bluegargantuaDear Napoleon,
As one megalomaniac to another, listen to me when I tell you that this whole "invasion" thing isn't going to work out. You've already lost a third of your troops and you haven't actually engaged anyone. Your supply chain is in shambles and it's July. I hardly have the heart to keep reading about how much worse it's going to get come the winter.
You gotta prioritize here. If Britain is your foe, get your navy whipped in to shape. If Russia is your foe, legitimize the Kingdom of Poland and free the serfs. But you can't hack fighting them both *and* deal with Spain. In fact, just stiffen up the Prussian states and get the Spanish question settled.
And maybe don't be such a dick to the people you clobber. That'd help too.
Sincerely,
Tom
