The Battle of Puebla

How must Ignacio Zaragoza have felt? Well I have no idea at the moment of the circumstances before the battle or whether he was very sure of himself or what the deal was, but there he was against one of the most powerful nations of the time... Was it a miracle that we won?
Anyway. I said that the deadline for the contest was in two months, but actually it's only one... In exactly one month I have to send to Spain at least a decoy of a dissertation. That means it must at least look like it's finished!
I am very motivated and plan to give my very best (and last) effort, but it is quite scary. Like the whole French army coming in my direction...
Oh well, here goes nothing:
"Montjoie! Saint-Denis!!"... (sorry, that was the other side... he he.. what would have been our battlecry?)

Marce, I don't know what the battle cry was, but yours could be: Arriba y Adelante!

Keep it going!

Haha... you are reinterpreting the Battle of Puebla at Munich fighting against Pamplona???? I just really hope Schelling is on your side! Good luck.

Ju, hi!
It's more like Schelling, the French, the German, the Greek (think Monty-Python's football teams all on one side), my professor, time, and also Zaragoza, and then Munich and Pamplona, all against me...
But I have some wonderful supporters, like you ;-) and especially those in heaven, so I think I can still win this one. Hehehe
