Due to an increasing number of regiments trying to attend each week, we will only allow regiments to participate by invitation.
When: Friday, April 13th. Teams will be organized starting at 9:00pm EDT (We are on Eastern Daylight Time now, so if you are not, come ONE HOUR EARLIER than usual.)
Where: MM_US_Event
TeamSpeak is REQUIRED for all public participants! TeamSpeak info can be found here:
Public players should find the Public Regiment channel, where they will receive basic instructions and the server password. Any public players who miss the instructional period may be denied the password.
We will be hosting another line battle on Friday. The battle will be open to all public players and MM regiments by invitation only. Please join TeamSpeak ahead of the start in order to give new players a brief period to practice line drills and become familiar with organized musket tactics. The server will be passworded, and only public players in TeamSpeak will receive the password once the event has begun. Regiment leaders will receive the password via Steam or TeamSpeak. Each side will be comprised mostly of line infantry, with the exception of one skirmisher, cavalry, and cannon unit per faction. On the first Friday of each month, cannons and cavalry will be removed from the battle for a change of pace. Regiments will be expected to fight in lines of 8-20 players each, adhering to commonly accepted line battle doctrine. The battle will be fought between the two factions with the most votes in the poll and the teams and factions will remain the same for the entire battle. We will be playing best of three rounds on three different large maps.
If your regiment is invited, and you would like to apply for a special position (cannons, cavalry, or skirmishers), send me a PM in the following format:
Special Announcement: As the release of Napoleonic Wars draws closer (sometime this month) I would like to mention that we will be moving this weekly event to the new DLC as soon as it comes out. The guest list will be completely revised when we make the move from MM to NW because not all regiments are going to make the switch, and entire regiments may take time to move over to NW. I would also like to make sure we have ample room for the flood of public players who will be new to line battles in general, so that we can welcome them to our community and show them how things are done. The new event will have a new set of rules specifically written for NW, and we will use the same rules at Tuesday line battles and Fridays (the Top Secret battles also). Essentially, when Napoleonic Wars comes out, there will be an Official North American Line Battle, two days a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Also, when we make the switch, I will no longer post a new thread each week, we will use the same thread stickied in the Napoleonic Wars Events forums to keep people up to date on things.
