Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

It is with great pleasure that I announce a change of command for V Corps.

After a wonderful time as commanding officer of V Corps, General Dejan Zupancic is stepping down due to real life pressures.

Effective this date, Colonel Roy Purcell is assuming command of V Corps. With the assumption of this command

General Dejan Zupancic is hereby assigned to command of 3eme Brigade of 1ere Division of V Corps.

Good luck to both officers on thier new commands

"Of course he is buying", says the Hanoverian Guardsman. "Helga, my brigades would like twelve casks of brandy, twenty-seven barrels of beer, the good German stuff mind you, ten cases of Jagermeister...."

"Yes, yes, my boys will load it all on one of our supply wagons."

Thanks, Roy!

Oh, and Congratulations!!!

One thing about the peacocks, they do enjoy their drinks...................

Congrats and I will have another!

General Purcell, salute!

Congratulations Roy! You will be a fine Commander of V Corps, in the honored tradition stretching back from General Dupancic, to General Lauriston, to the most esteemed, Marechal Lannes.

Now, let us retrieve some of those barrels of spirits that the Hanoverian's are trying to abscond with.

Regards,

Officers - Salute

Thank you gentlemen - for the kind words and well wishes - Olga - the bar is open on my tab tonight ( psst Olga - as to the cases loaded on the fine Hanoverian's supply wagon please substitute the watered down brandy in place of my fine cognac - after a few of their magic brews they loose all taste sensations so it would be waste of fine alcohol ).

enjoy gentlemen

"Abscond with? Why I will have you know, General Schmidgall, that these 'Hanoverian supplies' have been duly paid for by Colonel Purcell. I would hate to think that his honor might be brought into question."

"And Colonel Purcell, just so you know, there are probably no officers in any of our combatant armies that will be quicker to spot watered down booze than the good German soldiers that I am so proud to command."

"Well, except possibly for FM Blackburn, FM Nelms, FM Moss, FM Muddy...oh, I seem to see a pattern here. Ah, the discriminating taste buds of the Anglo-Allied Army!"

Best wishes on the occasion of promotion and take command of the V Corps. I'm running already to bring something that is worthy of a toast to celebrate this sublime moment- still young, but mostly of the spirit, officer saluted and came quickly to the bar. - Miss - turned to the charming barmaid - Can you give me General Purcell's favorite drink? And how much , my lovely, the whole bottle costs? - there was a kind of uncertainty in the voice of the officer Bataillon de Tirailleurs Corses. - But today, you will not pay - barmaid had seen officer's confusion - General Purcell pays the bill - she added quickly. - Oh, of course, he could feel offended if I paid - ordering alcohol clearly revived. - In this case two bottles please!

General Purcell,

Please accept my congratulation on your command!

And watch out for Allied senior officers, their bar tabs can cause some headache even with your new pay.

A salute to both Dejan for his long and meritorious service and to Roy for stepping up to assume the mantle of command of V corps.

Cheers!
