Battle of Brienne was fought today, 29th January, in 1814.
(I had never heard of this one.)
The town is in North East France and the battle here took place because the 6th coalition invaded France in the hope of overthrowing Napoleon.
As the roads were bad because of the weather, Napoleon was able to catch his old enemy, Blucher, with only one wing of his army: the Russian contingent under Lt Gen Baron Osten-Sachen, about 17000 men. Napoleon had 30000 on hand, but after his earlier reverses most were straight out of training camps.
Napoleon pinned down Blucher’s forces with Grouchy’s Cavalry and Horse Artillery, while Marshal Ney took the Young Guard into the town and captured the Chateau with the aid of Victor’s 2nd Corps. That night Blucher was forced to withdraw, after nearly being captured withGeneral Gneisenau. (Napoleon also narrowly missed capture.)
Blucher’s losses were 4000 casualties to Napoleon’s 3000.

Yes, the foraNazis are a force to be reckoned with. :P

Hey Falk

Hey, it was my country to annex Austria, not the other way round … so, why should i be scared by Arnie? :)
EJ, Fin made quite some sense, most of the times. And he lived in France and explained their positions quite often, so i bet it was not Max. Xi… well, i don’t expect a high school kid to disguise as someone older… (AFAIR Xi was one of the older ones here…) … if that doesn’t count… then you must be Max ;)…
I think i can remember there was one other talking a lot of strange things and then disappearing… just can’t remember the name.

President Jacques Chirac = Nuclear Warmonger in disguise

HAHA yay an argument :), yea Falk i want mocking France i was mocking my friend Max who posted here a couple times as NationalFederalist. and i think once or twice as Penguinman. He is a ruthless French basher with no logic to his argument. and that STFU well that was so tempting lol i just wanted to use that.
-
@El:
I just think he hates sAsholes in general. More specifically, I believe he hates those who do not make logical sense, especially when explaining their viewpoints.
This clearly isnt the case because he loves to hear himself talk, and seems to be inlove with himself. This right here proves your point wrong because Falk is an Asshole himself lol.
and yes Falk i am an Asshole aswell, but at least i dont get kicks from making fun of kids who are like 20 years younger then i lol :P
-
and yes Falk i am an a**hole aswell, but at least i dont get kicks from making fun of kids who are like 20 years younger then i lol :P
I’m guessing that’s because there aren’t any yet (if you are roughly the same age as Janus)
-
and i am not that old … yet :P
… or are you much younger than i think?and the “kicks” is probably more of a reduction of the years i have until my first heart attack :)
