Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

I just wanted to post a note thanking my good friend Mark Jones for his efforts as our president.

He is not perfect my friends but he is totally committed and passionate about this club and I for one 100% support him even if I only 90% agree with him on everything.

Has he made the odd mistake, well yes perhaps. Is he a top bloke though with a robust intellect? Well thats a big HELL YES.

Also those French players who run into this guy had better be ready he is a fine player. I have not played him for a bit and he has promised to hand me my 'derrières' in due course in revenge for when I ambushed him as a junior officer. He did have the temerity to challenge me though. Which is something I admire!! I can remember challenging Muddy as a Colonel....

Indeed Mssr Fredel is perhaps going to hand me my 'derrières' before Mark can. .

Anyhow happy easter to you Mark you and your family have my warm regards and I extend the same to all my friends in the club! You all have my best wishes.

kind regards

Even if I am pretty new here and I still do not know all of you, I would like to thanks Mark as well because he is teaching me a lot of things during our MP game!

I couldn't agree more Colin. Mark is working hard for us all and deserves our thanks. So thanks Mark.

A door always open and a voice of encouragement! Happy Easter to all enjoy the spring . Another season of mayhem kill the little devil with a N !

Colin

Be serious! Do you think that a british officer can share with us the good bottles of wine we usually drink together ? Do you think that a British can appreciate and taste a good wine ? hum hum

OK, OK, Colin don't be hungry. So far, I can drink my marvellous usual wine : the Sauterne ... Helga, ... a bottle of Sauterne for Collin and the red uniforme officer !

Regards

I'll raise a glass and join in the toast as well.

Always approachable, passionate in his approach to the club and his regard for each member, an exceptional officer and skilled warrior. Cheers!

One could almost overlook his glaring Hanoverian flaws.

Glaring Hanoverian flaws....

I cannot picture it. Some concepts are nearly impossible to grasp.

The truth is that there is a Hanoverian Guardsman that patrols these battlefields in search of the opportunity for the single shot that will end the Ogre's depredations against all mankind...

...but that officer is not this Club's President. He is, in fact, the Chief of Staff of the mighty Anglo-Allied Army, and his coat is indeed a magnificent shade of crimson.

The civilian that was elected by the members of this club to serve wears no such coat, and knows no such allegiance. That civilian is a member of our club just like, and certainly no better than, any other member of our club. In his eyes, every one of us is a kindred spirit, a fellow gamer, and a person of great value. All of us are equals, although each of us is invaluably unique.

Thank you for the appreciation of my efforts for our club that the few of you have here expressed. Your kind words stand starkly in contrast to what I have grown more accustomed to seeing as of late, and every one of them is greatly appreciated.

Which is not to say that the Hanoverian in me will ever cease to honorably capture every baton, standard, and sword that a Frenchman would raise against the divine right of legitimate rule.

The Civilian loyally serves the Membership; the Hanoverian unfailingly serves his King; both sincerely appreciate all of the officers of the NWC, whatever country they choose to represent. Honor knows no national boundaries.

I hope that each of you spent a wonderful Easter Holiday with your friends and families.

A toast to our Club! May it ever prosper, grow, and improve through the efforts of its fine members.
