Either way it seems we're shaping up to have our own circus in paralell to Nappy's

What about him then, we know he has expressed some interest in the Academy, but what does he think of the other options?
Interesting, perhaps they'd chafe under the restrictions and responsibilities their former positions entail if placed with her, considering their relative freedom now. Though there is the fact they are family, so being placed in a familiar environment might be good for them.
Also, when we prepare for our trip, will we have the option to look for an educator for them if they come along with us? This campaign will entail a whole lot of waiting and traveling, so plenty of time for them to learn stuff and interact with us.
It would be nice if they speak Arabic or Turkish too, since we need to learn that, and we could share lessons with them, killing two birds with one stone. Would be an opportunity to bond and learn with them!

Why would they even bother putting Hoche in prison if he was just a colonel? That just seems unecessary, the main reason he got tossed in prison was him clashing with the Committee of Public Safety as one of the two generals in the Rhine, also the whole thing about Pichegru accusing him of being a counter revolutionary.

Still haven't decided yet.
I know one is historical, but the other two I'm having trouble with because there is so little information to work off for them... So we might have to make original characters because... that's what they might just be.
As for our own circus... It seems we're building up a Staff to Rival Nappy.
He wouldn't mind going back to his Aunt, but he most certainly doesn't trust Brian. He thinks he's far to fickle where his loyalties lie, and thinks that Brian is to... dangerous to be around... even more so then Napoleon.
They have enjoyed a level of freedom that has never been allowed in their previous lives, and very much enjoyed that level of freedom.
Because he was a fall guy who knew nothing, but they had to punish someone, and they didn't want to kill him. So they gave him a light sentence and were done with it.
Napoleon and Brian yeeted the government and basically communed that sentence.
And he's out and back in the army, with a potential to gain generalship under Jourdan.
Well the thing with that... is that we'd be traveling... a lot and finding competent teachers in the Army, even outside of it right now, is going to be an expensive proposition.

What was Pichegru doing at the Vendee? Why did he even join them so blatantly?

It was less he joined them blatantly, more...
give me a sec to look through the notes that we made for the Vendee, it was something to do with mutinying troops under his command going there, him going there to punish them, getting captured by the rebels, taking command so he could stay alive, him seeing through British lies when they wanted to make Vendee even worse, doing everything in his power to make it worse, and playing Napoleon, Brian and the CoS enough to make sure he wouldn't die when he surrendered to Napoleon.

Why let him live after literally defecting to the enemy? Napoleon wasn't exactly known to take treason lightly, the Committee even less so.

Interesting.
Yeah, I sure hope we don't get seasick easily
. Couldn't we use our campaign funds if they speak Turkish or Arabic though? They could be considered a local liason, having someone that understands the locals to act as a go between is important for any occupying army, and we could pay them on the side to educate the children. This would help reduce the price at least. Regardless of the price, if they do go I think it is important for us hire such a person.Also, do we have a timetable regarding how long it would take for the ships to sail from Marseille/Toulon to Alexandria?

If you could give me a few minutes to look through my notes, and tell you, he didn't betray France.
He just got captured.
So give me a few dammed minutes to go through the hundred-plus pages of notes, and then I can answer that question.
Please, its hard enough to remember sometimes.
There are people in the army who speak Arabic and Turkish... not many, and they are a handful... but there are, and we can recruit them.Yeah, I sure hope we don't get seasick easily
A few months. We're traveling with a pretty big fleet.

Who were the representatives on mission during the Vendee? They had even more power than the generals at this time, so it would be interesting to know.

Look, we just have to go to Egypt, away from any supply lines, and then march down the Nile while the British, Arabs, and Ottomans all try to kill us, with the populace inevitably loathing us for the looting we'll almost certainly have to do. It's simple!Heh, someone actually has faith...

Although, we are gonna be rolling against the British, sooooooo... maybe we should do an oopsie and invade Cyprus instead! I don't wanna roll against the Ottomans

All the troops on the front page are what you are taking with you.
Around 40-60 Thousand troops will be joining you.

That is a lot of troops, for a such a foreign campaign.
Didn't we spent a part of last turn training the untrained troops?

Those were Jourdan's troops for his potential offensive into Prussia.

There status isn't properly done in the front page as it says this:
However at least 20,000 of the untrained should now be regulars, the 2,000 Riflemen should be Veterans & 6,000 of the Infantry should also be Veterans.
