Interlude...

So Luke and I have decided to advance the clock about 10 years and fight new war. In this case I have traded Prussia for Austria. The Austrian Army isn't as good as the Prussian Army but I don't have to worry about my Italian flank. Luke now has what are arguably the two best armies of the Period the English and the Prussian. It remains to be seen what he does with them. Also England and France will mix it up in the new world as well as the old so look for some adventures in India and America as well.

If your wondering this is what happened after the war to our hero's.

In All some 6000 Scottish refugees made their way officially or unofficially to France, were General Burre was their constant advocate. General Burre and his Friend the head of the Cameron Clan have angered many French nobles by their quest for a Stewart kingdom Eventually General de Burre was given status as Governor General of India, where he began a small Scottish settlement which might one day provide a home to the exiled king James.
