Richard has been a member of the NWC since January 2013. He's participated heavily in the forums and gaming throughout his almost 11 years with the Club! Having played 55 games in his time, many of them longer games too. His humor & writing style is well noted in the Rhine Tavern.

We've been fortunate to have Richard be very active in our Club for all these years!

I am delighted to see him achieve the AAA's highest rank!

Three cheers for Field Marshal Sir Richard Bradshaw, 1st Earl of Manchester K.T.!!

Let us celebrate with all the Hedonator's one can drink!! At least 55 rounds for all!! (Seven troughs for Sir Muddy's Horse! :D ) Food and music too!! Crown Imperial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WMrQe87gRk

Yes it is. And down to me mainly I feel.

A fine officer yes. But he isn't a gentleman, whereas I'm sure the current incumbents in the real world, are; and British.

I hope he is lucky enough, like myself, never to visit Manchester however.

Congratulations Field Marshall, a fine Christmas present.

But not a gentleman eh? Well that can be remedied. Now, let us open a tab and talk about it :)

HUZZAH ABD CONGRATULATIONS to me!!!

I will immediately begin an intense exercise program to build up my chest muscles to wear such an honor. I am humbled and thankful to those that made this possible. As mentioned, Andy Moss is one of those.

Now I must immediately consult with my Adjutant to see how this will affect my coffers and will I be expected to throw even more lavish parties after each victory. The responsibilities of command are mind boggling!

And a sincere thank you to those past and present who have made this forum possible. Bless you all.

Money does not make a gentleman. Being able to spell "honour" correctly helps.

My apologies on the misspelling. My scribe has been influenced by those upstart rebels who trounced all those with the lack of fashion sense who wore red coats after Labour Day. I will speak to him immediately.
