To All: I will write the next update this weekend, but will not post it until I have let a few more people catch up. I would expect monday or teusday I will post. Also, 3000th post!
AlexanderPrimus, canonized: Well, you know, even though we have already had 7 chapters of introducing characters, I don't feel we know any of them nearly as well as we should. I will try and remedy this over the next few updates, as well as meeting some new 'uns.
comagoosie: The Army of the East has 30-35,000 Brits, 45,000 French and 7,000 Turkish and Egyptian forces. Under Raglan, St. Arnaud and Omar Pasha.
Director: You really always show your brilliant feel for the attitude of the 19th C. in this and in Special Providence. The British haven't had to do big logistics, yes, and their improvised system has worked well since Napoleon's defeat. The French, however, have had to learn through exeprience in Algeria, something I intend to press home throughout this story, that organisation and planning is key to success.
Enewald: Well for now, the Russian army is on the Danube, so the Crimea is not the place the British have to be if they want to defeat the Russians. In two updates time I will go over this very thoroughly.
