Post subject:  History of NWC

Who knows the name of the barmaid that runs the Rhine Tavern?

What was the name of that Allied Officer who was the army's biggest clutz? And who's tales of outlandish adventure were eventually published?

What was the name of the cat at the Allied Royal Military Academy?

What was the former Commandant of said Academy's favorite drink? What was in it?

Who was the first French Marechal?


Answer these and I'll ask some more.


<font color="red"><b>Very good, Gentlemen. Your answers Helga, Waffles, and Barbier are correct. "Helga, a drink for these Gentlemen."

And another to Col. Barlow who correctly identified Ens. Frobisher.</b></font id="red">

<font color="red">Anyone remember the recipe?</font id="red">

I seem to recall gunpowder being a key ingredient in this concoction, a sprinkle or two to go with the bucket of hard liquors.


Cheers to Waffles for his beverage and the fact that he was one of the few men able to drink one and remain sort of kind of on his feet!
