Chocim 1621, siege event! 250 players!

Siege of Chocim fortress (1621) Battle of Chocim occurred from 2nd September to 9th October 1621 between Jan Karol Chodkiewicz's army of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Turkish army under command of Sultan Osman II. Hidden in a secured camp Polish-Cossack forces stood in the way of Turkish army near town of Chocim. Battle ended with a tactical victory of Commonwealth's army, sealed with a pact confirming peace treaty of Busza from year 1617. If we asked a question: What would happen, if army led by Jan Karol Chodkiewicz didn't win and was decimated at field of Chocim? Most likely survivors from Polish-Cossack army would flee to the fortress and fight for their lives there. The event will be divided into two parts: Battle in the field and siege of the Chocim fortress. In this battle there will be 250 participants from Poland and the whole world. Amount of slots is limited so I suggest you to hurry up!

News:

Hi,

Me, Iriasthor, I would like to join the siege battle as a random player. However, if it's permitted, I would like to join an infantry regiment rather than a cavalry one.

Come on people! With every hour there are fewer places ...



The current list:
Players 195/250
Reserve 0/50

You can count me in a lonely wolf, I would join the Polish Commonwealth if there is a possibility of choice for random people.

The artillery will be allowed?

of course

And where is the position of cannons?

The castle is a few cannon. All clans will be able to have one or two engineers. If you find a clan that wants to take all the cannons- do not see the problem.


But you have to hurry. See the list of reported clans.

I will join as a random player

I would like to join as a random player, sign me in as Suede

Pappenheimer Kürassiere
leader steam: Feldsau[69thNY]
Player: 10-15
Unit: Ottoman Empire, 40 azabs

Warning! There are only 10 available slots left! After we reach the limit we'll start signing people up on a reserve list. Don't worry, it never happened to us that everyone who signed up to the first list actually showed up.

I assigned clan-less players to units. Please, check current unit list.

And question about Piotr Konaszewicz-Sahajdaczny, 40 Cossacks /Tercios Bytom (15 players)/Towarzysze (5 players)/ Random Team (23 players) - what unit will it be and what equipment should we take?

If random players need to register, well, I'd like to register. Playing as Jonathan_Tappersten.

I'm a random'er who'd like to sign up, preferably as a cavalryman.
My in-game name will be Overall_Worshipful_Arsehol.

Hi!

Would it be possible to know the teamspeak direction to which random players have to access? I cannot find that information anywhere in this post and I think it's an important thing to know.

Thanks in advance!

Warning! Signing time came to and end. If someone would like to take part anyway, I  invite you to come to TS, surely there will be some free space.
I remind that the event will start at 20.00 GMT+1! Rules for regiments and TS adress below!

TeamSpeak adress: 178.217.186.86:9866
Password: none

I remind that every regiment/clan leader has to come at least an hour earlier in order to set units and communication. We meet 13 April at 19.00 GMT+1.

Units' rules:

• Every unit of at least six men should have a banner bearer.
• For every 10 people from a clan theres one engineer(optional). In case of clans with less that 10 people, there will be one engineer but only on the siege map (Chocim map).
• Engineers! Remember that your grenades and axes will be more useful destroying gates than attacking enemies. Use your resources well!
• Use loose formations. Clans can move as they please but remember that this is not Napoleonic era.
• During the event communication will work like this: Faction leader -whisper-clan. This is why we ask clan leaders to stay focused.
• All clans have their units assigned. Unit "Piotr Konaszewicz-Sahajdaczny, cossacks 40 players" is a unit of various cossack infantry classes. Every person or clan can choose their class..

When it comes to scenario. We predict a siege of Chocim. This bloody siege will later move to foregrounds of Chocim.

How odd, I seem to have overlooked this wonderful event. Can't guarantee anything but if I'm around I'll definitely pop into TS to fill in for any possible empty spots. In any case, good luck with the event.

As the event is at the same time my NW regiment has battle, I'm not sure if I can come, but I would like to be reserve in the case we can. The German Mercenary Hunters - Wolfpack

Ok, but if you can, you are welcome
