I have just finished my training as a French officer and I'm looking for a challenge against a Coalition officer, in order to show my loyalty to l'Empereur. The games I can play are: Campaign Bautzen Campaign Leipzig Battleground Napoleonic Wars. I'm open to discuss optional and house rules. I think I could play at least three or four turns each week. Any taker can send me a private message in the forum. Regards, |

My esteemed Lt Summers, you have had 38 views but no takers. This can only mean that you are, as I believe it is a French requirement, not a good looking guy. Usually, when a Allied victory portrait is done, it is preferred that the loser does not look like his father was the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now that I mention it, he was short too, just like Napoleon. Could it be .....? So I will take pity on you and ask that we arrange a Leipzig game. A messenger pigeon to my tent will work for the details if you wish. It will be weird to have a Spaniard playing a Frenchman and a Texan playing a Spaniard. What a twisted world we live in! |

Dear Mr. Bradshaw: I appreciate your post reply but I have to refuse your requirement by now. My post didn't have any replies because I asked to be answered by PM. I have found three opponents and I've started two Leipzig and one Bautzen games, so I have closed the post: this is enough for me by now because of my limited time. Anyway, it will be a pleasure to crush you on the battlefields if I find some time to do it in the future, or as soon as I end some of the short scenarios I have started. It's true Napoleon wasn't a tall man but he didn't need it to rule over Europe for years. Yes, it's kind of weird to play as French being a Spaniard man (I felt like a traitor last week when we celebrated here the anniversary of the May 2nd, the day when the Spanish people rose against the napoleonic rule in 1808), and to play napoleonic games against gamers who lived in other continent. I think globalization have some good things after all. Best regards, Carlos |

Egad, man. If it causes you a moral dilemma to be a Spaniard in service to the Corsican imp (which it should by the way), then by all means come to your senses and join the Anglo-Allied Army while there is yet time.  The Corsican's path leads to ultimate ruin, despite what La Grunge Armee's perfumed leaflets proclaim. The path of our benevolent King George leads to glorious victory.

Anglo-Allied Army, I do not think so! Besides his signature looks so good, if I do say so myself! |

Until we meet on the battlefield then, my Spaniard in disguise. What a world .... what a world. To see that the French have brain washed young loyalists with dreams of can-can dancers only to be shown canister; dreams of Pinot Noir to only be given vinegar; and promises of glorious victories only to be set upon by superior allied commanders ending with your parade of shame back to your lines. Vaya con Dios, Senor Summers |
