Sergeant at Arms
Foreword
This event is aimed at any regiments that wish to join, big or small. With the rules I have aimed to keep the gameplay balanced between the sides which should hopefully mean for a more enjoyable linebattle. Regiments that attend regularly will be given priority on sign-ups, but that doesn't prevent new regiments from getting in there. This is the first time I will be hosting an event that (I hope) will become a regular thing; so please give me some slack as I try to get my footing. Any suggestions or requests are welcome, so please post them below or drop me a PM. If you would like to get involved in helping the event, either PM me on the forums, hop onto the 5th Brigade TS or just send me a message over Steam Friends.
About the Event
The event will vary each week between Battle, Conquest and Siege. Regimental Leaders can sign up their regiment by either joining the 5th Brigade TS (most likely to get a quick response), or by posting below on the thread. Sign-ups will start after each preceding event, with priority regiments being given the option to reserve a slot before I open it to the rest of the regiments. Below are the details needed to get involved with the event.

Rulesets
General Rules
Unless stated otherwise, all units require a minimum of 6 people.
If any regiment is reduced to 3 men or less, they must either retreat and join a friendly unit or "stand and fight" if they are in melee. Once said melee is over though, that unit must regroup with a friendly line.
No limit to Musicians, but if taken they cannot fight at all.
No crouching unless behind fortifications or in loose/skirmish formation.
Regimental Invites must wear some form of tag.
Regiments may not charge from long distance.
For now, firing during a charge is allowed. Abuse of this (skirmish charging from a large distance) will cause me to rethink this.
