one question, what would you ask? Define your own semantic interpretations, but assume he'd provide an answer. |

From your perspective, what changed? Assuming truth serum applied, keen to get data on shift from possibly enlightened leader to seeming despot from actual subject. That or why did you only ever have one cold hand? |

Do you really feel like you win when you lose? ;) (Appologies to ABBA . . . ) |

If you could do it all over again, what would you do different? And I'm not asking about specific points of strategy or tactics, but overall life decisions. |

I would ask him if he would change the organization of his army (more lancer regiments and fewer cuirassier units ? fewer Guard regiments ? introduce irregular cavalry ?) |

Why didn't you refresh that poison potion that you carried around your neck before you had to use it? Paul :) |

Wouldn't finishing off Spain be a better move than invading Russia? |

After the two rounds, the other nations were happy to let you rule France, why did you keep pushing the issue? |
Winston Smith | 24 Apr 2017 2:15 p.m. PST |
What would you have called the battle of Waterloo if you had won? Oh, I get two questions? Have you ever tried Preparation H? |

In hindsight, when and how should you have stopped? Who would win a fist fight between Marie Walewska and Marshal Bernadotte? |

Could you have beaten Frederick? |

I had a seance and put your questions to Napoleon 'who sends his love to all his fans, especially Kevin' and this is what he told me in suprisingly good English.
"What were you THINKING???" Fried onions tonight! ***************************************
Who is going to win the 2.30 at Kempton Park? Err! Me of course!….What is this ‘Kempton park'? *************************************** From your perspective, what changed? The calendar. Assuming truth serum applied, keen to get data on shift from possibly enlightened leader to seeming despot from actual subject. Che cosa? That or why did you only ever have one cold hand? Because two cold hands would be a ! **************************************
Do you really feel like you win when you lose? ;) Explain "you lose'' and " ;) " *************************************
Mate, seriously. Russia? I know! Terrible wasn't it? *************************************
If you could do it all over again, what would you do different? And I'm not asking about specific points of strategy or tactics, but overall life decisions. Joined the ‘Eeeenngglliiiisshh' Royal Navy. *************************************
I would ask him if he would change the organization of his army (more lancer regiments and fewer cuirassier units ? fewer Guard regiments ? introduce irregular cavalry ?) Brought too many lancer and light cavalry figures have we? ************************************* Why didn't you refresh that poison potion that you carried around your neck before you had to use it? It slipped my brilliant mind. ************************************* Wouldn't finishing off Spain be a better move than invading Russia? Perhaps! But it all depends on who we would draw in the next round. ************************************* After the two rounds, the other nations were happy to let you rule France, why did you keep pushing the issue? I wanted to: RULE THE WORLD! Of course. *************************************
What would you have called the battle of Waterloo if you had won? La Belle Alliance! ‘A fitting play on your ‘Eeeennngggllliisssshhh' words' I would have named it thus because it would have been apt for a ‘ding-dong battle' Oh, I get two questions? Have you ever tried Preparation H? I tried monkey glands once, but it made me so bad tempered that I went ape! ************************************** Why can't you see the limits of your greatness? Because the sea was calm and it rained too hard. ************************************** Q: Have you got Pauline's phone number? Che Cosa? *************************************** In hindsight, when and how should you have stopped? When I had nowhere to go but the edge of the table. Who would win a fist fight between Marie Walewska and Marshal Bernadotte? Marshal Bernadotte. Suffice to say only this, Marie loved ‘fistwithcuffs' but Bernadotte was a dab hand at it. ***************************************
Could you have beaten Frederick? With a whisk! **************************************
"Did you actually think Wellington was a bad general?" I had to! Otherwise ‘Brechtel',Cronin and Roberts would never have forgiven me! *************************************
"So, why no Guard Hussars?" Do you know how much it cost me with the Chasseurs A Cheval, Mamalukes, and Guards of Honour? I couldn't find another Belgium to finance them! Paul :) |

I think "Ask Boney" should be a regular TMP feature – maybe even its own board (possibly a ouija board, given dibble's success in contacting the great man). And for those who don't like him, we could have "Ask Beaky" in which they contact the Iron Duke and get his opinion on stuff. |

Was there any military leader in history that you looked up to? |

Do you regret not having Bernadotte shot (twice) |

So what did you think of Steiger's portrayal and, apart from that, how did you enjoy the movie? |
Supercilius Maximus | 27 Apr 2017 7:31 a.m. PST |
And was the ending a surprise? |
Brechtel198 | 27 Apr 2017 11:18 a.m. PST |
Why didn't you follow the advice of Berthier and others to pull half of the veterans out of Spain in January 1813 and send them to face Prussia and Russia, reinforcing Eugene and the Army of the Elbe? |

Question Time: Napoleon the Great: Come forward! Cowardly Lion: Tell me when it's over… I wanna go home! Napoleon the Great: I am Napoleon, the Great and Powerful! Who are you? WHO – ARE – YOU?! GlacierMI: If you please — I am GlacierMI… the small and meek. We've come to ask… Napoleon the Great: SILENCE! GlacierMI: [cries out and runs back to the others] Oh! Jiminy Crickets! Napoleon the Great: The Great and Powerful Napoleon knows why you have come. Step forward, Tin Man! [He obeys.] You dare to come to me for a heart, do you, you clinking, clanking, clattering collection of colligenous junk?! Tin Man: Uh, yes-yes sir. Y-y-yes, Your Honor. Y'see, uh, a while back, we were walking down the Yellow Brick Road, and - Napoleon the Great: QUIET! Tin Man: Whoa! [retreats] Napoleon the Great: And you, Scarecrow, have the effrontery to ask for a brain, you billowing bale of bovine fodder?! Scarecrow: [He bows and approaches on his knees] Yes, Your Honor-- I mean Your Excellency-- I mean Your Wizardry! Napoleon the Great: Enough! [Scarecrow retreats] And you, Lion… [Lion steps forward but is too frightened to speak] WELL?! [Lion faints, and the others rush to his side. Scarecrow fans him with his hand in an attempt to revive him.] GlacierMI: You should be ashamed of yourself! Frightening him like that, when he came to you for help! Napoleon the Great: Silence, whippersnapper! The Beneficent Napoleon has every intention of granting your requests. [Lion instantly regains consciousness and sits up.] |
