Hello to all! Some of the names in this club look familiar from battles in other eras and other battlefields. I enlisted in the Austrian Army a few days ago and am looking forward to some Napoleonic battles to add some more variety and fun to my gaming.

Once I am contacted by my army commander and get my training game done in the Vienna Academy, I look forward to some battles against the villainous French.

Villianous sir?

Why we have spread liberty, enlightment and justice throughout Europe during the rein of the Emperor, perhaps a few stray children and perfume as well.

But what has Austria contributed? Skiing perhaps? [:D]

Seriously welcome to the club Joe, join a cavalry officer at my table for some French wine.

Great to see you here... But as bill has said on the Wrong side. [;)]

Once Training is done i am sure you will get a rush of French Officers wanting to fight you.

Have fun.

Welcome to the club Joe.[8D]

Don't pay any attention to the French, they are just jealous of those fine white uniforms you Austrains wear.[:)]

Thank you for the welcome!

My friend Dave Earls speaks well of this club and Napoleonic Campaigns and has convinced me to join up. I look forward to gaming here and taking on the French officers, looks like there are many many of them!

I though about the British Army, but being in the Red Army and a Redcoat in other clubs, I thought it was time for a color change!

French tyranny and domination of the Continent needs to be opposed, just as I oppose the evil Fascists on the steppes of Mother Russia in 1941!

Bill, I have Eckmuhl and Wagram. You and I have to do a game. You probably will beat me badly, but maybe I will learn something out of the experience. [B)]
