Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

So I was sitting in bed last night recounting various NWC topics and I had to ask, cause I couldn't think of it...who was the British CiC before Jim Hall?? I wanted to say Marks Nelsm or Ken Jones...but I wasn't sure....old time guys...do you recall??

It wasn't me, highest I went was command of II Corps for a time. Cut into my pursuit of the perfect alcoholic beverage so I had to give it up. However I can't remember who in the heck it was either. But then again I can't remember the name of my aide half the time either.

Lt. General Sir Mark Nelms K.G.
1st Regiment of Foot Guards

Short memories ... [;)]

Tony Dobson, and before him Ian Travers. [^]

Was Ian Travers the one whose one parent died and he stepped down or was that another Ian?

Besides Steve Peluso, Pierre D. and myself who else is an original member? It would be interesting to see who is still around from the "old" days.

I believe I am the longest serving officer in the Anglo-Allied Army. But I joined in late December 1998, some 10 months after the founding of the club. If you want a little nostalgia have a look at some of the early club newsletters...

Yeah, I was just reading through some of them yesterday.

Chris Watties used to be the guy that did the newsletter. Remember some of the other fellows too!

I'm not an "original" member, but I joined in July of '98. [8D]

Maréchal Hamilton,
Duc de Barbancon
21st Division
VII Corps, ADR

1er Regiment Garde
Fusiler-Grenadiers

If you do a 'member since' sort you can see all the members when they joined and the last post gives you info as to whether they are still active. I guess we fall in to the NWC Gronards category,10years, my God.

I was the first Alied CiC and Steve was the French CiC, a division of labour to get the ball rolling. I handed it over to Bill when he volunteered HeHe.

Colonel Pierre D.
Armee du Rhin
VII Corps, 22eme Division, 1ere Brigade

Lol good times....thanks for the history gents! [:D]
