The 1st Royal Australian Rifles Regiment
About Us
The 1st Royal Australian Rifles Regiment is a brand new regiment made by Australians for Australians.
We plan to be an fair sized line infantry regiment that will fight in line battles with other regiments.
We do not judge harshly on who we let in. Whatever skill level, whatever age, whatever experience.
We know that some people will not be able to make every training and every battle, so we do not mind if you don't show up to a battle, and if you can't make it to a training i would be happy if you told me beforehand. We play as Great Britain in game. We are a line infantry regiment and use realistic tactics from the period.
Duels
In this Regiment we take insults quite seriously and we deal with insults in a gentlemanly manner. Therefore if one of our soldiers feels insulted he is obligated to challenge the insultor to a duel.
Each party would name a trusted representative (a "second") who would, between them, determine a suitable "field of honour". It was also the duty of each party's second to check that the weapons were equal and that the duel was fair.
At the choice of the offended party, the duel could be fought to a number of conclusions:
To first blood, in which case the duel would be ended as soon as one man was wounded, even if the wound was minor.
Until one man was so severely wounded as to be physically unable to continue the duel.
To the death (or "a la outrance"), in which case there would be no satisfaction until one party was mortally wounded.
In the case of pistol duels, each party would fire one shot. If neither man was hit and if the challenger stated that he was satisfied, the duel would be declared over. If the challenger was not satisfied, a pistol duel could continue until one man was wounded or killed, but to have more than three exchanges of fire was considered barbaric and, on the rare occasion that no hits were achieved, somewhat ridiculous.
For a pistol duel, the parties would be placed back to back with loaded weapons in hand and walk a set number of paces, turn to face the opponent, and shoot. Typically, the graver the insult, the fewer the paces agreed upon
All duels will be overwatched by the Colonel or the Major. All duels must also have the Colonels approval.
Rank Structure

Sergeant- Takes care of the troops in and out of battle( helps the new guys, hands out punishments etc.)
Corporal- Assists the Sergeant
Private- Just a glorified Trooper, does not give orders
Trooper- The main force, does most of the killing, does most of the dieing
