Let's Play: Forge of Freedom!

[MKSheppard]

Come on, lets get our army of Coolies*, Indians**, and other Californians together to traumatize those Rebs....

Sorry, no Chinese, etc etc; but both sides CAN recruit indian brigades out west.

If it's not to late, I'd like to a part of the union please. Call me what the hell you want, I'm awful at thinking historical names. If it's not a problem, call me EDIT: fuck it, Alexander King

[Steve]

And you don't want to give something reflecting your real life one?

I take it nobody wants to be the CSA either, heh heh.

more on exactly what I'm proposing, hey it's how the Union was able to get thousands of Irishmen to do the heavy fighting in the war...

Honestly, a french name would be out of place.

Not really, the CSA used French guns, and advisors, Retired General Thomas Dumas, and his Son (writer of Three Musketeers) Alexander joined the union.

And lets not forget Pierre Gustave Toutant (P.G.T.) Bureaugard!

Mind you that the Dumas contribution to the Northern War Effort was essentially being two "coloured men" who were quite literate and could attend parties, all the while whining "Why won't you let us raise an army in Haiti for you?". Though if reports about the elder Dumas skill with pistol are to be believed he probably could have gone down and simply challenged Davis and most of the other Southern Generals to duels and ended things that way....

While I think Rawtooth's portrait looks way more like me, I look badass in the one I got.

I vote for marching down the Mississippi and splitting the Confederacy in half!

[MKSheppard]

Game will start when I get back from work/training today.

A new character will shortly be introduced in the first update or so:

ShroomMan777
Freiherr der von Schroom.
WHORES!WHORES!WHORES!WHORES!WHORES!



He won't actually be IN any battles, but will be a great way to "Explain" in game losses from disease.

[White Haven]

That is a wonderfully ridiculous hat that Shroomy has acquired there. I approve!

As a man with a glorious real-life beard, I demand that all electronic incarnations of me also have glorious beards.

[SirNitram]

If it's too late for Generalship, I am eager to rally the good, law-abiding folk of the Western Virginia lands to resist this blatant treason by those flatlanders! We shall not surrender our state for the sake of some plantation owners! Montani Semper Libri!

(If not General, clearly I am one of those political types getting up to mayhem to break away from dem Eastern Flatlanders.)

[loomer]

If it's not too late, I pledge my service to the CONFEDERACY!

[Lord Relvenous]

I'll gladly join whatever side provides the most alcohol. (I'm cool with either USA or CSA, but USA preferred)

[Force Lord]

Bumping this up because I can.
