Recruit
The 65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot was a British Army infantry regiment formed in 1758 from the redesignation of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Regiment of Foot. In 1881 it would become the 1st Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment when amalgamated with the 84th (York and Lancaster) Regiment of Foot.
This is a line infantry regiment and that is how we will play during Line Battles. But you have my promise not to be one of those commanders that simply stand there and let the regiment take fire. I promise to make battles as exciting as possible for the regiment members by mixing brutal line fighting action with epic charges and stealthy flanking maneuvers. This is an EU based regiment but USA players are more than welcome to join, but we will try make a schedule that fits everyone. If you are British and you feel like fighting for your homeland then grab a musket and enlist! Or if you are just from America or wherever you may be and feel like this regiment could be fun then by all means join the fight!

Regiment Requirements
Rule 1: No petty arguing. Either get along or get out, I won't deal with people arguing while we're taking fire. Either handle it in a mature way or I will.
Rule 2: If someone is trying to teamkill you on purpose, don't kill them otherwise admins don't know who to trust and you could be blamed for the whole thing. Simply take screenshots of the teamkilling and present them to an admin or bring them to me and I'll present them to an admin myself.
Rule 3: Do not kick/punch/teamkill friendly musicians or flag bearers. I've seen them go on to end up winning the battles and besides, it's against the rules so just don't do it! Treat them with respect ecspecially in line battles for they sacrifice the opportunity to shoot enemies with a musket so that they can proudly carry their nations banner.
Rule 4: Obey commands, I am open to useful suggestions during battle but if you simply run and hide when I say charge or worse you charge when I say hold your ground, you will be punished. If you show yourself to be repeatedly disobedient then you will be kicked.
