Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Many Allied officers complained about the "Full Barrett" strategy in BG Waterloo. This ruthless way of destroying the Anglo-Dutch defense line before the arrival of the Prussians has made war intolerable and disgusting. [xx(]

For the sake of a more human warfare, I offer myself as a guinea-pig to elaborate counter measures that will help thwart such an ignominious plan! [^]

To promote historical realism, I modified the original scenario to make sure that 100% Prussians arrive 100% on time (I hope that will help).Will any "experienced" Allied Officer volunteer in such a noble quest? [:D]

This challenge is SO tempting to accept!

But sorry - I love your idea of having the Prussians arrive on time but I must pass on the game.

Some other Allied officer absolutely MUST accept this offer! I would if I had the time to commit to such a game.

Typical..

Allied rabble makes a lot of noise and trash talks a perfectly sound tactic but when push comes to shove, they dissappear like so much cheap gin.

Capitaine Lee,

Since you must already have read the other threads in the Rhine Tavern, you know the essence of the Full Barret. The details can be found at le [url="http://mikedavies122863.tripod.com/college_imperial_du_mars/full_barrett.htm"]Collège impérial de Mars[/url].

As far as my magnaminous proposal for help is concerned, I am surprised to find out that no Allied officer volunteered yet!
Morale must pretty low among those poor guys. [:(]

John - your response sounds more like a Charlie Chan, Confucious saying!

Confucious says: John's troops if faced by mine in Twin Peaks-AAC will melt like butter on toast!
