Shuji said:Relatively new to NW, and i'm looking for a regiment. Few notes about me, i'm 20, from the US, and can be on more or less anytime, my job is more flexible than most, especially in the evenings. I do have teamspeak, but I don't have a mic at the moment so I can listen, not talk....other than that i'm good for anything.
Shuji said:Still looking for a good regiment, preferably one that isn't too horribly strict and allows for some fun. Note: I'm more interested in a regiment that has skirmishing/light infantry detachments, but i'm open to anything.
NitemareSlasher said:Hello there i am looking for a United Kingdom Regiment. It doesn't have to be one that's very active.
Who are we? We are a small group of friends who like to replay moments in battles through artillery. We were set up in November as the 1st Royal Field Artillery and changed name to the AGI in January. We disbanded in March of 2013, only to reform again in August that same year. | Why we need you We are looking for men from all backrounds to join us. We need men to join our artillery and our artillery guards. | How to join If you want to join, add Napoleon on Steam or send a PM to me here on the forums. |

FROM THE BATTALION HEADQUARTERS
MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT&BLADE: NAPOLEONIC WARS COMMUNITY,
I would like to take a moment to extend an invitation to you in considering membership within the 1. Ostpreussische Infanterie. I believe the 1st East Prussian Infantry Will Cater to the Atmosphere you may be looking for in NW. Established as one of the first North American regiments in 2010, the 1st East Prussian Infantry sets the standard for structure, discipline, and etiquette within the community. We have been very influential in how regiments are structured and run, and we pride ourselves in our High standards for excellence.
We have been formed to accurately represent a Prussian Line Infantry Battalion of the Napoleonic Era, and you will not find a better regiment in the community that does that. In order to perform in as accurate as a manner possible we took field manuals of the era and have adapted them to work in game. Unlike most regiments on the field, you WILL NEVER see the 1st East Prussian infantry Snaking around in those columns and playing follow the leader. All of our Movements are done in two ranks, and column movements and wheels are always performed correctly.
We Train and Participate in Line-Battles fairly often: on Tuesday, a training is held at 5pm Est for all European players, and a Linebattle is held at 8pm Est for all North American Players. On Thursday, we hold our North American Training at 8pm Est. on Friday, we hold our North American Linebattle at 9pm Est. On Saturdays, we Hold an International training at 3pm Est. That is a LOT of events, and members are not expected to attend all of them. However, activity is encouraged, and we like to see our members as often as we can.
That is about it for touching on the Basic information of the 1st East Prussian Infantry(1stEPI). If you would like to dig deeper I highly encourage and invite you to visit our website. www.1stepi.com
I look forward to seeing a few of you eager folks in the near future,

Overview
Hello!
We are the 1st California Volunteer Infantry. California never historically took part in the Napoleonic Wars according to contemporary historians. We know this to be false because Ezra Pound has written many books proving that California actually sent in the 1st Volunteer Infantry in an attempt to defeat those pesky Brits once and for all! California would have won if not for the fact that they got lost and wound up in Tunisia. Close enough.
About Us
We are a just for fun regiment that is looking for members of all experience levels as long as they are willing to have fun and try strategies that will not always result in a victory. Such as a 20 man pike charge for MotherRussiaCalifornia. We only ask that you listen to all orders, no matter how stupid.
Expectations
1. Always attack, never defend
2. Never surrender
3. Fight to the death
4. Never die
5. Listen to crazy orders
Teamspeak info will be found on the steam page.

Rankings
Our rankings are simple and few because we feel the unit should operate as a team effort instead of some imperialistic fascist dictatorship.
The rankings are as follows:
1. Officer
2. Volunteer
Got it?
The current officer to volunteer ratio is 1:10
History
Most of the 1st California was recruited from August to October 1861, with the exception of Company K, which was organized the following February. Many of its companies were formed from companies of the California Militia taken intact into federal service others from individuals drawn from the militia. James H. Carleton served as colonel, Joseph R. West as lieutenant colonel and Edwin A. Rigg as major. It came under the command of the Department of the Pacific (later it would come under the Department of New Mexico). After some training at Camp Downy[1] near Oakland and Camp Latham near Los Angeles. Companies D, F and G were sent to establish and garrison Camp Wright, in November 1861. Detachments from the camp captured Daniel Showalter's party near Warner's Ranch, November 20-29, 1861. In December, 1861, five companies of the regiment were sent to Fort Yuma on the Colorado River and the others to various posts around Southern California.[2]
The regiment was assigned to a force called the California Column, which was commanded by Carleton and composed of one infantry regiment (the 5th) and parts of two cavalry regiments (the 1st and 2nd) of California volunteers and a company of Regular artillery. The Column was formed to drive the Confederate Army of New Mexico out of the eastern part of the New Mexico Territory. Due to supply problems, the force did not move out until February 1862. The 1st Infantry saw fighting at the Battle of Picacho Pass (only Company I) and the Battle of Apache Pass (this battle was against Apache warriors, not Confederates). The regiment continued marching across the New Mexico Territory to Fort Craig. Picacho Pass was the only engagement against Confederate forces, since they had retreated back into Texas before the California Column reached eastern New Mexico and they made no attempt to recover the territory they lost.
For the remainder of the war, the 1st California Infantry was engaged in garrison duty dispersed in posts across New Mexico Territory and Texas and fighting Apache and Navajo Indians in these places and in the Utah Territory. The unit was mustered out on October 21, 1866.
