Tavern fight May 2
Walking into the pig pen early for once! I began looking around at the same ole worn out faces of Allied drunks. Who I surmised most have been up all night drinking that rut gut beer with a smell of dead hogs and rotten chickens to it. I could not believe that my ole Armee commander (a German by birth) was now in his Prussi uniform call to me! “Who are all those Flags you got hanging in your tent said Scott.
” Well I told him that one big black and white one with that buzzard on it, belongs tu ju”!
Scott said “I do not believe you have 11 wins....you have 6 wins on the books in DoR....you can't count stuff for a claim if it wasn't on the books”! That "claim" of victory over me in 2006, I gave you that out of kindness because I didn't have time to continue our game, it was far from over”.
“Monsieur, look again and your kindness is much appreciated! Thanks if you want your flag back come and get it a win is a win. Oh you sound like a tea party person ju should run for president you have the ATl too win. Now you are calling me a liar eat this you Hun kiss this.
The French Col record; Clifton Seeney Colonel 2304 10 6 0 5 0 34 2ème Division Artillerie Divisionnaire.
“Oh, I just won one the other day most I prove myself to ju and who are ju to prove anything too said the French Col !
“Bloody Mary's and turtle soup for breakfast and alligator méat for lunch! Now that the way to start the day. And yes I have six but I count the ones I was cheated out of with that Austrian who was in all the Allied Armee. So they took it to the broad and let him back in the club but did he come to me to restart the game H--- no said the French Col”.
He was a pif and a lie said the French Col”.
“
“Hey cliff, how about a little less fighting a war of words and a little more sending turns. I'm home all day today just waiting to engage. The real war is fought on the battlefield not the forum. Or are you just a forum warrior said the up start German Jager Officer”?
“Game was sent were are you at 9: am said the French Col “!
“My humblest apologies. I was emailing back and forth with General Peters and forgot to send my turn, my comments are of course retracted said the up start German Jager Officer”.
“Kill the Noir Menace AKA Bill the Menace! I put a bounty on his head the first Frenchmen to beat him I will give free cat fish all week long and gator feet plus some bon crawl daddies said the French Col”!
“I am also wondering what Hanoverian, Russian, Austrian and Dutch-Belgian you beat....Anyway doesn't matter, do you own Leipzig” said Scott?
“Mon ami why would I get a game were the French Armee was at it worst Please said the French Col”.
Frontrunner!! Because you're not a true Napoleonic gamer if you don't.....said Scott!
Fellow warriors of the battle maps, salute said the French Lt (who just walked in)!
In all fairness, there seem to be plenty of Allied officers who turn green at the thought of playing scenarios from the Jena-Auerstadt game he said.
Personally, I enjoy playing scenarios from the variety available, the good, the bad, and the ugly!
Mon ami maybe one day we can Team up an beat some Prussi butât said the Col!
“But Todd that is one specific battle or variations of such, Leipzig has a whole ton of different battles in it and not all are Allied romps....said Scott.
“Plus Jena had a series of flaws in changes that were made in the patches that were out for years that gave the French a massive advantage and people just said the hell with it.... Messr Scott, salute said the French Lt. !
I meant the whole game, not just the specific scenario.
Yes, there are some flaws in the game (some which could affect the French if you take 10-20,000 VP conditions into consideration).
But there are some great battles in there as well: Karlsburg (playing a fantastic game with Oberst Moehle in that one), and some of the Campaign game scenarios make great stand alone battles as well.
Leipzig does have some good scenarios, I agree. Have had fun at Grosbeeren, and trying my hand at Dennewitz as we speak.
A fighting chance in any scenario is all I ask for he said.
“Mon ami, Mon ami these Allied barbets only play games that they are sure to win don't bother to jouît yourself with them they are a bunch of spoiled Childebert sucking on the Barites. They cry when the game is too long and quite they always have an excuse like the cares of the work week tied me up, they are self important said the French Col”!
There have been plenty of Frenchmen who have cried foul too....I believe you did in the last Tournament Mon Ami! I also believe it is you who cry foul at Jena for the points needed by the French to win said the English FM”. (Who just walk into the fight)?
Btw Todd I was talking about the whole game and there was a patch some years back that raised the French morale and made the game unplayable in most Allied eyes. By the time it was fixed the game was not of interest to many said Scott”.
Btw Cliff, I don't see the French trying their hand at NRC a lot? You afraid of the Ruskie Bear! How about it Cliff, you want to fight in NRC? I'll choose the scenario and you can agree to it, none of your 40-60% rules, just a straight forward no strings attached game! No big scenarios either, I don't have time for those.... he said.
“They are self important said the French Col”!
“At least their signature doesn't look like it was designed by piet mondriaan said the up start German Jager Officer”!
“Before they sell a game that should fix a game. Am still waiting for a Russi to move that I sent a week ago, I play any an all game any time . I think that 1805 were the allies out number the French is full of it and how can you not win at Ulm? 1806 French win if they score 10000 point so play the 16- 30 games, 1809 well he gave us one if you can get over the bridges and if you not in the two Towns. 1813 with out doubt, 1815 now that's a bon chance if you can beat the Prussi. I still was waiting for a new Brit to send me his game. Didn't mind losing to Andy he beats you with protection on unlike others who beat you bear! When in Paris you wear the best when in your tent you put up the best! Oh, Monsieur Général it's Scott Bowens 30/40 rule not my rule how did you ever win in Empire table top said the French Col.
“I’ve never had much respect for the Francophile Bowden....but we can all makes excuses about the games and you are dancing around the issue. Do you want me to find an NRC battle when I get home or not said Scott”?
“When I was a child I spoke as one "you do it my way you play it my way and you like it my way"! So are you a Child I know a very bon 1812 game but it might be to long for you 100 turns you might go home crying I quite! I got to play my piano eat my dinner! Why don't u start a German club a call it TWL club. Now if you man enough you meet me on my ground and fight said the French Col!
Cliff, In no uncertain terms did I say I will choose the ground, I want you to agree to it and look over the scenario and like it as well....if you don't agree, we find another. Both of us will have the chance to agree on the scenario....said Scott
“ My observation is that losers make excuses and then complain said the FM’’ .
“I have won the big JA battles as both the French and Allies and have lost both ways as well. In fact I just lost an MP battle of The Russians Are Coming" to two very fine players he said”.
"Leipzig Unleashed" and other scenarios are quite winnable as the French and I will be happy to demonstrate that FACT he said”.
“Another Brit's steps up to the plate bring it! Where are the so-call French? I need to be a nation into it's self "Haiti” we beat the French and them bloody English said the French Col” !
“Fine, make sure you are updated to the current patch on HPS' website said Scott”. Email me at
eric2900@aol.com to discuss optional rules....
I hope you are ready to be at this one for many years to come.... he said. That is how slow I play!
“You have NEVER beaten me Cliff. Not sure what you are talking about. Beat you at Jena and the SON Round 1 game said the Noir manqué. 2-0 Garde Freiwillige Jäger Regiment vs. East Texan Cochroaches he said”.
“Wanted Fremch Vampire Killer who ever beats this Vampire I will give a year supply of mud divers said the French Col”!
Oui, master I wills make sure am updated! I recall that I had a game with a Monsieur Blackburn he quite because he said “I didn't play historical “It’s been year ago. Monsieur you and your bon ole buddies have come a long way said the French Col”.
“I think you have been taking drugs sir, we quit because you were unable to coherently return files. Since I never received a move from you I would not know whether you played historically or not” said the FM”. “
Now a lie will always come out,well Fm say what you want and that little snare you can keep to your self. If you thank I can't return files which is hog wash try me now and how did you make Fm so fast when you were just a returning officer said the French Col”.
