David,
ReplyDeleteHad you been wise enough to work on these "French-style" uniform templates sooner, your poor town of Tippelbruder would not be about to be burnt to the ground.
It isn't wise to ignore the wishes of the King of Stagonia, you know. And, alas, it is too late fro him to call back his troops. The dye has been cast (Koenig Maurice like puns).

No, I simply don't believe it. And where will you get your uniform templates from when Tippelbruder *is* burned to the ground? (If it is - perhaps you'll get a bloody nose instead...)
