Bulletin de la Grande Armée No. 9


Officers of the Grande Armée,
I am proud to share with you the advancements that the Grande Armée & the NWC has made since 25th December 2023.

Since the last bulletin we saw some adjustments to awards as well as requirements for ranks and joining the Garde Impériale and the Grenadiers de la Réserve of the Réserve.

First, Victory Point awards were made a little easier to achieve. Mainly this happened to the 3 lowest awards to keep the spirit especially of the young officer corps high. But the changes were not made because the French officer corps faild to achieve victory, not it was done because the enemy seldom appears to take up battle and this results in fewer opportunities to achieve victory points. As a result many officers receiving their first or a new VP award on 10th February 2024.

Then we had the requirement for the rank of General de Division lowered to commanding a division for 12 months, this was better positioned in regards to the other rank requirmeents but also to make it more invitable to take up a position as commander of a division. There are division with few officers and those with many in our OOB, but even those with many officers do not require much workload as it is mainly about the quarterly muster. So if anyone is interested in leading a division he should contact me.

And we also had an adjustment of the requirements to join the Garde Impériale and the Grenadiers de la Réserve of the Reserve in regards to required service time as commander, amounted VP and OBD points, so that the requirements overall make more sense. Be aware, if you fullfill the requirements just contact me to be transfered because reassigment to that formation is voluntary.

No the visial part saw the overhaul of the ranks page by our Commandant en Premier Inspecteur Général du Génie Capitaine Sergio Porres. The ranks page now shows all needed requirements for each rank along with the proper rank insignia, and makes sure despite all the informations provided that the page is still easy to navigate for every officer.

Training wise we further advanced but still have some more members waiting to be trained but we are getting closer to the goal of training new members right upon sign up.
In case anyone wants to join the trainers of the École Spéciale Impériale Militaire, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Last but not least is our clubs beloved core gaming series, the Napoleonic Battles series. WDS continues to improve this series, and by now we are at patch level 4.08. If anyone wants to contribute to the improvement he shouldn't hesitate to post any idea, error, etc. on the WDS forum. Of course we welcome any discussions about any kind of improvements on our forum too, so if you got something on your mind just let us know by posting a thread on our own NWC forum.

Gentlemen, let me wish you good summer and a successful battle season.
Vive la Révolution! Vive la France!! Vive l'Empereur!!!
