On behalf of His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Alexander and Feld-marshal Prince Repnin, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Bill Barker to the Tarnopol Infantry Regiment with the rank of Podporuchik. He has just completed a successful training game with the illustrious Allied Commander in Chief, Andy Moss.

Please join me in welcoming this new officer to the ranks of the Russian Corps. :russianveryhappy:

Long Live the Tsar. Ura! Ura! Ura!

Feld-marshal Cann,
Count Austerlitzky,
Russian Contingent COS.

Bill... All sorted out.. you are free to spread lies about the Frencha with yur other rabble :)

For those of us who create forum accounts... 3 step process

1- Create user account
2 - Assign user to a group
3 - Mark the new group assignment as the default for the user.

Step 3 was missing in this case.

anyone of us who create forum accounts can do all 3 steps

Many thanks John

Sorry for the mess gentlemen, but the Sgt @ Arms made me stand at the door until he could find an officer that recognized me. Tough club. Seems I'm in the right place.

And for the record, I don't know any lies about the French, but I do know it to be truth that they were only successful with a Corsican at the helm. :wink:

Long Live the inventor of vodka! Ura! Ura! Ura!

Can anyone suggest a popular scn for a fight? I have HPS NRC, Wagram and Austerlitz. I prefer large battles, but want to do a few skirmishes first to test the waters. And I need time to study the battlefields that all of you have obviously crossed many times. <glancing around at all the shiny brass>

I can partner up Bill if he can't find anyone else. Hopefully one of the Russians is available.

Which scn? And who's your partner? I like to size a man up before smackin him in the chops. On a dare, a man once ran blindfolded into a bar, swinging wildly. It did not end well. :hmmm:

I would like a training maneuver first actually. I have played the old Talonsoft NiR set, but they won't install on Windows 7. I only just opened the new games and need to become familiar with the scenarios I have only ever played AI, except for a disaster vs Gary McClellan where I was taught Cav Warfare in detail. :frenchoops: He's the one who sent me the new games. He's also the one you should send the bill to if I damage any furniture. :wink:

Before you start ATTEMPTING to whip some French stalwarts :frenchroll: , please check out this thread.

If you need further help (AND Coalition members NEED lots of help :frenchlol: )please let me know and I will help you out.

A signature helps to identify you during challenges and just general kibitzing. :frenchvive1:
