came.
Reward: The Army of the North is Scattered, with individual units beating a fighting retreat, some scattered battalions striking at enemy supply lines and camps to slow the advance into France.
The march on Paris begins soon…
<><><>
Prussia: d100 = 22 (Fail)
As can be expected, the loss in one of the Prussian Army's highest ranking officers sent inevitable shockwaves through the command. The Prussian Army has suffered losses and is slowed by the sporadic attacks from scattered French forces, targeting their leaders. Many units are almost without effective leadership, many of their officers dying in battle or from French resistance and hurriedly-trained militia.
Reward: The Prussian Army is without effective leadership in their field armies, with only a few high ranking/experienced Prussian generals commanding many units, and often spread thin.
<><><>
Austria: d100 = 51 (Pass)
The Austrian Army is advancing slowly into the French Territory but is also being bogged down by the French countryside, civilian militias, and the scattered remnants of the Army of the North.
Their southern attack by way of Italy has stalled, their general faced with a decision to turn east to strike at the recent losses in the Rhine, or continue towards Toulouse. Time is short, as they attempt to regroup with Prussian forces before the cold can set in.
Reward: The Austrian Army is fully functional, but moving slowly, being bogged down by near constant and unorthodox combat. Their southern army is at an impasse, and has stopped in the early fall chill to figure out what to do.
<><><>
GB: d100 = 32 (Failure)
The British Army has suffered a great defeat in the Vendée at the hands of Napoleon, and have deemed the Royalists' insurrection a lost cause. Their commander has decided to flee France and move to other fronts.
Reward: The British have decided to abandon the royalist resistance in France, deeming it too hard and a waste of resources and men.
The waves call to drown out other targets…
<><><>
Haiti: d100 = 73 (Success)
The provisional joint government of Haiti has gathered and is arming commandeered ships, merchant vessels and older naval ships in the harbor at the capital of Port-au-Prince. This is in addition to contracting any privateers to go after British ships in the Caribbean.
It appears they are intent on making the British pay, at any monetary cost.
Reward: Haiti has started to destroy British ships in the Caribbean, to tie up the Royal Navy in the Caribbean.
<><><>
Russia: d100 = 66 (Success)
The Russians have declared neutrality in this conflict, but have agreed to start trading with the British Empire.
Not that you know about it, of course.
Reward: Russia is neutral in the war, but has started trading with the Coalition under the table. Your naval capabilities are too poor to know this.
<><><>
America: d100 = 69 (Nice)
George Washington has announced that he is not running for a third term as President and is seeking to retire back to his plantation in Mt. Vernon. In his Farewell Address, he whispered of the dangers of regionalism, partisanship, and foreign entanglements into the eager ears of thousands of Americans. Echoes of neutral foreign affairs combined with active economic relations with other nations were repeated as he did throughout his term. James Madison, a drafter of the Constitution, criticized this address as being anti-France and pro-British, seeing the state of affairs in the Republic under siege.
America's policies will no doubt change based on who will take over for the First President.
His likely successors are John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton.
The United States prepares for its first election without George Washington as the frontrunner and clear favorite for nomination.
Reward: The United States is preparing for its first Washington-less presidential Election. In God they Trust.
A/N: Thanks to Magoose for the events! Yes, he's pretty busy this time of year. So am I, but you know how it is.
