Right then. That's twenty four for D100+20s, two batches of twelve, and one raw d100. Let's see who of the OTL marshals think Napoleon has what it takes.
EDIT: Rolls are in order of wikipedia list: Louis-Alexandre Berthier, Joachim Murat, Bon-Adrien Jeannot de Moncey, André Masséna, Pierre Augereau, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, Guillaume Marie-Anne Brune, Jean-de-Dieu Soult, Jean Lannes, Édouard Mortier, Michel Ney, Louis-Nicolas Davout.
Then, Jean-Baptiste Bessières, François Christophe de Kellermann, François Joseph Lefebvre, Catherine-Dominique de Pérignon, Jean-Mathieu-Philibert Sérurier, Claude Victor-Perrin, Duc de Belluno, Jacques MacDonald, Nicolas Oudinot, Auguste de Marmont, Louis-Gabriel Suchet, Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Emmanuel de Grouchy.
And lastly Jourdon.

Well, Marmont got a 4. So Mr. "only got promoted by friendship" is probably not on good terms. But Jean Lanns, the only man who could speak to the Emperor informally, is apparently a fanatic loyalist.

To be fair on Lanns, he's probably doing this to Help his Battle Bro Brian too.
Come on...lets be real, Lanns is gonna follow those two to the ends of the Earth.

It could have gone a lot worse and don't forget the +20 on all but Jourdon. If the +20 is added then 5 of those numbers go over 100.

So...most of the (future) Marshals are either with us (well, with Nappy, but we are basically on his side now too) or likely neutral at the beginning.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

To be fair, they'd distrust the Government outright after the Refusal to Pay the Soldiers fiasco.
The Rolls just confirmed what we already know.
Indeed.
Also, @Magoose, since these Allegiance-Rolls are gonna be part of the Rumor Mill, we can't apply Boni to them, right?

Thought so.
Let's hope they Dice-Gods are feelin' merciful when rolling for the Civilian-Officials.
...Then again, if the Army is mostly on our side, I'm not sure how much exactly they could do if they side with Robby without appealing to foreign Powers for aid...and that would make it a lot easier for us to portray them as Traitors.

Dans les rues de Palerme, Part 4 (Alexander Sturnn)
Dans les rues de Palerme, Part 4
Something wasn't right.
There was a certain Rhythm to any army. If you stayed with one long enough, you could feel it. And you could especially feel it when that Rhythm was disturbed by something.
That 'something' could be an Execution, a drill, an enemy attack...or a general feeling of anger and despair. Like the one that had gripped the Army of the Orient now.
Alexandre had noticed it immediately after returning to the Camp from his Patrol shift. A sense of unrest had gripped the Soldiers and Officers. the were all talking to each other in an agitated manner. Many of them looked sad, angry or even in despair.
Alexandre, for the life of himself, could not figure out why. There hadn't been any more People executed after General Auclair had finished cleaning up the Rapists and Murderers during the Capture. Nobody had attacked them and they had enough to eat for months.
So what had happened?
He soon found his answer as he spotted his three favorite Soldiers - though he would NEVER admit that to them - sitting near their tent and talking to each other with a wide variety of expressions.
"They can't do this!", growled Jean angrily. "That's stupid!"
Alphonse looked at his friend with pity. "Well, sadly, they did."
Philippe hammered his fist against the crate he sat on in frustration. "Fucking Papists...no wonder the Revolution threw these Bastards out!"
Alexandre walked up to them. "Well lads, you seem pretty mad about something. So does the rest of the Army. The hell happened?"
"We got excommunicated by the Pope!", said Jean furiously.
The Caporal blinked. "...The Pope...personally threw you outta the Church, Jean?"
Jean shook his head. "Not just me! The ENTIRE Army of the Orient! Every single catholic Soldier, Officer and even Camp Follower!"
That...surprised Alexandre, to say the least. "Why the hell would he do that? I thought you had to commit Heresy or some shit for that?"
"Apparently", Alphonse spoke up, "it was because of the Civilians that died when Colonel Chamas broke through the Sicilian Ranks...and because the entire Sicilian Army died in that Battle with no survivors. The Army is excommunicated because we killed so many fellow Christians."
"It's fucking Bullshit, that's what it is!!", growled Jean furiously. "Is he gonna do this to every fucking army fighting a War in Europe now?! Why the hell do WE get singled out for this?!"
Alexandre raised an eyebrow. "I'm kinda surprised you are taking this so hard. Out of you three, Jean is the only Catholic. And I don't remember you being all that pious."
"Well, no", Jean admitted. "But I still see myself as a Member of the Church. And if nothing else, I have tried to respect Sunday and all that." He clenched a fist. "It just makes me mad that I get damned to hell by the Pope only because I'm part of an Army who hasn't done anything worse then ANY fucking army has these past few years!"
Philippe put a hand on his Friends shoulder. "Ah, don't sweat it. I'm mad as well, if only because a lot of good Comrades are feeling screwed over by this. But when push comes to shove, I'm sure our Protestant Chruch is gonna accept you. We don't need no old fart wearing a tall hat to tell us who is a good man of God and who isn't."
"Same for us Calvinists", nodded Alphonse.
"If you're really that upset, just switch Churches. Who cares what the Pope says?", Philippe finished.
Jean was quiet for a good while. "...Maybe I should do that", he finally said. "I mean, I'm thrown out of the Church anyway. Who cares if I commit Heresy now? I just hope my Family isn't mad at me when I come back."
Alexandre grunted. "If it even comes to that. Let me tell you something, lads: I doubt General Auclair will take this lying down. She's a good enough General to know that this will hurt the Morale of our Army and that she needs to do something about that." He smirked. "Wouldn't surprise me if she took us all on a small Visit to Rome to show the Pope why what he did was idiotic. After all, we're already in Italy, so why not?"
That thought brought some chuckles out of the three. Satisfied, the Caporal continued. "Now, personally, I wouldn't care either way since I don't really belong to any church. I'm pretty sure I wasn't ever baptized or anything. But I still think I'm a good enough Man in the eyes of the Lord...a lot better then many others, anyway. Same goes for you three. Besides, it's not like the Church has much say in France right now. So, don't you go lose your heads over this. We've been through a lot and we'll weather this too. As usual."
With these Words, Alexandre turned around and began to walk away to his own tent. Looking back over his shoulder, he could see tat the three had resumed talking, but in a much less agitated manner then before, much of their tension gone.
He chuckled. Maybe he really was getting sentimental, but he was glad he could help the three of them in some small way. Even if it was just by telling them a few nice words.
A.N.: And there's Part 4. There may be other Parts later, but those are all I planned for now.

Other generals will follow to be rolled for by you all and I will post a list of more generals and the civilian government foryou all to roll for.
also for Murat and Davout, they aren't loyal to Nappy B… they're loyal to us.
Another +10 to the rolls.

I just wanted to get the Base roll in at least.
Might be soon. Would not necessarily be a bad outcome either.
