  1. I think the French will win, as they have elan and savoir-faire and panache and a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, and other words the Prussians lack. Plus, the fellow playing Grouchy is a taccticals genius. Grouchy for Emperor! This is a beautiful game on a beautiful table with beautifully-painted figures.

  2. I think you may be right Marshal Grouchy! He was after all of this the hero of the empire was he not?
