Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Gentlemen from all armies, put down your arms for a day or two and accept an armistice. I invite you to celebrate my promotion to the rank of <i>Général</i> and assignment to <i>La Grande Armée HQ</i> with the title of <i>Grand Maréchal du Palais de la Maison de l'Empereur</i>.

Rounds on me in the Rhine Tavern, no matter if you drink wine, beer or vodka!

Gee, another long title. The French are so enamored with titles. But, if you're buying the ale, I'll have a good Belgian variety.

I dare say that in the general vicinity of the House of Lords, the Privy Council, Horse Guards, and of course St. James, Britain too is populated with rather fancily and often quite oddly titled personnel. [:D]

Congratulations, even though of course there was no such rank in the French army. [:)]

Congratulations Dominik!

Still it's sad to hear that one more French general leaves the field in favor of parquet maneuvers. [;)][:p][:o)]

A brash looking Mamaluke strides into the Tavern and tosses his full purse on the bar.

A round for all the French in the bar to celebrate General Derwinski's excellent service in making sure our bar tabs are all tracked perfectly!
