Letter from Gisèle Faure to his wife in Rennes Brittany Ma très chère épouse, I can only imagine the emotional toll the last few weeks have taken on you, while it was wonderful to spend a week at home with you I will admit it was nerve-racking to have Napoleon stay at our manor while he prepared for the campaign. I know if it wasn't for the doctor demanding you stay on bed rest till the child's birth you would have loved to socialize more with all the generals and the emperor. He has three times since we left implored me to write you more often. Apparently, you had a talk with him at some point before we left and I am wondering exactly what you said to get the Emperor on my case. Honestly dear I find it very funny and it just shows how amazing a person you are, how no one can seem to disagree with you. However, he slipped up and mentioned a gift he left for our children and future and refused to explain more in detail. I hope he hasn't done anything too crazy or excessive, I know that the Emperor is an odd man with his flaws at times but his charity is not one of them. Alas while I write to you recent developments to the east bring us some alarm. The Prussians have attacked Murat's Corp and a battle has been fought. They seem to have started the battle in a poor location if the dispatches are to be believed where they were able to use the reverse slop of a hill to lure the enemy into a shooting gallery. While the lines traded volleys, the cavalry made short work of flanking and destroying the enemy's cannons. Then they collapsed upon the enemy from behind breaking them and routing them from the field. We had landed outside Dublin, so the most dangerous part of our invasion was behind us, I was extremely worried about the British navy catching us in the crossing. We have landed with two complete Corps in Ireland to the joy of the locals, which is extremely interesting to see how much the Irish seem to hate their English overlords. More often than not our armies have had to stop locals from killing isolated English garrisons. It is fairly ironic when your enemy sees you as a savior over a threat, conversing with my brother the other night he reported his company of infantry has experienced the same thing. Liberating Dublin was mostly done by the locals our duties were honestly to stop them from rioting and hanging every Englishman they could get their hands on. From there, we have taken to the march leaving behind enough forces to just keep peace in the lands while the Irish organize their own government and forces. I wish I could tell you more as to what we're up to however security is extremely important now dear. Letters across the sea are a lot easier for the enemy to intercept. Some British privateers have even intercepted a few dispatches, fortunately, they sailed into Dublin harbor and we simply took them back. The latest reports tell us that Austria was disappointed by their attempts to stir rebellion and failed to do anything more than send young men to their deaths. So naturally they have declared war to send more young men to their deaths. Davout's Corp met them in the field, taking a lone manor to be the center of their line, our Corp fought their armies till they were exhausted, then our cavalry which had been disposing of their cannons and routing their enemy equal. Reforming their lines the cavalry prepared struck a mortal blow against the enemy's forces. However, the enemy seemed prepared for this having their reserves to form square yet Davout sent his infantry to ruin their squares and break them with accurate musket fire. The greater alarm came with a small dispatch reporting the loss of one of our German state allies, Hesse-Kessel, the Prussian forces appeared to have stormed them instead of attacking us head-on, a crafty maneuver which will no doubt work them to a flank if we are not careful. Napoleon has the plan to hold the enemy forces in the east off while he finishes liberating England from its current government, I am already making arrangements to ensure the safety of the English King as Napoleon views him not as an enemy but a man whose government has led him astray. I am also quietly making arrangements for other key figures some based on Napoleon's orders, others are more personal. I shall see to it that no harm comes to your parents or their estate, even though they did refuse to attend our wedding and despise me. I will be the "frog in law" and they can hate me all they like, so long as they are alive and kind to you and our children. As I finish this long letter, your most recent one has reached me I'm so glad that you and our newborn son are doing well. The whole camp has likely heard my joy at another healthy birth in our family, Napoleon and Ney both have dispatched dragoons worried something was wrong when they heard me shout and the rest of the staff cheered with joy at this news. I wish you to stay safe and do not over-exert yourself love, I make a health pay and it's wise for us to use it to cover costs and labor for our lands. How I long to hold you and our children in my arms. Ton mari aimant Gisèle Faure PS I explained to Ney and he too shares in the joy and upon hearing it Napoleon has wished you a speedy recovery.
They say history is written by the victor, and I’d say you’ve just rewritten history today. A successful landing near Dublin, taking the city without firing a shot, then marching on to Edinburgh in Scotland, another swift, bloodless victory in sight. You know, Napoleon Bonaparte himself once said that if he could be master of the English Channel for six hours, he could become master of the world, and in this case, apparently he was right.
that whole France vs Britain debate is why the British attacked the Danish Navy while in port at night. The Danish navy was feared by the British bc it could rival theirs and if the Danes were to join the French they could very well have defeated the British, this made them attack the Danes out of fear of them joining the French, this attack was in fact the very thing that made the Danes ally the French
Hello Mr LH, Sir, Excellent defense against the Austrians, traitors of peace they are! I completely agree, defend the Rhine, and the Danube. The punch in the Nose from Murrat or Davout should hold the line until the English question is resolved. Napoleon moves on to Edinburgh supported by Ney, truly fantastic! I enjoy watching the column attacks! Once that starts have the neighboring Infantry attacking in line, that will reduce friendly fire in a general bayonet melee attack! Love this content and keep it coming! 🍻
Might be a good shout to declare on Spain after you take Gibraltar and secure both th south and west fronts assuming the north and east can simply hold while you do it
Can you please name a infantry unit Régiment de Royal Suédois (hopefully in Bernadotte the usurpers army) after the real Swedish foreign regiment who fought for the French and existed between 1690 and 1814.
I started watching from your 1st episode and couldn't wait for you to invade England if you take England you win. I always think Russia should be smashed last but wtf do i know. Great series 👏 👌
You know that Britain start with a few merchant ships in the northwest Atlantic. If you have a some free warships this ships may change side before London fall for the emperor wink wink 😉 Another ide if you whant to take away some pressure off you then I got one idé. When you take Gibraltar make it a expeditionary force that you can lose. After Gibraltar take them on a ship and send them to create new protectoratesship that will annoy your enemies in the Mediterranean. If you for example take Athens you will create Greece to annoy the ottomans. You can also go up the black sea and create the Crimean khanate taking territory from russia (Littel Tatary). Give them some upgrades and then pay them to join your war on the enemy and they can do some damage 😁 Last thing. When it comes to starfort, if you build them then it will make the ai less keen to invade the city. Yes if you fight the battel it is a bit buggy but just have citizen's take the canons to defend. But to make Austria not attack Vienna as fast then build forts BUT they will attack with a larger force. Can you also build a starfort in Paris? Why? Because of esthetic reson that you have build everything. Love this game and I am so happy to see you play this again ❤️

It's a 🎮 😅😂
oh god, if Lionheart adds more cav to Murat's army, it's going to suffer like 75% casualties each battle... :)

Here we go again :D
42:29 is that you Baldrick?
The Wulfhart campaign in Warhammer 2, those lizards almost had you a few times and I was rooting them haha
Might be a good shout to declare on Spain after you take Gibraltar and secure both th south and west fronts assuming the north and east can simply hold while you do it
26:30 there is an impostor among us
wow what a surprise a brit occupying ireland
Can you please name a infantry unit Régiment de Royal Suédois (hopefully in Bernadotte the usurpers army) after the real Swedish foreign regiment who fought for the French and existed between 1690 and 1814.
I'm curious to know what happened to the Denmark force that sailed deep in to the Mediterranean
So Dublin's been mashed, you're about to go Haggis on Edinburgh; then down to Liverpool for some Fish'n'ships...?
I started watching from your 1st episode and couldn't wait for you to invade England if you take England you win. I always think Russia should be smashed last but wtf do i know. Great series 👏 👌
weird how the spy network doesn't show all of england when it's the AI turn.
You know that Britain start with a few merchant ships in the northwest Atlantic. If you have a some free warships this ships may change side before London fall for the emperor wink wink 😉

Love this game and I am so happy to see you play this again ❤️
Already sailed around Britain a few episodes ago and no ships on the northern trade nodes.
@@lionheartx10 forget that then 😅
Swing Murat round to take Hessel Kessel, they took it then battle bavaria so should be weak there
im hoping England beats you lol ;)
Wth happened to the darthmod musket sounds? They used to sound so much better.
I’ve not enabled them these are just vanilla muskets as some of the sound pack in the past includes copyrighted sounds / music
By god liberate the Irish!
Try to entice the Ottomans into an alliance and attacking the Austrians (Said Ottomans twice by accident)
??? You want an alliance with the ottomans or war with them?
@@lionheartx10 Sorry, I meant ally with them, and have them attack the Austrians. I guess the voice to text heard Ottomans twice lol
It would be cool if you play Napoleon toysl war yes if you are currently in England then free Scotland and Ireland cool
can darthmod be gotten from steam
It's it's own download online but it's super quick and easy to install/setup, plenty of guides online!
The attack columns just look silly with the lines so long
The weak point is that the AI is dumb as a box of rocks. Too bad this game cannot be PvP.
The game can be pvp lol
Really? Hmm, that would an interesting series and require significantly different tactics. @@lionheartx10
