Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Great response Roy... One step closer to your own baton maybe

Honestly, I am just glad the Spainard is on our side.

How about being consistently able to massacre hapless allied officers
I can see a good number of French Marechal's who fall in this category

Here are some Marechal's Vp's from the Old Guard I have the honour of leading and of course our guard commander who is first!

Bardon, 132vp
Johnson 105vp
Lambert 89vp
Hall 77vp
Yours truly 62vp
Fuller 53vp

However as is the coalition tradition we won't let the facts get in the way of a good story
Although I did enjoy the wit in this said article

Well , well the French winners Club here is the Allied winners club the one hundred wins VP club Marco 119, Jim Hall 143, Andrew Moss 245, Robert Van 128
the best in the Club General Moss 245 now tack that

Who is Robert van.....if you mean Geert Van Uythoven, he doesn't count, he is no longer active.....

A salute to all those fine officer records, of course the real test lies in who you have actually defeated, not simply the number of 'bodies' you have amassed.

The day that the batons of Marechal Knox and Marechal Bardon hang crossed upon the wall behind my Headquarters's desk will be the first day I count myself to be a competent soldier.

Bravo mon ami Bravo hey did you see this guy standing on Waterloo and Harford Rd in Baltimore? Oh tell him I got this vest

Cliff... you had to use a cannon ball to stop that guy... That says a lot.

But it DID stop him! It is far easier to make more cannon balls than men like him.

I have actually seen that cuirass in the museum, and yes, it does leave a definite impression!

That guys called Cliff isn't he?

If any of you would like to try this marshal in battle rather than making up stories, you'll find that my baton was earned by repeatedly beating senior allied officers, especially British Guardsmen -- uncouth AND can't fight. I have a fine collection of swords formerly carried by allied officers.

Good sir would you be willing to challenge a humble Lieutenant of the KGL then ?

I know that this is a bit unfair on you as there would be little to brag about if you beat me and win or lose I would benefit from studying your actions. So I win you lose, I lose, I also win.

We could start a battle or you could find a senior officer and I will find a junior and we can do a multi-player battle; that might level the playing field a bit. If you have Jena-Auerstaedt we could do "The Russians Are Coming" variant which balances things a bit by adding Russians to the Prussian defense. I am open to other suggestions; I own Eckmuhl, Wagram, Austerlitz, Jena-Auerstaedt, Leipzig, and Waterloo. I'm partial to larger battles.
