Hang in there JMM.
You know.....it is an instructive experience to want something as badly as your simulation-when I do not speak more than a very paltry amount of the Authors and Developers' language. Anglo-English hubris normally goes largely unnoticed, (especially with the Internet's english-speaking dominance). You may be in for a surprise, many of us 'ugly americans' are amenable to laying aside our collective perceived 'arrogances' when other worthies can break through our self-occupation and command our attention, (grin)!
BTW-while I trace my roots back to Daniel Boone on one side of my family(along with a million+ others), my fathers' side leads straight back to Cpl. Jean DeMeaux, (formerly of Lafayettes' Legion), and a settler in the then 'wilds' of Nashville, Tennessee, lol! So, quite literally without the French contribution, lol, I would not even BE here, hahaha.
As a 30 year Napoleonic Gamer, I await your release with great joy. (My own favorite armies are the Legion de Pollanaise, the Kings' German Legion, and the Portugese Army).....then the Bavarians, the Russians, and the Prussians. In my circle it was deemed somewhat "cheesy" to want to play as the French or English. The French were simply too GOOD, (too easy to win with), and while the English were in the same club, they were just too small an establishment to take seriously on the Continent, lol!
The American Author, John Ringo, has an interesting translation of a letter written by a recent French veteran returned from Afganistan on his website.....relating his experiences with, and opinion of, the American soldiers he stood shoulder to shoulder with. Makes good reading.....
Make this project live any way you can, Monseiur! We are rooting for you with our support, and our purchase prices, whatever it costs! ( and we thank humbly for your own 'blood, sweat, and tears'.....)
