Annnnnnnd I'm back.....

 I've been away visiting family but now I'm home and there are a vaste number of outside chores waiting......BUT...it's raining, not just one day, but most of the week, or more. (Yay!)

Now, I happen to have some new-to-me French Revolution troops which have been drilled and reinforced, and are ready to get into action. I have a feeling they will be sent to the West Indies....

West Indies

Unless they get orders to face a Royalist uprising supported by British troops...

Breton rising

Or it could be in Flanders, early in the wars.......

I'd better start collecting news and awaiting the votes from Parliament as to which expedition should be attempted.

Now published.....

 The battle report on the Gathering of Hosts is now up:

Contact

The pass through the mountains is not a speedy route for an army, and the raven's message gave just enough time for the local nobles to gather their levies, horse and foot. 

By chance, the Queen was visiting the various provinces and when the word was received, she immediately sent her Horse Guards to face the enemy while she called on all of her subjects to be alert along their borders,  and to send their pledged contingent to a Royal army.

Battle is nigh!
