Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

Gentlemen, be advised that His Britannic Majesty will henceforth reward his officers for long service with an outstanding combat record by bestowing upon them <u>titles of nobility</u>.

The criterium used will be the total number games (including maneuvers), on the condition that the overall ratio of battle wins to battle losses (excluding maneuvers) must be positive, as follows:

Baron – 40 games
Viscount – 90 games
Earl – 150 games
Marquess – 250 games
Duke – 400 games

The title comes with a territorial distinction that is taken from a historical battlefield (the map, not the scenario) on which the officer in question has won a significant victory, and is used as follows:

Baron [surname] of [field]
Viscount [surname] of [field]
Earl of [field]
Marquess of [field]
Duke of [field]

The own wish of the officer in question shall be accomodated, as long as the title is not already taken. Upon being elevated to a higher title of nobility, a new territorial distinction can be chosen, so Viscount Jones of Cowpens could become the Earl of Brandywine. [8D]

Officers who qualify for a title of nobility will be asked, in due course, to submit their wish with respect to their territorial title. Alternatively, they may also do so on their own initiative.

Of course you will have to give them up when you eventually lose the war of course.... [;)]

Dierk, didn't know you were a fan for fancies[;)]

Distributing things that arent yours again I see...How about Count de Money for you and your tax collectors. That's probably more fitting.[:p]

The Americans might find this handy as well. Looking at the structure put together in fine Prussian fashion by Mr. Walter..

"Baron [Surname] of [field]...."

You could have stuff like Baron Amos of cornfield
Baron Cox of cottonfield
and so forth and so on...

Strictly historical my indian friend, strictly historical ... [8)]

I gather you have just cast a longing eye on the title of Baron Reed of Burnt Corn. [:D]

Everyone knows the British are so full of themselves. That is why I have to agree with the Colonials at times.

Just as well, got to kill somebody. [;)]
