Game Time Is: 2000 Hours, 14th October 1806

Whoo-weee, we're having some fun now, aren't we kids?

If you need a locational sitrep or other information, please let me know.

I'm planning to begin fatigue calculation (with one exception) very soon.

You didn't know? My Corps has already sailed to Berlin. We got there 3 days ago and we've been in the Tiergarten on the piss ever since. -- Marshal Soult, October 1806

A pile of clarificatory dispatches just went out.

I'll wait through tomorrow to see if anyone cares to respond that then roll the clock...

Thuringia is lousy with couriers, but we should be moving forward to fatigue calculation shortly.

Please turn your minds and attentions to 0600 orders!

Another flurry of nocturnal orders (given what I already know if this terrain, I just can't imagine these fellows making their way about successfully, but there it is) so I pause just a moment, although the clock did advance by TWO hours!!

Fatigue calculation is done.

Lots of couriers still on the hoof so I won't fly to 0600, but I will march daily through these hours to keep the pace up a bit.

Very curious to find out in a small way just how readily these couriers would have gotten about...

Just a few hours until it's time to turn some Prussians into Choucroute garnie...

Gen. Freyberg: "Well, if you wave at them they'll usually wave back."

And that, my friends, is daylight.

Almost all orders are in place, so if you need anything further before the angry starts, let me know.

And with that I have sent my 400th dispatch.

Nothing quite like having the dispatch sent 11 hours before finally arrive.  How did these men make war...
