It is my lucky cuirass. How do I know this? the entry hole is at the front instead of the back! well to me that is lucky, seeing who shot me at least.

Allegedly we have our THURSDAY AMERICAN LINE BATTLE tonight around 8PM EST. Come form lines and get shot at for crazy early European Nationalism!

For one shining moment I was a NW super pro. And then I went back to trying to kill dudes and I sucked again.

Anywho, guess what? I got us a new EU event for Sundays! Read about the rules and stuff. One down and one more to go.

We have two events tonight in both time zones, the EU one of course like always 30 minutes around the time of this very post and the American line battle tonight at 8PM EST.

We did some interesting things and had a few good moments tonight but lately with Mumble things are kind of sliding into LOUD NOISES So yeah, this is getting a bit tiresome now. Lets make an effort to keep the snark to a minimum until we are all dead. Talking over each over is almost as bad as touching the poop as we already get distracted and confused enough with the bright colours and loud noises of the game.

Also, I was wrong and I didn't have the password in my Mumble because we got distracted talking about bullshit in Mumble in the set up. My bad on that part.

Agitating me.

We're keeping touching the poop because pubbie drama is repulsive poo poo and no goon or sane person should touch it or any kind of poop willingly. Now enough about scatalogy references, we got a NW siege event in 30 minutes and I want you goons here to play with some (cannon) balls!

Indeed. And hey, in this era, French soldiers would gently caress you up. It's kind of empty making French surrendermonkey jokes when half of Europe got their poo poo kicked in by France.

Also, it's not my native tongue, so any actual French goons watching, my apologies for any horrible France inthere.

Pubbies do have a tendency to pull mass routs when playing French, like literally the entire team running away. It's the only way they can keep the joke alive.

Your French was pretty comprehensible, which makes it way better than most French people's English.

If you guys had been playing Blood and Iron it would have been a decent reenactment of the 1871 Battle of Le Mans where at least half of the French army didn't speak French and had no idea what the hell was going on.

The history nerds here might like this story, which may or may not actually be true, I can't find any good sources: When Gambetta was reviewing his troops a Breton soldier yelled out "D'ar ger ma jeneral!", which sounds a bit like "à la guerre mon général!" or "to war my general!". Gambetta noted in his journal that day how brave these Bretons were in the face of certain defeat. Of course, "D'ar ger ma jeneral" doesn't mean "to war!" it means "Let's go home my general!".

From what I have read about that war, that anecdote seems very very true.

Anyways, sadly this friday we have no EU event as our current one just curled up and died last week BUT I have found us a good solid one with over 150 attendees for us next week.

Comfort yourself with these really nice looking Scourge Of War Waterloo WIP screenshots and the knowledge we still have the American event tonight at 8PM EST.

Also, added a few more videos to the YouTube channel.
