Re: Stirpes Calendar
Erh.. what exactly do you consider offensive?
If I had wanted to be offensive against France, I would have put the battle of St. Quentin.
I was going to add the battle of Bailén too, which marks the liberation of Spain from the Napoleonic troops. But then, will you consider it offensive too?
