For me:  :frog:
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Nelson's mistress worshipped him like a god, while Nappy's mistress made fun of his tiny man-bits.

Rule Brittania!  :D

Such a touch choice.

One is a vile reactionary enemy to liberty and the French Republic who wanted to rule the world through violence and the other is Napoleon.

A tough choice. In hindsight (and I'm not talking about who wins, but rather long term consequences), I should probably side with the British, but without knowledge of the future, I think Napoleon's cause would have been more appealing.

Vive La France! Vive L'Empereur! :frog:

A necessary, temporary evil. We have a mission civilisatrice, after all.  :sleep:

Very touch choice.

On the one hand England was a parliamentary democracy, on the other it was allied with all of the reactionary monarchies. 

On the one hand France overthrew the old feudal order and created what was ostensibly a meritocracy.  And they had really badass uniforms.  On the other Boner nepotited half the countries in Europe with his brothers.

Slight edge to  :bowler:

France had Davout and the Dear Child of Victory. Boney had the coolest subordinates. Soult looting anything not nailed down, Murat leading cavalry charges like a maniac, etc. etc.

:wub:

Also, the tread starter is owed one punch in the nuts, as I now want to play a Napoleonic wargame. YOU FUCK.
