It's all Canada's fault.

TheLorax 04-28-2004 09:51 AM

The only solution is to declare war on Canada.

Yeah, what was the last battle the French won? One of the ass-whippings they handed one of their colonies?

Actually it was the French Revolution wasn't it?

elSicomoro 04-28-2004 09:46 PM

Perhaps they need a warehouse manager.

Well, you gotta admit, they were smart enough to get out of Vietnam before that particular colony whooped OUR ass.

mrnoodle 04-28-2004 10:48 PM

I believe they rattled sabres at...Martinique? the Caymans? One of them. Maybe the islands decided to let them win so they wouldn't lose the lucrative cruiseship industry.

elSicomoro 04-28-2004 10:53 PM

Those French soldiers are doing a mighty fine job in Ivory Coast right now!

Middle of the bottom shelf of my bookshelf: INWO and Illuminati. I got a bunch of INWO cards, but I don't have the patience to play a CCG. I do enjoy Illuminati, though.

Just curious, we're starting a GURPS: Space game this weekend.

Happy Monkey 04-29-2004 09:40 AM

I never got into RPGs, except for thumbing through the sourcebooks in bookstores.

Point of order. They got THEIR ass whipped at Dien Bien Fu.
THEN, we got OUR ass whipped. ;)

True enough, but you must admit that their ass whipping was relatively minor while WE really took it up the rectum!

The American Revolution is the most recent solid French victory (as a war) that I can think of off hand.

They won Verdun, too, though it worked against them later.

Um, details please.

Happy Monkey 04-30-2004 08:29 AM

Due to their animosity with the English, the French were our biggest allies in the Revolutionary War.

I'm aware of that, but I'm asking about any specific military victory, not aid in general.

From ESSAYS ON THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION by E. Wayne Carpe

"It is probably not going too far to say that America owes its independence to foreign intervention and aid, especially from France. The French monarchy sent arms, clothing, and ammunition to America; it also sent soldiers and the French Navy. Most importantly, the French kept the United States government solvent by lending it the money to keep the Revolution alive. The magnitude of French support of the American Revolution can be glimpsed at the battle of Yorktown. There, the majority of George Washington's 15,000 man Continental Army were French soldiers. Washington's men were clothed by the French, the rifles they used were French, and French gold paid their wages. Nor must we forget that it was the French Navy that trapped Cornwallis's soldiers at Yorktown by preventing English ships sent from New York from rescuing the British army. "

Yeah, Franklin was the man.

At least the French were nice enough to plant trees so that the next invading army could march in the shade.

Good, Pierre. Roll over. Here's a sauce.
