inspired by hammershield's "Kennel Club of Monimasket" I've started a similar project, because I'm of opinion that every wargamer needs an own club (no idea how we did it all the years without clubs). Don't expect another "every day" action, but I will try to post from time to time new members. The women will come with male escort (replacement for the dogs of hammershield )

Here comes the founder of the club, Josephina Levi-Rattenau the Duchess of Hulgoland with her secretary.

btw, feel free to add some fluff if you have any ideas, unfortunately writing fluff in english language is not one of my strong points

Haha-a! Love it! Some day we have to meet to play out a clash of interest between our respective clubs, Prof.!

Should be renamed the Panneberg "Sticking your fingers in the electrical socket" club, judging by those hairdos!

Weiterflug nach Rom, die Sonne brennt. Perfekter Schutz - Drei Wetter Taft.

Sorry, I had to write this in german. For those who can't read it - it's an old 70ies TV-commercial for hairspray. They broadcasted it several times a day, for years.

70ies?!? I remember seeing it on and off in the late 80s and early nineties.

"Hamburg. Wind, Die Frisur hält. Drei Wetter Taft."

Awesome. Love the name as well. Panneberg is appropriately nuts for those folks. Not that I oppose women´s voting rights.

Reminds me of the British advert for Harmony Hair spray which ran for years "is she or isnt she?"

Nice touch with making her ribs show through the dress, makes her look all the more emaciated.

Josephina Levi-Rattenau, Duchess of Hulgoland, Marchioness of Panneberg-Hasling, is the elder sister and fiercest enemy of Lord Rattenau, the man behind the Edict of Gronbring. Passed by Parliament in 19--, the Edict prohibited women from entering politics and racetracks. The Reactionary Ladies of Hulgoland protested, but were driven out of parliament by policemen armed with folding umbrellas. Lord Rattenau's sister, a doting figure who had sacrificed her career to care for her sibling when they had been orphaned, was incensed, then outraged. In defiance of her brother she married the elderly estate butler, Kaspar Levi; divorced him ten days later, then appointed him secretary of 'The Duchess of Hulgoland's Suffragette Club of Panneberg'. The once-genteel and benign figure of affection became Lord Rattenau's living nightmare, an obsessed fury and a bastion of resistance to the pompous chauvinist Lord and his cronies.

And here comes Aloisa Milena Dykeward-Grendel with her husband in Africa.

Lady Aloisa Milena Dykeward-Grendel was born in Austria. She is the daughter of Austrian ambassador to England Franz Ebenezer von Derler. From an early age, her marriage to the wealthy British Lord Dykeward-Grendel was.......... feel free to continue :mrgreen:

...was as much a cultural exchange as a marriage. Lady Dykeward-Grendel became increasingly British, and her husband became increasingly Austrian.

The result is that the couple is a curious pastiche of politics. Lady Dykeward-Grendel has embraced Social Reformation in her causes, and there is no social flaw she feels cannot be corrected by hard work and personal determination. She is a member of the League of Temperance, the Society Against Vice, the Society for the Promotion of Civilization in Horrible Places, and yet also for the Ladies' Franchise, labor reform, and the end of child labor.

Lord Dykeward-Grendel seems to have taken up "being Austo-Hungarian" as his hobby. He has learned to waltz. His disdain for the French has now acquired a new dimension. On his estates he hunts in Tyrolean hats and dines on weissewurst at breakfast. He is inclined to dismissively and incorrectly compare any political situation to the Balkans.

In London and Vienna, the joke is that the two ships on the Dykward-Grendel coat of arms are symbolic of the couple: One going to London from Vienna, and vice-versa.
