The Monthly Realism Event
​

Information The realism line-battle event was created by the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. We want to create a new experience for participants. With more focus on teamwork. with a touch of a historical background on a certain engagement, more focus on tactics used, more communication between regiments. So in that aspect this event will be different than the traditional line-battles we attend. We aim to provide an event where we focus on an actual engagement from the Napoleonic Wars. Our map maker, Hall, produces a custom map for each even based on that month's historical setting. The set of rules are enforced by admin(s) who are dedicated as spectators. Their goal is to encourage tactics that are similar to what would have happened in that time. will provide a stable server where players should have decent pings. We hope to host one of the most fun and well organized events in the community. This is a North American based event. he server is high-performance and stable. It is rented from Amazon Web Services in Northern Virginia and it supports over 200 players. Next upcoming Realism event: Saturday June 27th, 2015 (8 pm EST) Details for the server will be handed out on the 87th TS at 7.30pm EST ​

This help us for balancing the teams out as best as possible. ​ ​ ​ |History Corner| Spoiler: Battle of Eylau With his centre almost broken, Napoléon resorted to ordering a massive charge by Murat's 11,000-strong cavalry reserve — aside from the Guard, the last major unbloodied body of troops remaining to the French. Thus began one of the greatest cavalry charges in history. Somewhat obscured by the weather, Murat's squadrons charged through the Russian infantry around Eylau and then divided into two groups. The group on the right, Grouchy's dragoons, charged into the flank of the Russian cavalry attacking St Hilaire's division and scattered them completely. Now led by Murat himself the dragoons wheeled left against the Russian cavalry in the centre and, joined by d'Hautpoult's cuirassier division drove the Russian cavalry back on their infantry. Fresh Russian cavalry forced Murat and the dragoons to retire, but d'Hautpoult's cuirassiers broke through everything and the broken Russian were cut to pieces by fresh regiments of cuirassiers. D'Hautpoult then rode through the Russian guns chasing off or sabering the gunners and burst through the first line of Russian infantry trampling a battalion of infantry that attempted to stand. The cuirassiers forced their way through the second line of Russians and only after 2,500 yards did the charge finally expend its force in front of the Russian reserves. A second wave of cavalry consisting of the Guards and Grouchy's dragoons now charged the Russians as they attempted to reform and also rode through both lines of infantry. Another group charged into the Russian infantry in the area where Augereau's corps had made its stand. Not content with these heavy blows, the cavalry reformed, wheeled, and charged back again, finally retiring under the protection of the Guard cavalry. Murat had lost 1,000 to 1,500 well-trained troopers,[13] but relieved the pressure on Augereau, Saint-Hilaire, and Soult paralyzing the Russians long enough to allow Davout to deploy in strength. Rarely had French cavalry played such a pivotal part in a battle. In part this was because, for the first time, Murat's men were now mounted on the best cavalry horses in Europe, freshly requisitioned in the aftermath of the conquest of Prussia. Davout's corps, about 15,000 strong, was now in position and began to drive in the Russian left. Despite the disarray of the Russian centre, Napoléon declined to follow up Murat's charge by advancing with the Guard. Such a move may have decisively won the battle, but Napoléon, well aware that 9,000 Prussians under L'Estocq and his chief of staff Gerhard von Scharnhorst were still unaccounted for, judged it wise to retain the Guard in reserve. Through the afternoon, Soult, Augereau, and Murat managed to hold their ground while Davout, assisted by Saint-Hilaire, gradually bent the Russian left back further and further pushing it back to a right angle with the Russian centre. By 15:30 it seemed that the Russian cohesion would soon break as their left was in full retreat.[14] For several crucial hours Bennigsen could not be found, he having personally ridden to L'Estocq to urge that general to hasten the march of his Prussian corps to the battlefield. Bennigsen's mission was crowned with success. L'Estocq's 9,000 man Prussian force, having lost a third of its strength to Ney's pursuit, approached the battlefield via the Russian right and passed completely behind the Russian position to its left wing, gathering strength in doing so by collecting Russian stragglers and adding them to the 6,000 Prussian troops. At 16:00 L'Estocq counterattacked by falling on Davout's exposed right flank, and the heartened Russians soon launched a fresh attack against Davout. Over the next three hours Davout was halted and forced back to a line running from the village of Kutschitten to near the village of Anklappen towards Saint Hillaire's right by Eylau.[15] Davout alert to the danger, formed a battery of his guns on the heights of Klein Sausgarten and personally rallied his troops while his guns drove the Prussians back into the woods. With nightfall, exhaustion set in and fighting on the Russian left petered out. ​ Map preview Spoiler: Eylau battle map preview Spoiler: Cav scenario Spoiler: Russian Spawn and Artillery position Spoiler: Looking towards French Spawn and Artillery position Spoiler: Artillery position Spoiler: French spawn Spoiler: Looking towards The artillery positions and Russian spawn Spoiler: Looking toward the town of Eylau Objectives Spoiler: Event maps 1st map = Eylau (Cav scenario, Battalion and realism rules) (Swap sides after 2 rounds) 2nd map = Eylau ( Battalion and realism rules) 3rd map =  Older Realism event map (No battalions or commanders, but still realism rules) Spoiler: Objectives Russia (for cav scenario) Must ensure French doesn't reach the Artillery (for normal scenario) Must take control of the town of Eylau Spoiler: Objectives France (for cav scenario) Must capture artillery (for normal scenario) Must ensure the town of Eylau doesn't get taken by the Russians ​ ​
