Bulletins de l'Armée du Nord
I. General Report
It is my singular pleasure to announce that Col. Stuart Wilson has accepted
appointment as Chef d'Etat-Major for l'Armée du Nord in addition to his continuing
duties as Foreign Minister for the NWC.
I would also like to draw everyone's attention to the newly revamped Quartier
Général of the Ier Corps at www.geocities.com/swalencz/1corps_html/index.html. The
construction of this new edifice was carried out under the expert ministrations of Lt.
Slawomir Walenczykowski.
Overall l'Armée du Nord is in excellent shape. Although some veteran officers have
been compelled to enter inactive status due to domestic concerns, their places have been
filled with a steady flow of new recruits. As noted below, the army's overall active
strength has reached 100 officers once again. More importantly, the steady stream
of "End Game Reports" crossing my desk on a daily basis attests to the high level of
participation by all ranks. In this report, Les Enfants Terribles of the IIIeme Corps
deserve pride of place as two of their members, LtC. Morgan and LtC. Ghislain Krygier,
join the august ranks of La Garde Impériale while two others, GdBg. Martin and GdBg. Aymonier-Ameline, rise even higher. However, each of l'Armée du Nord's corps is amply
represented in that august company, with the promise of many more to come.
