Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

So as I see it, Napoleon was the top roach and the rest of Europe was ruled by a bunch of lesser roaches who wanted to be the top roach. You could compare it to the Chicago Mops. But lets not, it takes away from the pomp and glory of it all. And that is what we are about, because I would not want to have been marching over the Russian plains as a French Infantry Officer!

So I guess it back to the tavern for a few brews.

"Ah, and another fine Frenchman with which I agree," says the jovial Hanoverian officer. "Perhaps it is the Jager, but these Frenchmen are all starting to speak sense now!"

Secretly, the Colonel wonders how long it will be until General Knox and Marechal Bardon arrive to clear the room, seeing how it is still 1809 in thier particular worlds....

Cossacks to right of them, Cossacks to left of them, Cossacks in front of them, Sabered and plundered....

Do Hanoverian Colonels always have to get in the last word? Sure seems like it.

The Hussar stands up and raises his glass toward the table of Capitaine Kling. "To Napoleon, the King of the Cockroaches." The Hussar then quickly downs the shot of Jager in his hand.

"Capitaine Kling, my honorable adversary from another struggle, it is good to see you doing well. I do regret that rebellious streak of yours has led you to throw in your lot with Le Empereur. C'est la guerre, mon ami. Let us drink to the memory of those who have fallen in our battles in that struggle far from here."

"I'll make a deal with you Capitaine Kling," says the Hanoverian Commander. "Let us come to an agreement that all worldly rulers are despotic fools, with but one exception. Who that exception is, well, we agree to keep that to ourselves. The only truly honorable men are the brave officers who strive upon the deadly fields of battle to keep these despot's many concubines and mistresses living in the lap of luxury to which they have grown so accustomed."

Raising his glass, the Commander toasts, "As the young Hussar said; To the brave and honorable officers of the Napoloenic conflict, those who are still here with us, and those who have passed on to greater glory!"

Downing the shot of Jager, the Colonel glances over at Ensign Moore. "This young Hussar drinks like a Russian Guardsman! I can already see that we will likely have to tie him to his horse tomorrow to ensure that he remains facing forward. It loses some of the effect when you charge the enemy while facing away!"

This Lieutenant cannot but agree with the sentiments so eloquently expressed.
He too raises his glass of wine and toasts, "To the fantassins whose deeds
create the legends in glory and honor bound."

Well once more the mouth of the south is not paying any attention to my requests. Let me put it once more to this turncoat lobster face meet us in a battle to stop this small talk.1806 a Multi player game the winner gets the bragging rights the loser most not post for six month. I know that it's hard for a southerner not to open his mouth for six month's! I live in the south was thank God my family is from Maryland !

And who is the turncoat? And I for one call as I seem em and I am not sure where the last post is coming from?

Mon Capitaine the hangover were once French soldats are you with me or you one of the good ole boys????

Good God you make me laugh, and with you, not so sure I am, But always Loyal to the Emperor Napoleon and in the words of Hendrik van Loon:

"Here I am sitting at a comfortable table loaded heavily with books, with one eye on my typewriter and the other on Licorice the cat, who has a great fondness for carbon paper, and I am telling you that the Emperor Napoleon was a most contemptible person. But should I happen to look out of the window, down upon Seventh Avenue, and should the endless procession of trucks and carts come to a sudden halt, and should I hear the sound of the heavy drums and see the little man on his white horse in his old and much-worn green uniform, then I don’t know, but I am afraid that I would leave my books and the kitten and my home and everything else to follow him wherever he cared to lead."

But Loyal to the Emperor Napoleon

I have been a Napoleon fanatic since I was 15 years old and that was sometime ago.

"I love that quote! It has long been one of my favorites....ahem.....I mean for fictional writing......not that something so foolish would ever occur........at least for a Hanoverian officer. What's that? Yes, sir, Generaal Bijl, I do happen to remember the way to KP. I should, sir, as I spent most of my waking hours there before I was promoted to Major. Yes, sir. I absolutely agree, the Corsican is a Roach.....sir." [Salute] Dang!

Am calling for volunteers to join me to stop this attack on the person of our Emperor and of France! I officer battle a place to halt this 1806 Multi player game.

I see Colonel Dumas likes to stir the pot as well! A flamboyant Marshall Ney or General Junot?
