Presenting The SAdraGoons North American Line Battle Event!

Hello there, we've recently picked up a 200 slot NA based server from BlueFang solutions and decided it is time to give back to the community for the many hours of organised entertainment we've got since we started playing the past events of the Mod and DLC. Our line battles will be following the basic classic rules 5arge himself uses in the Hardcore line battles with one or two modifications and in the future we are even considering opening up a pubbie line if things go well. If this line battle succeeds we may consider expanding both servers and into future days of the week, maybe even work on a European version.

We encourage regiments to work together and fight as a team and discourage all acts of griefing verbal or physical. Each player and each regiment has a chance to redeem themselves if they persist in breaking our established rules. Internet drama is not welcomed at all.

We encourage regimental leaders or reps to join this STEAM group here if you are interested in partaking in these events.

TIME OF THE EVENT: SUNDAY AT 8PM EST/1AM BST/2AM CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME
TEAMSPEAK:  TheXI.teamspeak3.com

Join 30 minutes before the event, sign ups begin 15 minutes before the event starts. STEAM Community group posts the server name and assigned regiments on each side before line battle starts.


Join our official channel named SAdraGoons LINE BATTLE. PLEASE ONLY SEND ONE MAN TO COMMUNICATE AND LURK IN SAID CHANNEL. MULTIPLE PEOPLE FROM THE SAME REGIMENT WILL BE KICKED FROM THE CHANNEL OTHERWISE.

We're running a first comes first served system, factions will be picked by us before the event starts along with the map. There will be two maps, a randomly generated large map and an official (soon to be custom) one made for line battles. First map is first to three the second is first to two. If it is a draw an extra round will be played to decide the victor. Gimmick rounds are decided in advance by me and my Admins. Each round will have a set up time of around a minute to make sure everyone spawns in time. Rule breakers will be slain as a warning then kicked if they persist a second time.

Officers are responsible over the conduct of your men as I am responsible for my Admis and own regiments actions. Private Message me if you have issues with this event do not post any drama in the thread.  We aren't going to be stereotypically obnoxious with this thing and will freely work with the community on changes and improvements for this event.

Sign Up Format:

Post this with the provided information if you wish to join the event:

Regiment Name: Your regiments name.
Desired Class: Line/Cav/Skirmishers/Artillery.
Numbers: How many you will bring.

No crouching when loading your musket or firing. If you are the front of a double line this is allowed only.
No shooting while charging into melee.
Men of four or less must join another line and fight.

Marines can be played as either line infantry or chosen as alternate light infantry selection for skirmisher regiments. The latter of which must play with skirmishers rules.

Skirmishers (Light Infantry AND Rifles).

Light Infantry numbers including officer (10 min 16 max).

Must stay together in a small blob.
Must all pick the same role (Officers can ignore this if they wish to be a ‘marker’ and easily recognised by their men)  EG Lancers or Hussars.
Dragoon Cav must rifle either in a vague line on horseback but they can also dismount and act like line or light infantry and fight on foot. Exceptions can be made in melee with the officers pistol as it is dubiously inaccurate.

Numbers should be 6 min 20 max.

Good luck draGoons! :smile:

Thank you. We helped the IIIe with their event just now and our server performed wonderfully.

If numbers are low tommorow, we will still go ahead as a line on line thingy with those who show up. We'll see.
 
Things are a bit chaotic for the roster, but we should have some room still. Drop into the TeamSpeak right now if your interested.
 
Very good line tonight everybody who attended, please thank your members for following the rules so well, and we hope you will all attend next week!  :smile:
 
Indeed thank you for showing up, can't wait for next week when the word has spread. Sorry about the issues with the server name for those who got the wrong one it won't happen again.
 
Two days to go before this next event, still got one artillery slot, two cav and two skirmisher slots free so if anyone wants to grab none line stuff ask me now.
 
Big thank you again to the regiments that showed tonight, we're learning with each one :smile:. Also a message from our friendly Admin:

Thanks to all for another solid line battle!  Great positioning strategies and some bloody excellent mass melees.  My personal apologies to the 18e - I know it's rough to adjust quickly to a different rule.  Thanks for showing up!

Thanks for showing, see you guys on Friday or next Sunday!
 
We are now also starting our Tuesday EU event next week, all regiments welcome if they are happy to follow our rules and have ~fun~.
