Dark Red: drive on the wrong side
Light Red: infidels, who left the true path
Purple: infidels, who once were confused, but now are lost
Dark Blue: the chosen people
Light blue: adopted into the chosen people
Now maybe I'm just a soppy old post-colonialist, but I do feel a special affection for 'our team' (especially since Samoa took the brave decision a few months back to join the Blue Army). It's only Napoleon's fault that anyone outside France drives on the wrong side at all - silly man.
And on the subject of Napoleon, he also famously came acropper trying to hold that European-Asian border, and, as any Risk player knows, that's just asking for trouble: it's Australasia that wins you world dominance - put all your armies on Papua New Guinea ...
... and watch it sink.
Poor Napoleon-- no therapists in his day to cure him of his alleged 'issues' with cats, and 'Risk' not invented yet!

Hi, David and Maria,
Wish I were over-there-ing! Ah, well, in spirit'll have to do. Lots of love to you both. (this seems the fastest way to send a message to you!)
