Hello fellow gamers! This month I am pleased to announce that I have some great news for all NA members. First, If you liked the write-up of the massive Albuera game, then you will love playing the game itself. The game will be staged at the following shows: NOW 97 - on Saturday 12th July at St Andrews hall, Norwich. Norfolk and at SALVO 97 - on Sunday 12th November at Charter Hall, Leisure World. Colchester. Essex. This massive participation game is open to all NA members who wish to join in.

The game will be continually run throughout the day using the ever popular 'Game it and go' principle. This means that you can join the game at any time. When you have had enough you just leave and if you fancy having another go then rejoin the table at any time, throughout the day. The only thing that will prevent you from having a game is if we can not physically fit you around the table, so if this problem does occurs please bear with us.

The first prize of a bucket of creosote went to Bert and Ethyl Terrible of Ongar for spotting the deliberate mistake in the Albuera article. But seriously folks! Come along to the shows and give the NA wargaming representatives and myself your support and be part of the fun.

Apart from the participation game at the shows what else is on offer to members of the Napoleonic Association! The answer is DISCOUNTS!!! I've been very busy over recent months, contacting the various aspects of the wargaming industry in an effort to expand upon the NA's existing discount scheme. Well here are the fruits of my labour, an abundance of discounts on the following wargaming products:

When applying for these discounts you will need to quote the following:

(a) That you saw the offer in First Empire.
(b) That you are a member of the Napoleonic Association.
(c) Quote the NA's agreed order number. This order number will be the same for all the companies and will be printed each month in the Adjutant, along with the list of companies offering discounts.
