Opening Statments:

The Armee is hanging in there. We will have some major command changes soon, as Simone Tombesi our long serving Korps Kommandeur will be stepping down and his replacement has yet to be determined. The Club has a new automated system now, so hopefully end games will start flowing again.

We had some great new recruits to the Armee including Ludwig Schmidt whom has assumed command of the Kadettenkorps & 3. Infanterie-Brigade and has sky rocketed in rank and honors. The other new recruits are hard at working gaming as well and we appreciate having them all with us.

Some new additions to the website are the Prussian Related Links page that I had emailed about before, also some new Generalstab positions were created and will be filled as time goes on. Finally a huge medals reform took place and we have added a ton of new honors for members to gain.
