 Post subject: The Corsican Roach
PostPosted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 2:23 am 
The Corsican Roach scuttles back and forth in his Empyreal throneroom. "Berthier!", he screams, "Take a message for immediate dispatch."

"Inform every soldier in the army that they are to salute me when I pass. Tell them also that they will salute me when I don't pass. Better yet, tell them that they will salute me when I am not even present! No, wait, I know, have them stand at attention and salute me all the time. Yes, I like that much better!"

"Yes, Tondu", replies the subservient Marechal of France.

"Oh, and one last thing Berthier. I am vexed!!! Have someone bring me the head of that damned Hanoverian!!!!!"

The solitary figure of a French officer winds his way thru the German countryside, travel cloak pulled tight. He is returning to his battle position near the city of Karlsburg, following a visit to the Rhine Tavern.
The latest propaganda broadsheet is found nailed to a tree, and after chuckling mildly to himself he mutters, "as L'Empereur commands," and drawing his sword, casts about the forest for the wicked cartoonist.

Good ole "Prussian Decon" takes care of roaches on the spot. If he shows up we know how to deal with him and his toadies.

Cutting off the heads of a certain Hanoverian Colonel would make this forum a little boring so I as one German Frenchman would like to keep him around for his entertainment value and soon to whip him in Battle!

Any small accomplishments that I may inadvertently make on the field of battle are directly attributable to the fine teachers with whom I have been blessed, and the most worthy opponents that I have had the privilege to get to know. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Salute, gentlemen! :P :P :P

Now that is more to my liking! Come join me at my small table Capitaine Kling. Perhaps we can conclude an agreement over a few drinks. No, never mind what this paperwork before you actually says. It is your signature on the documents that is of import. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Monsieurs and you turn coats the best way to solve this is a Multi- player game using the Manual fire the winner will have the bragging rights and the loser most not post for six months! The game can not be 1815.

Soldat, of France why do we stand Idly by while our Emperors name is reduced to and that of an insects join with me on the field of battle to stop this. You can see that these turn coats and crowdies and cowards will use all the excuse that they have not to fight a combine French Armee of find officers but will say we don’t have time to busy fighting the same people and racking up victories. Join me on the field of honor 1806 an beat theses loud mouths who only play 1815 or 1813. Well they fight when we were at our prime nay I say. They pick and chose were and when they want to fight that is avenge to them.
