The 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment of Foot was a light infantry regiment of the British Army throughout much of the 18th and 19th centuries. The regiment first saw active service during the American War of Independence, and were posted to India during the Anglo-Mysore Wars. During the Napoleonic Wars, the 52nd were part of the Light Division, and were present at most of the major battles of the Peninsula campaign, reowned for always being at the front of of an army, and leading the forlong hope at the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, followed by the 300 "stormers" and again at "Santa Maria" , Thus becoming one of the most celebrated regiments, described by Sir William Napier as "a regiment never surpassed in arms since arms were first borne by men". They had the largest British battalion at Waterloo, 1815, where they formed part of the final charge against Napoleon's Imperial Guard. They were also involved in various campaigns in India.
The regiment was raised as a line regiment in 1755 and numbered as the "54th Foot"; they were renumbered as the "52nd Regiment of Foot" in 1757. In 1781, the regional designation "52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment of Foot" was given, and in 1803 the regiment was the first regular British Army regiment to be designated "Light Infantry"
Introduction:
The 52nd is the Mount & Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars branch of the multigaming community Kuffar Bastards. We have been a part of the Mount & Blade: Warband community for over two years now and a part of the MM community for over a year, (October 01, 2010, 11:30:30 PM.) Our regiment is run as a democracy for the most part, with any menial day to day tasks being handled by the leader(s). We have a very casual view of the game, and while we do take part in events, we do not hold regular trainings or expect our members to play daily.
The regiment has seen highs and lows but still stands as strong as ever, unrelenting in fighting whichever foe stands in its way. The 52nd excels itself in being melee competant above all else and is not afraid to charge headlong into impossible odds, (and more notably charging cavalry as line infantry.)
