(Good thing is I don't even have to change my uniform to do this ... except for the rank insignia. [:D])
So, you have been fighting loyally for the crown in North America for years ... you have served your country well. But, are you not occasionally tired of always the same settings ... wayside ambushes, dense forests, tiny engagements with even tinier forces on the tiniest clearings ... no serious opposition, just disorganized painted savages, even more disorganized rebels in rags, even the occasional Frog just an almost starved to death provincial whose sole (and vain) desire is to get home to his village in the old country alive?
Don't you just once in a while long for the <u>real thing</u> ... the ultimate gamble, the big battle that within one day decides the fate of a nation, nay of Europe? The supreme pageantry of great armies arranged in the open, tens or hundreds of thousands strong, the bright colours of the uniforms, music and banners, the splendid heavy cavalry ready to charge, the big batteries of 12-pounders? Don't you want to find out how it feels to face a really dangerous foe, the Grand Army of the Corsican Ogre that already crushed most of Europe's great powers, Britain alone excluded, at least once?
Well, come on then and join the British Army in the [url="http://www.wargame.ch/wc/nwc/Napann1.htm"]Napoleonic Wargaming Club[/url] ... you get the chance to command our own forces at Waterloo and Quatre Bras, the Prussians at Ligny, the Austrians in the campaign of 1809, the Russians in the campaign of 1812. You have the opportunity of becoming a member of the most élite, best-clad, and heaviest drinking army in the entire club ... don't hesitate--enlist at once!

Your country needs you, and will not fail to show its gratitude. [8D]
