I downloaded and saved the image to my computer, and used the "Copy" function, but the forum does not seem to allow "Paste" to happen. As a test, I copied the image on e-mail to my second account and it went through OK.

It must be an OFT problem on my part. (or PEBKAS)

Thank you, anyway, for taking the effort to post the cartoon for the others on this forum

Severe cold can be rough on armies but is not as lethal as epedemics - which are almost unheard of on Safehold...

Here is a fairly famous chart showing how many men Napoleon had as he marched on Moscow. Most were killed by Typhus.
