French military victories... hmmm

There was this really tiny one, in October 1781. The French blockaded some port, to help their allies, won the war, then give them a big-ass statue to celebrate.


Now... where was that port again...

oh, i think i know which one you're talking about

i hear the statue is turning a bit green ... can't remember the name of the port though, or the country but iirc the other country would have been pummeled had their enemies been allowed to regroup

The statue retreated actually, thus the French's victory was actually, a Loss.

Which isn't a suprise, is it? ;)

actually the french did with their civil war

^__^

[edit]
and besides, naploeon did have a couple small victories before his empire crumbled and he got jailed on that island

if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic about the small victories the man pretty much pwned europe but made the same mistake hitler would make by trying to on Russia
[edit2]
and the offical NS maps vs offical CS maps is simply becuase there are an Sload more of cs sites and google realizes this and goes "hmm they probably meant cs"

just put offical ns maps in quotes and the "problem" is solved

Well i don't think this can be considered a victory but they did scared of the Chileans when they invaded, the french went "Stop pillaging or die!" and the Chileans stopped.

Well actually it was a race to see who could surrender first. And then when they realized they were fighting over surrendering, they had to have another fight over who could be the first to surrender at that fight. And on, and on. They'd still be at it today if a burly German hadn't come along and given them all a good whacking and then flipped a coin to decided who lost.
