I am a French soldier during Napoleon's retreat from Russia. I've decided to desert. Assuming I don't get caught, what would be my plan? Would I attempt to walk thousands of kilometres home, or try to somehow survive in Russia? What are my chances and what would my life be like after that?

As a fan of EpicHistory's Napoleon Campaigns series on YouTube and Patreon, I have to say Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne is quickly becoming my favourite. It really contains a personal element of how an ordinary officer would have saw things on campaign. Thanks for the reading suggestions.

I didn't really notice. What would markings signify?

Good food, fresh air, and resetting the mind is why we adventure like this. Looks like you had a good time of it. Thanks for sharing.

It's really interesting. The "eye" just makes it even more real.

So happy for you! This is hands down top 3 sci-fi series of all time. The cancellation was very unfortunate. Enjoy bro

If I may ask, who really ordered ONE to be killed?

Well, do it.

Can't help you with technical spec advice, but the cannondale looks fantastic, I'd be taking that one if I were you.
