Please be sure to include credits. Including a colorful picture of a battle is very nice, but having the name and dates of the painter is even better.

If you're a modder, you can sometimes find exactly the image that you need if you know the names of the painters who portrayed that kind of thing, even if you don't know the name of the paintings. It's amazing what turns up when you know to do an image search under the name Detaille.

Reading that Baron Dieskau sent regular letters to France as a prisonner describing in graphic details the (lack of) healing of his wound to the groin, I tried to find them on the Internet but unfortunately could not

Baron Dieskau was a leader with experience in the petit war. In his native germany since the rule of the father of frederick II this way of war was extensive to all the army. Sharpshooters and ambushes are the principal job of the prussian light infantry. So, when he arrives in canada, the canadian way of war is not so different to him like his counterparts in the british side. The ambush at fort edwar road tells that. The domiciliaire warriors prefere the ambush to the siege of fort edward, Dieskau with his experience acept the rule of forest warfare and agree with the indians. His only error was when he decide attack sir William Johnson at the head of lake George. When he did it, it was in european fashion. The batallions of regulars marching against a entrenched opponent, sounds to me the first bunker hill. After two waves of grapeshoot, and musket fire, the rout happens...he was captured and never more participated in the war. In my point of view it was a great loss for the french effort in the new world, because of all the metropolitan officers he was the only with experience in this kind of war...
