This week’s campaign

Battle of Waterloo, DErlon, 1815, Tuesday noon

[883] [advice-waterloo-5] Friday on the way home: keep only 1815 and 06 for Battle of Waterloo on the notebook at the reading room. Use “DErlon” as the heading for Battle of Waterloo. At one entry, write 1815 before 06. Do not build a scoreboard beside Battle of Waterloo. Leave DErlon and 06 alone on the notebook.

Battle of Waterloo is “DErlon” in 1815, and the figure kept with that entry is 06. Do not add this figure to the sum of another war. Keep only the scale on that page. Write only the date, the place, the entry, and the scale, and leave the score of winning or losing blank. Michel Ney (French marshal) is a named maker of the Battle of Waterloo story. The cavalry charges and a later execution (1815) made him a romantic ruin. At the reading room, open Battle of Waterloo so the notebook shows 1815 first, 06 next, and “DErlon” beside them.

This week, in the reading room, open only that campaign or weapon page, and write on one side of the notebook only the name, the year, and the scale. Before you close the book, look once at the notebook to see you did not read the thickness of an arrow as a moral score. The order is Battle of Waterloo, 1815, 06, then “DErlon”. When one entry is done, look again only at 1815 for Battle of Waterloo and leave 06 on the notebook.

Do not build a scoreboard of countries, and do not write which side was stronger as a rank. Check that the entry in the notebook is one campaign or one weapon, and do not attach a country’s total to that line. Write only the date, the place, the entry, and the scale, and leave the score of winning or losing blank. Match DErlon with 06 at the reading room before you close 1815 for Battle of Waterloo. Battle of Waterloo is “DErlon” in 1815, and the figure kept with that entry is 06.

This week, in the reading room, open only that campaign or weapon page, and write on one side of the notebook only the name, the year, and the scale. Battle of Waterloo is “DErlon” in 1815, and the figure kept with that entry is 06.1815
