To All: Great to see participation in the quiz, though I am dubious if some of you were taking it seriously...
Anyway, I will release the results now and have an update sometime today or tomorrow. But first, feedback.
Eöl, Helmold, canonized: Thank you, I do try
comagoosie: Indeed, now we will see if the Dragoons are any good in offense rather than defense. But whatever the weather, I intend to make 100% use of their much greater speed!
Enewald: Perhaps they are not that common, but they did militarisitcally exist at this time, and I will not miss a chance to surround 60,000 Russians. Anything to make sure Russia won't come knocking too soon in the future.
rasmus40: To be honest, I didn't even notice that it had that name attached to it. I will be next careful in the future, but I fear that would have been near impossible to do without it. I will put a screenie of the front up in the next update, sure, it was just a little messy with tons of new armies appearing.
robw963: Great that you have caught up, pal. As for when the goose-step came into service, I don't honestly know, but at a guess I would say that it is probably in place. But yes, Prussian history at this stage is facinating.
Hardraade: Thanks for catching up, and thanks for your support. Victoria presents so many different levels of play, as you mentioned, and it can be hard to get a right mix of political, economical and military events coming into play, and then trying to inter-twine them into a story line. You did it well
Prussia is also one of the best countries to present all of these levels, coming, I would say, just under the United States for writer friendliness.
