MV Warcraft

Of course one of the problems with Venerabile French warships and their corvettes and frigates is the inordinate amount of time they spend on the gaming boards of the high seas, messing around with the teenage sector, press-ganging young people into their revolutionary navy, promoting Iranian backed revolutionary guards of the old imperial kind, acquiring oil barrels and minions, the huge over stuffed kind of the stuffed shirt type, and generally being a payne in the neck to deal with, putting out to sea then and harassing the young day trippers and barges of the Thames and other rivers too like the noble Severn, dreadful lot, and all because they wish to support the Waterloo side of their campaigns, when Waterloo is eventually decided upon, methinks. Meanwhile the Iberian peninsular campaign is going to plan. Even their old Napoleon figure, sitting astride his white Magenta warhorse like a tin pot god, is not that keen on an 1815 chiefly because he has lost a few battles now in that campaign to the Allies in Lisbon fresh from their landings.
