Hanover had Salic law, no choice in the matter.

Not entirely. Contrary to Irish mythology/favourite pub quiz questions, when the British royals stumped up their own cash for the Famine victims in 1845-46, the Elector of Hanover chipped in, too (to the tune of about £1M by today's values - same as all the adult British royals, except HMQ, who gave £3M).

There was also a British-German (aka Anglo-German) Legion formed at the start of the Crimean War; at the end of the war it valiantly garrisoned Colchester and (even more valiantly) married local women, before being shipped off to the Cape of Good Hope.

Good stuff, thanks Baron.

Cancelled the Crimean war?

Don't tell me that the Anglo French are going to let the Russian Bear ravage the sick lady of Europe?!!!

Something about it being your job Grizz?

That does look rather beautiful and oh so tempting Dave - small scale perfection.

well nearly 20 minutes have passed and Purps hasn't appeared to continue his fantasy claim that he is small scale perfection. The words of summoning must be losing their effect

Somebody's got to do it!

My Great European wars are 1854, 1866, 1870, 1880, and 1900. Of course, in OTS many of the troops can be used for more than one.

You're a clever sod, Dave.
