Today we celebrate and remember the day that Napleon's Wargaming Store, run by Sir Fritz, opened. Unfortunately, I am going to be gone all day today competing in a science fair, and I wasn't able to get anything ready for the nation on this occasion. However I would like to share this with you. It's all the old Dwarfstar wargames online, free to print and play! If anything in this post sounds funny, or is inaccurate, I typed it at 0:51, so keep that in mind. Happy Wargaming Day! Sevastáin Casálmac'h Xhumestreu Naziunál |

Thank you, and Happy Wargaming Day to you too, Joshua, and to the rest of the nation. As the Seneschal, I am proud to report that the Bureu dals Zuerietas, a bureau of the Ministry of Culture has informed me that it has a number of projects underway. I don't want to steal Sevastain's thunder, but the nation can be watching for some exciting output from the Wargames Ministry.

So long ago and so many memories. Thanks to everyone for making this event live on through the Kingdom of Talossa. I am currently in the act of obtaining a new wargaming table, much smaller than the one in the basement of Napoleons but one that at least will enable a few of the 'Old Guard' still left to play small Battalion sized battles limited to 500 figures on a side.

Sir Fritz! Good to see you were able to get your login working again. When you get your new table set up, do take some pictures and share them with us.  |

I echo the sentiments of Sir Cresti -- to have the very reason for today's national holiday join us again on Witt today makes this a very Happy Wargaming Day indeed! I also look forward to seeing a photo of the next incarnation of the table that started it all.

It is against regulations to beat Cp. Preston's score, so your record will reflect 80390.

The King may score as high as he likes, according to Zuoave bylaws.

Happy Wargaming Day to all! ¡Felicia Ziua dals Zuerietas a toct! Hurrah for Sir Fritz!
I would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone who has any sort of interest in wargaming to contact our Xhumestreu Nationál at once; there is no reason to put it off until another day, not even another hour.
Just as wargames are not generally best with a single player, neither are most other things in relation thereof. Just as I can exhort the importance of our culture and start contests and work on cultural projects and it will have no meaning unless citizens choose to take part, such too is true for the Wargames Bureau.
As I have said again and again--and will continue to say--our culture is the most important aspect of our nation. Wargaming is our official national pastime, and therefore is of prime importance. Let us see a resurgence now of interest in it so that it may truly be our national pastime and not become yet another interesting facet of the past that is lost except in being recorded as another fun, quirky thing listed on our website that means nothing to anybody.

Minister of Culture
