Normandy Beach Invasion - Napoleonic Style!
Hosted by the 1stWFI
When: Sunday, October 12th,2014 - 3 PM EST
Where: 1stWFI_Community_Maps
Attendance: Application Only
Rules:
- Respect players and admins at all times. Trolling/team damaging/team killing will result in a ban from the event. Multiple offenses from the same regiment will result in a regimental ban.
- Do not stand on boats after landing or do anything to delay their respawn.
- Do not rambo (solo charge) unless you’re the last one alive in your squad
- You must fight in squads that are explained under "General Information" or be slayed or banned on repeated offenses.
General Information:
- The actual gametype for this is "Siege".
- Fighting will be done in squads of 6 (5 musketeers and 1 sapper, you may also substitute in an officer in a musketeers place.)
- Having uneven numbers for squads will result in an understrength squad, but they will be allowed to play as normal.
- Sappers WILL play a large role in this event, so make sure to have one.
- Fighting will be done in skirmish formation. This means you do not have to line up and may use cover and kneel, but you must stay within close proximity of each other.
- The boats respawn every 3.5 minutes of not being used, provided no one is on them.
- You must be in a full strength squad to leave the attackers spawn. You can wait on your whole squad, or fall in with another (provided you have a way of communicating with them established)
- Artillery is already placed on the map. More being brought in is not allowed.
- There are 2 howitzers and multiple mortars on the defenders hill.
- There are 2 12lb cannons to emulate a battle ship’s gun on the attackers spawn.
- No cavalry will be used.
- The defending team will have less numbers than the attacking team due to their stronger defensive position. There will be a rough 40%-60% split between defenders and attackers.
- Coordination will be needed on both sides to succeed!
- We ask for your cooperation and patience as we smooth out the kinks. We expect that there may be some lag issues due to the moving boats, so be prepared for that.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION
We will not begin filling up teams until late Friday night, September 26th. This is because we have personally invited a handful of regiments and want to get them locked in before we open it to the public.
We will allow regiments to be in "reserve" once we're full in case one of the accepted applicants cannot make it.
It is important that you provide as accurate numbers as possible so we can plan accordingly and not spend half an hour of the event trying to plan things out on the spot.
Applications are NOT on a "first come, first serve" basis. We'll review all applications within a couple of days and put you on the roster if accepted.
Both teams will receive 2 skirmisher squads and an artillery squad. The artillery squad for attackers will only need 2-4 people for 2 cannons. Defenders will need a full 6 man squad to use all of the artillery.
