The 44th Regiment is proud to present it's first event, the Battle of the Nations (based off the historical battle of Leipzig). Every Thursday, the linebattle will happen at 8pm Eastern on the NW_44th_East_Essex server. We strive to create a professional and very fun experience by enabling the full variety of specialists and roles on the battlefield. Infantry, skirmishers, cavalry, and artillery will need to work cohesively to reach a victory. Through the usage of top notch administration, it is fully possible to eliminate trouble makers to make a great game possible. The server is hosted in Dallas, Texas by Quantum Impulse Gaming. Melee speeds are set to be at highest and ping should be relatively low.



General Expectations

  • Participating groups are willing to work with admins(do this exclusively through Steam / Teamspeak), this includes respect.
    [*]Issues are first to be dealt with by officers, should this be repeated then the regiment will be penalized.
    [*]Rule breaking and guideline ignorance will lead to a slay, then a ban after the first warning. There is only 1 warning for violations.
    [*]Less than 6 people requires a group to follow another or leave. You will be blacklisted from a specialist role if you cannot provide the minimum.





General Ruleset

There will be a minimum of 2 maps, with a possibility of a third if time allows. The maps will be resolved by 'best of two' victory in round count. A custom / default map is allowable at admin discretion for the second map (or third if allows). On choosing random maps, if two or more leaders disagree on a choice then the map is vetoed automatically (This must be done through Steam). Any contact to admins for administrative purposes must be done through Steam, please make sure you and your commanders are linked in the network of admins to ensure that all complaints can be dealt with privately and quickly. Although groups are free to allow anyone to attend, if you repeatedly bring trolls then you will be removed for failure to enforce discipline.

  • Infantry may not discharge a loaded musket while out of formation or in a charge. *Anti cavalry formations must be static to fire
  • Officer targeting is a slayable offense if purposeful, avoid this entirely unless you are a skirmisher.
  • Infantry is permitted to crouch if the line is at a distance from enemies and enemies are not firing small arms fire.
  • Absolutely no spacing is allowed in infantry formations, gaps are acceptable only while reloading. When the process is done, the gap must be filled.
  • When a line reaches 3 or less, they must A)(if charging) continue a charge B) (if firing) find a friendly line, failure to do either results in penalization.
  • Skirmishers are defined as light infantry, using rifles or muskets with bayonets. Regular infantry is allowed for the role, but the default lights are encouraged.
  • May not exceed over 10 skirmishers and 1 officer while providing the minimum of 6 men, sergeants are included in this number and hornists / flagbearers may not pick up ranged weapons.
