If around 5-6 people want to play North and South then I'll make a regiment, otherwise there just wouldn't be enough people to even bother creating our own. Also if we do what would you guys rather play as? Infantry? Cavalry? Artillery?

Regiment Garde Huzaren van België
After the Battle of Waterloo, many of the veterans of the Regiment Karabiniers Nr. 2, Regiment Huzaren Nr. 8, and Regiment Lichte Dragonders Nr. 5 (all of which were Belgian cavalry regiments) came together to form a regiment of elite cavalry to protect their homeland in the Southern Netherlands (Modern-day Belgium). Because the Prince of Orange was so popular among the Southern Dutch populace and because many of the veterans had fought alongside the Prince himself at the battle, they wore coats and tunics identical to the attire of the Prince during the Battle of Waterloo. They wore the proud, black-crested helmets of the 2nd Carabiniers and used the same sabers as the 8th Hussars and 5th Light Dragoons as well as riding light, extremely fast warhorses all black as the crests of their helmets. For many years their duties consisted of border patrolling, light skirmishes with bandits as well as Bonapartist rebels trying to leave France. Perhaps their most notable deed was when they captured 2 pirate ships by leaping aboard the ship's deck on horseback; and sunk the 3rd ship by throwing an experimental hand grenade which had managed to roll down to the ship's cargo hold where several barrels of gunpowder were being stored. In 1830 when the Belgian Revolution came around, the Garde Huzaren were torn, like many Belgians. Part of them wanted independence but the other part highly respected the new King, the former Prince of Orange whom they had fought alongside with at Waterloo. By now several of the older veterans were too old for combat but continued to serve as officers, but the younger veterans were still ready, willing, and able to fight. The decision of the Garde Huzaren shocked both the Belgians and the Dutch. They decided not to fight in the conflict but to support Belgian independence and promote peace between Belgium and the Netherlands, having fought alongside both Belgians and Dutchmen, the Garde Huzaren were appaulled that they were now such mortal enemies. In fact during one clash between Belgian revolutionaries and Dutch troops, the Garde Huzaren rode in, fully uniformed but unarmed, and separated the combatants by riding in between them and putting themselves and their horses between the two sides. Several officers of the Garde Huzaren were present during the signing of the peace treaty in 1839 which ended the hostilities between Belgium and the Netherlands. As the last of the Waterloo veterans died off, so too did the Garde Huzaren, but they left a legacy of bravery, honor, duty, and courage in their wake.

1ste Regiment, Marinier Grenadiers van Holland
The 1st Marine Grenadiers have their origins in the crew of a Dutch trading ship. After a disagreement between the marines and the captain of the ship, they decided to take their skills elsewhere and joined the army of the Kingdom of Holland in French military service. The regiment began with only a single company consisting of the marines from the trading ship, but their numbers quickly expanded and they became the 1st Regiment, Marine Grenadiers of Holland. The regiment distinguished itself when they were deployed in a marine assault from the Adriatic sea on an Austrian fortress. The regiment charged the beaches and drove the first line of Austrians back and after a brief but intense firefight the Marines charged the Austrian fortifications. But because they had charged ahead so hastily without artillery support they were driven back, but not before they managed to climb on top of the fortress walls and disable several cannons. They withdrew to the beach and after a thundering naval bombardment pounded the fort for hours, the Marines attacked once again. This time with the fortress defenses weakened by the artillery fire, they overran the Austrians and captured the fort after only thirty minutes of fighting. The regiment suffered moderate casualties but it's morale was high. They were ordered to hold the fortress until reinforcements could arrive although no attack was expected. But one night, the Marines awoke to the sound of gunfire. They were under attack by a force of Austrians. The Marines quickly took up defensive positions and an intense fight broke out. The Marines held their ground for hours and finally, when the morning sun just barely began to rise and the smoke began to clear the remaining Marines stood tired and bloody but steady as a rock. The Austrians had been pushed out of the fort but had surrounded it from the outside. Colonel Klaas, the commander of the Marines, rallied his men by waving his saber and shouting "Come Dutch Devil dogs! It's time to sink our teeth in these Austrians!" And with those words he led the Marines in a bayonet charge. The Austrians were caught totally by surprise when bloody, screaming Dutchmen came charging out of the morning mists. They caught the Austrians off guard and shattered a portion of their line but ended up being completely surrounded. Colonel Klaas was killed when an Austrian grenzer shot him from behind with a musketoon. When the Colonel fell, Captain Bastiaan rallied the Marines with the cry of "Look Marines! Your Colonel has given his life for you! Now give the enemy a chance to die for their country!" The Marines somehow fought their way to victory, routing or killing every Austrian on the field. The total casualties for the Marines amounted to 150 killed and 235 wounded. The total Austrian casualties were 1250 killed, 2000 wounded and captured.

Most likely :/ I guess I'll have to ask around, if I can get like 6-7 guys who want to play then I'll make one, but unless I know that at least 6-7 people would play then I'm not going to make a thread or bother with it.
A bit of a heads up regarding Vini, he has applied on a number of different threads including our own.
I think it's best if you say no until he makes his bloody mind up.
