You were the one who made it cool though. At least until today. Still, presumably colonial-era British troops can kick the shit out of Napoleonic-era Frenchmen! Whoah, I just looked to the right, attempting to think of a comeback to 'you can't judge me, i'm Michael Caine', and I see Michael Caine staring at me from my Get Carter mug. Damn.
We can't possibly lose to them, they're French (even though most of them aren't actually French). You see, Michael Caine has unholy powers. I have inherited some of them by using his image.
Well a teenager suddenly commanding the scattered French army to win the War of the Roses is pretty impressive.
The War of the Roses was a war for the throne of England between the House of Lancaster (the red rose) and the House of Yorkshire (the white rose). The war with Joan of Ark was the Hundred Years War, which was a war between England and France for the French throne.
The War of the Roses was an English Civil War where they threw roses at each other because of a lack of swords. The Hundred Years is the longest running game of risk in History.
