Thread: Over the Trenches Officer's Mess

  1. #1

    Default Over the Trenches Officer's Mess

    I thought that idle talk, boasting, crying and drinking should be done here.



    And Mrs. Dietrich accepted to sing a song for you boys.

    Another perfect post.
    The Mess - lovely (you are the author, aren't you?).
    Marlene - one of my beloved songs, especially in German!

    No, I'm not the author of this one. I borrowed it from a WW1 news page, sometime ago.
    Yes! Marlene gives it a perfect 1917 feel.

    I'd say that everyone should pick a song from, or that remembers WW1 and post it here on the Mess. This should add a perfect feeling to the campaign. What do you say, boys?

    I'll start by choosing "And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda" from the Pogues.

    Are you joking?

    Marlene was born december 1901...



    But good ideas this Campaign Officer's Mess.
    Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!

    Great idea with songs, Joaquim.

    The most famous Polish battle hymn of The 1st Legion fighting in the WWI on German side (yes! like my AI pilots: Gabriel, Garsztka, Jach, Wroniecki) for Free Reborn Poland.

    I do not know how to put the screen from you tube below is the link instead:

    Glad to be here "Over the Trenches", guys.

    Develop the squadrons, fly missions, give the best for King and Country...

    That is real fun!

    Cheers comrades!

    Since the last (4th) mission of Eagles squadron was a huge success for many of our pilots, the hauptquartier invited two singers to entertain the whole Jasta
    I want to share with you this memorable event!
    One of them is my beloved singer - Nena - in her great coming back with an evergreen hit!
    [I was listening to the song while flying, so I strongly advise you to read my AAR listening to it - it rocks!]

    I prepared the stuff for the next mission today, study the Trench and MG fire rules a little bit.

    Choosed a nice Pfalz D.IIIa model too, for Sven von Zirndorf. I hope he doesn't enter the battlefield too early when Manneken attacks the balloon.

    Pit has already ordered a bottle of French Bordeaux, trying to forget the impressions from the field hospital.

    Early appearance of enemy scout has some positive consequence: The gunners may get lost and treat you as a "Friend". Choosing Pfalz for von Zirndorf makes the mission tougher. It's a durable plane...Good luck, Sven. I wonder how do you like the mission.

    Yes indeed Barry. My best friend still suffers slight pain in his groin area from time to time as a result of telling me that joke.
    He also told me the one that ends up as "he is the flurry with the syringe on top, dont put all your basks in one exit, and people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones"etc. So you can see that he really had it coming to him.

    To all my fellow airmen here! This is Andreas von Oppeln speaking.
    I have just returned from hospital where I spent two weeks after my last meeting with dreadful Albert Ball, as you may remember.

    Drinks are on me tonight chaps. Tomorrow morning I'll take off for a different mission and leave you in the Drome for about a week. The Headquaters is sending me to inspect our faraway airfield on Tenerife Island, Spain territory. I take some Flight Members of mine with me, so I won't be flying alone. We plan to have some drill there and recruit some new volunteers for our cause, so we take some planes with us.

    If there is a telegraph connection mounted somewhere there, I'll send you some brief info about our activities.
    I promise to bring some bottles of wine back so we will have a small libation afterwards.
    If they have some Gin there, I'll bring a bottle as well. One of us will send it later to our friend & enemy Bulldog, Kyte, on the other side of the frontline.
    See you, chaps!

    I wonder how you will reach the Canary Islands? In a German U-Boot?

    There aren't any breaches in our sea blockade.



    Whatever - enjoy your trip, Andrzej! See you next week.

    You also can become a Canary if you are caught relieving other people's from their property...
