After the fall of the Brunwick Division, the Cavalry has emerged and has decided to form ourselves together into one unit. We are the Free Men of Prussia, and we will remain loyal until the last man
Historical notes:
Origins
The unit was officially founded in February 1813 as Königlich Preußisches Freikorps von Lützow (Royal Prussian Free Corps von Lützow). It was alleged to have consisted mostly of students and academics from all over Germany, who had volunteered to fight against Napoleon I of France. However, in reality this amounted to no more than 12% of the total force, which consisted mostly of craftsmen and labourers.
Because the Kingdom of Prussia already had problems financing and equipping its regular forces, the volunteers had to equip and supply themselves by their own means, as they were not paid wages. This led to adoption of black as the colour of the unit's uniforms, because this was the only colour that could be used to dye the civilian clothing; with all other colours the final outcome was influenced by the clothing's original tone, resulting in an unacceptable mix of colours for the corps as a whole.
Red trim was chosen for the rank insignia. In addition, with brass buttons, the unit wore a black-red-gold color scheme, a combination that became associated with republican ideals.
Combat
Free Corps Uniforms
The average size of the corps was 2,900 infantry, 600 cavalry and 120 artillery, varying throughout the war. It fought in many battles, operating first independently in the rear of the French troops, later as a regular unit in the allied armies.
After the peace of 1814 the corps was dissolved, the infantry becoming the 25th Regiment, the cavalry the 6th Ulans. After Napoleon's return from Elba, both regiments fought at Ligny and Waterloo during the Hundred Days.
Due to their actions and fighting style, the Freikorps were nicknamed the "Freikorps Totschlag" ("Homicide Free Korp")

So what is The Freikorps regiment?
We are a Prussian cavalry regiment and we emphasise on a team effort and make a impact on the battlefield. We train on formations so that we can help eachother on the battlefield and get the best results. We also train our personal skills and I'm happy to say that most of our members can handle themselfs in combat.
Our artillery is being lead by Tali
Recently we have formed a Jaeger company under the command of Sarnek and a infantry company under the command of Skittles.
Our emphasise is to support the line troops in battles, we have mixed training sessions with the Prussian army, as well as any other regiment that is friendly, respectable and level headed.
