Then he should have asked you.

Anyways lets hope our Monday event takes off the ground eh :)

So... do we not have the Division event on Friday now then?

Division training still on every second Friday, starting on the 30th. Fridays in between are reserved for battles against other armies/divisions/brigades.

Ahh, that shall be good going then :) And I'll be free on Friday's from this week until the 14th of December so I can definitely attend some events xD

Fair enough. I presume we'll be doing some formation training en masse then? Perhaps we could do a miniature LB which teaches various regiments how to counter line/arty/skirmish/cavalry tactics in turn?

Huzzah! Won our first Army battle aginst the XVE (& elements of the VIe,14e, 84e) with a score of 3-1. It was a damned close thing every round.

Good performance all round.

I apologise that the 87th Line Companies were in the pub getting drunk and forgot to turn up for duty! The Gunners arrived on time though and rained death on the enemy though! Good show all around!

The Original Stewart, been here since The Prussians had that brand new smell!

Retired from on-line virtual French slapping to sail the seven seas on a big grey ship.

Does the army take reservations for the event or are sign ups necessary at the beginning of the event?

Unfortunately this weeks event is full and we don't have any spare slots. (Honestly trying to figure out ways to ensure everyone can fit their men in :D)
Sign ups for the second event,10th December,will open at 9 GMT on Monday.
