Rumor mill 1795 Q3: The World is On Fire Again. (Or how the World Reacts to a French Civil War)
Disaster Roll: https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxh25kc + https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxh2bmt
The situation in France has not deteriorated as rapidly as many seemed to have expected. The Royalists, keen on the news of their wayward prince, seem open to many ideas involving the restoration authority and have risen in revolt behind the enemy lines of the Parisian government
They hope that their resistance to Paris will be seen as a way to gain influence in the new government, seeing Robespierre as nothing more than a scoundrel, a murderer, and a man ill-fit to rule France in the name of its people.
For only the King can rule France, and-
They have heard the news of the Excommunication of the Army of the Orient, and one Louis Capet in particular.
And there is a rage that even Heaven can feel.
A Rage that all is lost.
Reward: The Vendee has risen again to fight for Louis Capet's claim to the French throne, and has decided that it would be better to work with Napoleon for a chance to see it so, than work against him.
The Papal States are in danger of losing many of the believers in France due to their actions, as the French people do not believe that the Temporal Authority of Saint Peter's Church has any right to dictate matters of politics on earth.
It seems that the catholic bishops stoking the fires of rebellion against the French Republic have stopped, utterly shocked at their leader in Pope Pius doing such a thing.
The French Republic:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxh152o
To call what happened a consolidation of power is a gross understatement of what truly occurred in Paris in the days and weeks after the escape of Brian Auclair and his seizure of Power…
Robespierre and his supporters, loyal, worthy, or otherwise, have seized control of every facet of life in Paris and the surrounding communes.
Reactionaries, royalists, and anyone who was deemed unrevolutionary were led to trials.
Many were sentenced to labor, to work, or to the National Guard.
A few suffered a more permanent fate.
With the Razor falling…
And the world becomes dark.
Veterans from the previous wars, men who were old, ill and sick, were given rifles to fight their comrades.
Many fled to their reformed units.
Many more became prisoners or penal units, sent to fight or die.
Reward: The French Republic has fallen into a state of Terror, with every man, woman and child who do not put every effort to the Revolution, being considered traitors, cowards or far far worse.
Any one who could stand up to the Consul Robespierre, and his government has already left. And any man brave enough to speak out.
Meet the Razor itself.
The numbers of experienced soldiers grow, as penal battalions and newly promoted officers take command, and political commissars hold equal or greater command than the officers who had been placed in the command.
Napoleon:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxgovkl
The Restoration government is under his complete control, and duties on all theaters have been delegated to the generals who have given their oaths to him, and to France itself.
They would save their home from the madness of the Revolution, and those who have corrupted it for their power. Napoleon himself is taking to the field with 15,000 men of the Consular Guard, men who left with him during his flight from Paris, along with Irregular volunteer forces numbering 20,000, under the command of newly-promoted Brigadier General, Michel Ney.
Additional forces of the Restoration government army are all over France, under different officers. They are scattered, yes… but they are seizing many vial objectives, supply depots and cites.
But they are still scattered.
Reward: The Restoration Authorities forces are scattered across France, but have seized vital objectives, and are receiving new orders by the day.
They also experience popular support from citizens all across the Authorities territory, seeing as many of the soldiers are doing everything they can to not despoil the countryside before the Harvest.
Brian:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxgpjcs
Brian Auclair is not the greatest chief of Staff in France's Army. That honor belonged to General Beirther…
But what he had was a reputation, both as a field commander and an administrator for a man who is notoriously difficult to work with, being able to know exactly what Napoleon meant when he said his orders verbally or in notes delivered by courier.
And he works miracles, even when it seems impossible.
Reward: Brain has settled back into his role as chief of Staff to Napoleon, and as a capable deputy for the Restoration Government.
Davout's Boys and Second Corps:

The Pope:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxhjt7g
General Auclair, Grand Marshal Bonaparte
Our mission to the Papal states to protest The Army of the Orient's excommunication has been a partial success. The Pope and his state have surrendered to II Corps without a shot fired.
Currently he has not reconciled with any member of the Army, even as we revealed Louis and Charlotte were members, and they were part of the excommunication.
The Pope was horrified and was planning to reconcile them immediately. However, Louis refused, as he would only reconcile them, instead of the whole Army.
Both are beginning to write scathing letters to the rest of Europe, about the pope's… political actions. The Scandal may be enough for the Holy Father to… reconsider.
For now, we stand by for new orders, and if we are granted such… we will strike at the Austrians or the Napleians.
General Davout.
Reward: General Davout has secured his objectives in Rome, and is awaiting new orders.
Tsar Peter:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxgywoo
Tsar Peter is dead, accidently shot by one of his riders, mistaken for an enemy cossak, while hunting near Moscow.
It is a shock, a true senseless tragedy, but now the civil war is over.
Reward: The Tsar is dead. Long live the Tsar.
Tsar Alexander:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kpxgzax9
The news of his father's death came as an unexpected event, but the War is over.
There are traitors to deal with.
Reward: Long live the Tsar.
GB:

The Government of Great Britain, sensing weakness in it's continental rival in France, has sent diplomats all over europe
They see the weakness of France collapsing, and can finally get their revenge on them.
They have promised to pay millions of pounds, supply the nations with supplies, and support them with the Royal Navy, to return France To their rightful place.
Beneath the British Yoke.
