Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Its been my pleasure to meet many of the Russians who are in the NWC serving in the Russian army of the Allied Coaltion. We have fought several battles from Eckmuhl and Jena. Its really nice to see such fine representation from the Russians for their army.

Ok - so where are the Austrians? Does anyone in the Austrian army have some heritage to Vienna, etc? Plenty of Brits in the Anglo-Allied army as well as Spaniards. And lots of French in the French army as well as Germans in the Prussian army.

I have some good news: I notified Arnold Schwarzenegger about the Austrian army and he is slightly interested. To get him to join we just have to equip him with some sort of rocket launcher! [:D]

Well Sir, on my Mothers side I am a descendant from the Steinke and Zimmerly familys. We understand that Steinke is German, but my Great Grandfather Zimmerly was actually a Swiss 'Cimberlin'. His name was changed at Ellis Island when he emigrated to the USA (1890s??).

So, am I a Swiss mercenary fighting against the tyrant? Austria seemed the better employer, plus the uniforms are superior!

Sir which tyrant are you referring too? The perfidious Albion no doubt as the Austrian Emperor's daughter is the Tondu's wife?

Both my grandparents on the mother's side were born Austrians. Though only my grandfather was from what is still Austria today (Linz); my grandmother, born in Moravia, became a Czechoslovakian in 1918, then with the liquidation of that state in 1939 she became a German. So I am maybe 3/8 Austrian. [:D]
