Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

I will not make the mistake of commenting on this subject in the future, there is no place for this in the NWC. I suggest you start you own club; Haiti Wars Gaming Club!

There's no interests in a Haitian war game club but maybe one day there will be. Maybe some Haitians will want to join a Napoleonic European center club and just maybe some Africans. Also it will improve sales if it goes world wide. Am sure their are others out there some where who love war gaming and playing in this era. Why not China also am sure they would enjoy the role playing and games. I been at it for more then twenty years and I enjoy it nothing like it to me.

I just don't take the comments that serous. I do have fun with gaming and fun with this. Tu Armes , and sometimes it lets you know just who are your true friends and who are not!

Is that why the Swedish Army appears to have no members?


I agree that a Haitian army has no apparent place in the Napoleonic Wargame Club, perhaps in the Colonial Campaigns Club if the members of that club are agreeable.


Swiss and other French allies (Polish, Italian and various German principalities) have been requested by some and would be more on-topic but there doesn't seem to be much support at the top for adding these either.

Maybe it would be nice to launch that conversation in Pierre's Tavern.

After having to update the Protestant Army pages during the last year or so of the Musket and Cannon Club's existence, I'm not volunteering...

The club's Swedish Army currently has only one officer, Set Karlsson. There is a Swedish Army included in HPS Leipzig.



By "support at the top", you must be referring to Marechal Jensen and/or other senior LGA officers. The Coalition side of the club has diversified in this regard over the course of the last year. I am personally neutral in this regard, but would support whatever the membership wanted to do. I know that LGA formerly did include such contingents several years ago, but that was before I joined the NWC.

There was discussion in the LGA about having corps, brigades etc based on nationalities that where loyal to France. This would have created a polish brigade etc.

There was a vote and it was decided that the members of the LGA did not support the idea.

To have separate armies ( Polish etc ) requires people to run them and maintain things.

IMO, more Armies dilute the SUPPORT that membership VOLUNTEERS give. We only have so many members that give ACTIVE support, i.e. maintain websites, maintain rosters and fulfill Army command structures.

It would be more productive to allow (maybe it already does for some) individual commands linked to specific allies of the Coalition and LGA.

I can understand the member that wants HIS group to be represented, but new armies are not the solution.

The Swedes do have one guy, as Mark pointed out and he has volunteered for every Tourney that has been played since he joined. I consider it a good deal since I don't think many will want to join the Swedes per say. They were brought on as Leipzig was coming out and for that and 1814 is why the Austrians were reformed to an 1813 OOB and the Prussians oepned the 1813 Korps, which has been a great success. The best success was the Anglo-Allies adding into the Hanoverian, Brunswick Contingents a while back and even more was greeted with the Spanish Brigades addition. I wanted to see one added, as the iNWC was successful in adding more members when we opened a Spanish Army there. Many of those members are now in the Spanish Brigade here.

So it is all about how you lay out the method of doing it.....

Sadly there are only so many webmasters to go around, which is always an issue....I am keeping an eye over three armies currently here and sometimes struggle to keep up with updates.

Am not from east Texas I live in east Texas that has nothing at all to do with any thing it's call INCLUSION !

A man ask me today why I wanted to be the official Rep of Haiti in this club ! Let me read you a poem " Until she spoke no christian nation had abolished negro Slavery
Until she spoke no christian nation had given the world an organized effort to abolish Slavery... Until Haiti spoke the church was silent and the pulpit was dumb slave-traders lived and they died " Frederick Douglass A Baltimorean !

Cliff,
A man of color in the Prussian army isn't as outlandish as it seems. I know this happened just after the napeolonic wars but you never know.
