H'wat in the goddamn fuck!

...

Suck our Star-Spangled Ding-Dongs, Britain! How's that for the Proclamation of 1763?

Seriously speaking, tho, this is nuts. There's an empowered racial minority that looks like it's going to account for at least four Senatorial votes out of, what, 30 including the Native vote? Numbers-wise, they're no more powerful than the next two states to be added, but their influence will still be a game-changer, to say nothing of the precedence this sets on western expansion and racial/social justice.

Not so sure this means anything positive on the slavery front, though. The Iroquois and Seminole practiced a more lax form of slavery, certainly not as cruel as the Dixie chattel system. Regardless, they probably won't oppose the slave-states in any meaningful way.

In other news, I'm going to take "Napoleon galloped" and roll with that for the Pole's omake debut. This gon' be gud.

Which is why I was going to write an omake about him catching Pneumonia on his second inauguration. But nooo, they have to roll a 100.

Anyone think we should we be marching North?
Because I'm tempted, but I'm also sure that we don't have nearly enough men to both cut off their supply, contain the invasion, and not denude the Rhine at the same time.

Wolfund · Oct 28, 2019

so in short, Napoleon, "I totaled a british fleet because I'm CREED REBORN"

Vendée "YOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Brit "blinking furiously at their fleet on fire, ain't not in da plan boss..."

Prussia "RUN AWAY ! RUN AWAY !"

America "Accidentaly a country."

Haiti "This is my island, there is many like it, but, this one? it's mine."

Russia "BY THE POWER OF LOGIC !"

Pretty much.

Wolfund said:

Accurate, but add more Monarchist anger!

Wolfund said:
Brit "blinking furiously at their fleet on fire, ain't not in da plan boss..."

And add in tea-sipping "this is fine" and stiff upper lip.

Wolfund said:
Prussia "RUN AWAY ! RUN AWAY !"

Runaway from the scary lady!

Wolfund said:
America "Accidentaly a country."

Accidently annexing A country... and become a superpower by the second decade of existence.

Wolfund said:
Haiti "This is my island, there is many like it, but, this one? it's mine."

Add in some chanting and French laughter and accurate.

Wolfund said:

more like the power of food.

Really depends on what orders we get from Paris. If we want to go North, a possible plan would be to wait until they cross into France and hope they split up to achieve their own objectives, then defeat them one by one.

I just hope Brian's alright.

That strategy sounds very familiar. I can't remember what it reminds me of exactly, but it's gonna bug me if I don't figure it out.

Perhaps the Americans would be willing to enter into some kind of trade agreement. You know, get our toe in with the new up and coming super power.

Well, defeating them one by one is a Napoleon thing. Them splitting up when they're winning was an OTL move during the First Coalition. Not necessarily what will happen here though.

Those rolls

, also if thoseAmerican rolls get high enough, will the French sell their land early?

We have no land to sell but some Caribbean islands and some Indian ports. Louisiana is still Spanish.

Depends on the war with Spain, it's still under Spanish control at this time.

He'll be fine. Nothing bad will come to those you love and care about.
