About
The 2ème Régiment d'Infanterie Légère is a North American voltigeur-based regiment. We pride ourselves in skirmishing where we use quick paced maneuvers and loose formations to bring hell down upon our foes. We recognize ourselves as a mature regiment, able to get serious when we need to be, yet having fun all the same. We won't permit trolling inside or outside our linebattles/teamspeak. Trolling is strictly prohibited and will be met with appropriate discipline. Trainings are important. It teaches members formations and drills that will be executed on the field of battle, crucial to our quick deployment and most importantly the casualties we impose on the enemy.
On to history. The 2ème seen plenty of action during the Napoleonic Wars. The one battle honour that was placed upon their eagle was the Battle of Friedland. I've tried to locate a more in depth description of the 2ème's role in the battle, but alas I have failed. I can presume they fought valiantly due to it being awarded on their eagle. A full record of engagements can be found below. At Waterloo, the 2ème was the largest french regiment in attendance; Comprised of four battalions, it fielded 2,294 men and officers. They were one of the first regiments that were a part of the assault on Hugoumont. During the battle, Colonel Pierre-Francois Maigrot was wounded.
