Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Thanks Hakan....I'll have a bit more from it later on....

I think you are right David! We smell nice, we eat good food, we have beautiful women, what else could one want!!

There is something to be said about that. You have French fries, French toast, and the French kiss. All worthy things.


And beach front property on Elba Island...

Haha....I don't know about you, but Elba sure as hell beats what I look at daily:

Before you even go there, even Saint Helena looks pretty nice:





I'd be cool with just kicking my feet up here and writing about how awesome I was for a couple of decades....

French fries? No those are Belgians
French toast? we have pain perdu which is a desert.

And French kiss? yes we do have that... But because we are French we don't call it that way... because we know it's French so we call it Baiser amoureux.

But beside those trivial things we have discovered oxygen and hydrogen.

We have established the metric system all over France and I hope one day it will spread all over the world.
We have a very advance system of communication that we call Sémaphore Chappe, maybe one day we will have a web of communication with that system but maybe I am a little ahead of my time
And I could go on...

Even that bayonet you are ready to stick in me in anger is a French invention.

So, it's not too late, you can see the light and join the army of progress.

The good general Guegan speaks wisely as do all who join the greatest army in this club.

What have the shop keepers, sausage eaters, strudel eaters and Russian's ever given to you, besides gold coin?

If gold is all you seek then perhaps France is not for you.

If you seek to liberate Europe, spread freedom and happiness, then France awaits your enlistment forms with open arms

Why would jackals piss on his feet...does he like it when they do that?

It is simply an illustration of the different types of characters that are drawn to the lodestone of his magnificence.
Regards,

Ah I see now Todd, a sign of respect for their own kind. Thank you for clarifying...
