Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

The "roleplaying tag" has been in place since the very beginning, David. I am a bit baffled as to how you have overlooked it for all these years. You see, I am actually not Hanoverian. I am also not now, nor have I ever been, in the service of the British Army. I am not a real life Army Chief of Staff, nor have I ever ridden down a Frenchman, or anyone else for that matter, on my trusty battle steed and skewered them with my sword. I also don't swill Jagermeister. I am an American, structural engineer in real life. A husband, a grandfather, and a business man.

When you see a reference to Hanover, Jagermeister, the King's Dragoon Guards, the Coalition Army Chief of Staff, killing Frenchman, intending to put a bullet in the head of a French Emperor who has been deceased for nearly 200 years , or any other such writing, that is role playing.

Hopefully that helps your clarify your confusion. As I said, roleplaying is not for everyone, and whereas it is obviously not appreciated by some, there are others who enjoy it very much.

Just posted a request for opponent... feel like making more friends

If anyone is interested...

Alas that I cannot personally accept your challenge at the present time, but I already count you among the finer officers of France, mein Herr. Please also accept my congratulations, however premature they may be, on your most recent posting. It is an honor to count you as my opposite, sir! May the gods of war keep you ever safe from harm, Marechal Lelievre.

You mean it's all made up? Nothing is real???

Of course I knew it...

I am not confused I said

I think of role-playing as not being a "full time" thing on the forum because I haven't seen that many people able to stay as their persona 24/7, or at least the last time I saw one doing it, it was a very long time (I think it was Eugene).

For example if someone congratulate another member of the club depending of the way it is done I will not assimilate it as role-playing such as this intervention :



For me it looks like a member to member discussion.

A toast to such a finely offered sentiment!

C'est magnifique, Stephan.

I be your huckleberry if you don't mind playing French Creoles and swamp runners
