No love for Anthony Eden? He was a super cool guy who let Egypt have the Suez Canal back!

Maj. General McClellan

General,

After several days in long conference with Secretary Stanton and General Halleck, the plans for the general summer offensive have my approval. It is bold, but bold action is sometimes called for. So much is dependent on these movements along all fronts of the war. For all to go as planned, delay no later than the fall on all fronts. You have asked time and again that I give you the tools to finish the job. I have given you those, and I will give you the freedom to carry out the plan as you see fit. You have my support, now go forward and show why you have earned it. My God be with you, and may Providence shine on our noble cause.

Yours,

Abraham Lincoln

Cump,

Attached with this communique are general orders from General McClellan for your army. They are for your eyes only at the moment. Read them over carefully and reply back as soon as possible on the likelihood of you engaging on this mission.

Yours,

U.S. Grant

Sam,

Orders received. My staff will carry out their own studies and render a verdict to me on how best to accomplish it. With permitting weather it is feasible. I can make it. I will make Georgia howl.

AegonVI said
Way to go offering to defend the Constitution by overriding it!

That's why the good good founders gave us amendments.

You just ripped off Churchill. That's the Rubicon moment for the CSA, gentlemen. Now there will be no mercy.

World in Revolution: 1861

My orders are in, you filthy rebel scum!

World in Revolution: 1861

Should be three. I've got some more orders I can do as well.

Interested, if there's still room.

PROCLAMATION 93

I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.

That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.

That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three (1863), all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.

And I do hereby enjoin upon and order all persons engaged in the military and naval service of the United States to observe, obey, and enforce, within their respective spheres of service, the act, and sections above recited.

Abraham Lincoln
President, United States of America

Do you want us to do like we did last time, Outcast, and wait until the next update's up before sending in more war orders?

I don't know. I'm severely tempted to try a reenactment of Belleau Wood.
