1814, vs Napoleon & Co. Or if you call it a separate war (most do), the attack on Norway to enforce the Kiel treaty would have been the last one IIRC (also in 1814).

I actually recognized the Civil War General, but Patroklos seems to have everyone beat at this game.

Well.. Duh?

Yeah.. bunch of Frenchies fought in Vietnam before Americans stepped in, and there's a famous battle of that when FFL (foreign legion) was sent into do their stuff, and the planners knew the plan sucked, and the vietnamese totally dominated the battle, it's a horrible story of how can you screw up a plan and send your men to death. Thousands went, only bunch came back from that. THat's another story of FFL, and how they are ... dispensable, and yet they go fight it out, and never surrender.

Ted, http://www.wargamer.com/articles/di...phu/default.asp <- in case you're interested. I haven't read the article, but I skimmed it through and I'v eread the story many times before. It's very interesting, and there is a reason why it's one of the most famous modern battles..
