After weeks of consideration, I have decided to terminate this event. It has become too much of a hassle to try and convince each regiment to police their own members and enforce the event rules within their ranks. Rather than continuing to plead with people to only fire in formation, and maintain a two rank line if their regiment is large, I am just going to cancel the event and move on.
There are more than enough line battle events during the week, and nothing is stopping any of you from starting your own weekly event. I wish you all luck finding/creating a line battle. When I first started playing MM there were no North American events, at all. Then me and Wilson got motivated enough to make one. Now it's your turn.
I have plans to organize a new Friday night line battle, but it will be strictly invitation only, and will be geared towards the most hardcore regiments who take pride in their mastery of line drills and value the skill it takes to win a battle in proper formation.
