Salute!

Congratulations Tenente-Coronel Bradshaw!

It is always a pleasure to cross swords with you upon the battle maps!
And as great a pleasure to read your turn exchange and forum posts!

You are a noble opponent of whom I'd recommend to my comrades-in-arms as a worthy sword-foe.

Helga! Bring us some of that Spanish wine!

Regards,

Mucho gracias to all of you. After drinking toasts to my surprising rise in rank I will have to have a formal portrait made for my hacienda. Once my sweet Maria is finished with the uniform alterations. All this fighting, sword play, and riding very fast from the battle field has turned me into one fit and trim amigo.
