It was established in 1802. IIRC, we're still in the 1790s.
So how long will it be before Severin will be back in action?
Will we get a Chance to attend Kleber's Funeral, maybe hold a Eulogy too?

Six months at least.
Murat probably in two, But with the war coming to an end, we can see a lot of them convalescing in France itself, or in positions of less stress and can heal properly.
Yes. That is a new actions that has been added.
He wants to have a relationship with them, as a father figure.
Louis tells him to go fuck himself.

How Therese Views Some of the Current officers (and future) Marshals and officers.
Ney: I do not know him well, but the man has more bravery, then he has sense. But sometimes, we need bravery more than sense, if we wish to survive.
Marmont: A Loyal Aide, though he is certainly not as skilled as others I have read reports on. But he may surprise me.
Jourdan: The Man is a Wily Fox that all enemies must be warry of him when he has time to plan.
Massena: The man is a brilliant leader, tasked with impossible tasks. He could have succeeded without help, but he swallowed his pride and accepted it.
Davout: He is a man whom I trust with my life, with any plan, and any situation. For I know he will see it through.
Klebier: He was my friend, I wish he did not need to die like a soldier.
Dumas: I do not care what men call him, He a fierce general, and a man who does his duty without a single response, other then he will win.
Severin: If I want to Invade Hell, I want Him leading the Vanguard. Not Vandamme.
Chamans: A Man of spectacular skill and energy, but he has a way of committing war that frightens even me.
Murat: Never Before have I seen a man so gifted when leading the Cavalry.

Well. We have a cavalry commander covered in Murat, a Deputy in Davout and Chamans depending on our situation, Severin is our resident mad lad, Dumas is not really capable of independent high command...
But we have options in Oudinot, Marmont, Massena, Macdonald, Even Brian.

Artillery.
He's okay.
And he's not up for hire.
You're in good Company there. Therese is great at Artillery herself and Nappy considers it the "King of the Battlefield", and rightfully so, in my Opinion.

The Rumor Mill Q2 (Peace In Europe)

The Rumor Mill Q2 (Peace In Europe):
The Treaty of Paris that has been signed by diplomats of the conference, was a treaty that sought to humiliate, disarm, and feed France, to stop its people from rioting for food.
All the great Powers of Europe, save Russia, were given terms that should stop any war from ever happening again.
Or at least a few years.
Peace in our times?
Or at least in Europe, has descended.
Disaster Roll:100+43+20=163
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:ksgqsmdj
To say that the French victories have greatly revitalized the French people and their ability to continue into the future is a gross understatement.
Following the Treaty of Paris (1796), many in the French Republic breathed a sigh of relief that the war was over, and the years of constant fighting would come to an end.
This has led to a calming affair amongst the people of France. With fresh food on the way from the defeated enemies, along with many thousands of pounds of silver, gold, and other treasures from the defeated nations that had sent armies against them.
There seems to be nothing that can stop the Great Nation of France from Seizing her destiny.
Foreign Minister Talleyrand held all the cards to create a peace that would remind Europe that France was still the most dominant force in all of Europe.
And that their oath-breaking and truce breaking would make any future disruption of peace, an enemy to peace, and Europe themselves.
Many Demands made by Napoleon and Talleyrand that would have seemed ludicrous before the Army's sudden surge of victories and the enemies collapse and retreat to their territories.
Reward: The French State is victorious against her enemies, and now, can focus on so much more than fighting for survival.
The Balance of Power in Europe has shifted towards a French Dominion.
The other European powers are too exhausted, out of cash-paying reparations, or broken to try and contest France's Influence.
Except for the British, but they have their own problems to deal with.
Napoleon:95+58+20=143
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:ksgqte1b
Napoleon Bonaparte has cemented himself as the Savior of France, and the great hero of the Batavian Republic, for his brilliant campaigns, with the French People cheering for him in the Streets whenever he marched with his forces through their homes, and many of the men who had fought alongside him were Praised as well.
Even now, paintings and articles and stories created by his men and his propagandists spread all throughout France, and many think that such a hero leading the nation will be a welcome change to the last few years and the chaos of the Storm of Revolution that preceded it.
Reward: Napoleon has become the undisputed hero of France, and if he wished, he could rip away any of the Revolution's gains and it would be met with applause and cheers from the French People.
Not that he would do that. Yet.
Prussia:16
The Peace Terms that the Prussians have received were exactly what they deserved, and no more harmful than what the Minister wanted.
Austria:5
Minister Talleyrand had wished for a more balanced treaty for the Empire.
Napoleon and the French People wanted punishment for those who broke their oaths, and agreements signed in the blood of the French army.
GB:38
Britain did not make the mistake of surrendering to French Demands… at least all of the French demands.
With so many men in Spain, trying to start some semblance of order in the chaotic peninsula, They realized that, to keep those men from getting killed, both by French forces, and their allies in Spain.
They would make peace, and try to secure whatever foothold in Spain they can.
Terms:
Russia:84
Russia walks away with Status Quo, Ante Bellum.
They have done nothing to warrant the Wrath of the French, save for being slow on the March.
Haiti:68
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:ksgqwskh
Haiti celebrates peace.
America: 81
There is no news from the Americans other than there has been a successful defense of Baltimore from British naval vessels.
There were also reports that an American Expedition led by an American officer, William Eaton has escaped slavery in Tunisia, and, with the help of some Berber tribesmen. Five hundred French, American, and even Spanish escapees are now marching across the Moroccan coastal desert, towards Spain.
New Spain: 50.
There is no news of New Spain.
Save for the fact British ships have stopped trying to fight them… and there is an uneasy peace.
Spain:4
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:ksgqyhyk
Spain continues to collapse. Don Carlos has fled Madrid with twenty-five retainers, as the city falls to an anarchic mob, who have set fire to the city.
Reports from the City are Grim, as the city did not have the blaze contained… burning much of it down.
Near Salamanca, Spanish Forces of the Lost Division have taken positions in the city, and began shooting anyone who comes near the city, before making raids to other warlords and nobles who have stayed behind, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.
In Barcelona, the Republican governors have protested to French forces providing a garrison, calling them foreign occupiers, and wish for them to leave the nation to patch itself together on it's own merits, rather than that of Bonaparte's conquests.
Reward: Spain begins to unravel even more, as the people are continually factionalizing and fragmenting, with regionalism and ideologies trying to battle for supremacy.
If Spain gets one more Crit fail, the situation will become untenable, and the Idea of a Spanish Nation will be lost to history.
AN: Enjoy.
Also, if you can't tell...
Spain is continuing to Burn.

No more than they deserve. I only wish we could have seen a negative roll for our enemies.
At long last, France finally has the victory it deserves.
A little jumbled.
At long last, France finally has the victory it deserves.
A little jumbled.
So basically intervention in Spain is a critical priority. Not just because of the humanitarian crisis, but also due to potential British influence. I suggest we support the Republicans ASAP.
