@#1 Person: Icmancin never claimed Venice, so you are free to take it.
@Capulet: Sorry to hear that.
@All others: orders due as usual, get them in. The lacking ordersets from the big powers (except das, who sent them early, no less) are discouraging.

Marshall Johan Karl von Schmutt, Count of Augsburg
Born in Augsburg in 1748 to Hermann and Isabell von Schmutt, Johan Karl was the second of 4 sons born to a blessed marriage. As young he attended private schools in Munich and Osnabruck, before, at the age of 17, he enrolled in the French École Militaire.
Study at the French Military Academy was hard, but he proved up to the challenge and graduated with honours in 1767 with the rank of second lieutenent.
The first years after his graduation was peaceful and he worked hard as a diligent soldier, constantly seeking to expand his knowledge. Several times forces led by him in mock battles came out victorious and he soon caught the eye of higher ranking officers.
Having achieved the rank of Captain he was sent with a small French contingent to fight in the American War of Independence in 1778, but the first engagement of his corps ended in defeat at the battle of Savannah. Even so, young captain von Schmutt was one of the few to accomplish his task though he was forced to abandon his objective later due to the failures of the other allied units.
After this he was transferred to the command of Marquis La Fayette under whose leadership he excelled in the defence of Virginia and finally also participated at the siege of Yorktown.
The years following the war in America were quiet save for an incident in 1786 when von Schmutt travelled to Austria to avenge his younger brother Wilhelm, who had been killed by a minor Austrian nobleman. Not getting any help from the Austrian authorities, he took matters into his own hands and killed the offender in a dual. Following this he had to quickly leave as the Austrians sought to capture and imprison him.
By the start of the revolution in 1789 von Schmutt had reached the rank of Brigadier des armées and had become a well-known part of the French high command. During the revolution von Schmutt did his part, though he didn't like having to kill citizens of his adopted nation. Even so he stayed and did his duty. As the fighting spread to outside the borders of France, von Schmutt and his brigade was sent north to fight the Austrians in the Austrian Netherlands. He excelled here driven by a personal hatred of the Austrians and earned several commendations for his results.
Following the outbreak of war between Austria and his native Bavaria he was released from service and allowed to return to his birthland to assume command of the Bavarian army and help them in their darkest hour. With the arrival of so skilled a commander morale has been greatly boosted in the Bavarian army and there is now a real belief that the war can be won.

I have no clue
But had to find an officer from the time period and he seemed to do well

Mind, I think you would've fooled pretty much everybody who didn't stare thoughtfully at that portrait yesterday while doing research for an althist set in early 19th century and involving that exact officer in a fairly important position.

Bavarian Gebirgsjäger
Surrounded as it is on three sides by mountainchains it is little wonder that the elite units of the Bavarian army are specialised mountain fighters.
From the majestic Alps to the south to the Bavarian Forest, Frankenwald, Odenwald, the Ore and Rhön mountains to the Thuringian Forest, highlands and mountains are a common sight and form the borders of Bavaria.
Warfare in these regions are hard for normal troops and as such it soon became apparent for the Bavarians that specialized troops trained for fighting in such surroundings would be a vital part of the national security.
Much of the training focuses on climbing and skiing as well as how to survive in the unfriendly environment on minimal provisions. The troops have to know how to operate independently and away from the supplylines as it is simply impossible to move large amounts of supplies in such terrain.
Due to their small numbers a lot of focus is also directed toward shooting skills. Training in all weather conditions from sunshine to blizzards, these troops learn how to make every shot count and how to use a blizzard as a cover to get in close rather than covering during the storm. As a result they are the best marksmen in the Bavarian army.
Equipped with uniforms matching the terrain they are dificult to catch and while they are at their best in high altitude mountains, they also work well in the lower chains to the east and north of Bavaria where they utilize their climbing skills to get to strongly defensible high ground positions as well as closing off passes to halt the advances of enemy armies.
Many are the times where only the valiant efforts and the skills of the Gebirgsjäger have halted or slowed down an invader giving the rest of the Bavarian army the time needed to get into position and meet the enemy on the field of battle.

Well, great minds and all thatdas said:Mind, I think you would've fooled pretty much everybody who didn't stare thoughtfully at that portrait yesterday while doing research for an althist set in early 19th century and involving that exact officer in a fairly important position.
Note to all!
As I'm going away for two weeks in a couple of days I've been discussing the situation with Panda and das and gotten clearence to have das control Bavaria for the two weeks I am gone. We already coordinate our efforts, so the arrive of a French officer to help out during this crisis should have any influence on the nation.
However, if anyone has a problem with this (mainly North King since you're the one I'm at war with) do let me know and I'll place Bavaria on temporary NPC status and have Panda run it.
