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.

Hey Joe! Good to see you in the club even if it is on the wrong side of the fence!

What games do you own? What you know Joe? [:D]

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.

Welcome! Trying white for a change? I can tell you, red is much better on campaign. [:p]

Joe.
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)]
