Player regiment application [get your regiment ingame!]

[Hinkel]

Helpful and loyal player regiments can get their own unique regiment ingame! This is one of the main features of the future Gettysburg Update.

Regiment leaders can get their regiment ingame. You and your regiment will be able to play a new class, which is just available and unique to your regiment. You will have your own name, own uniform and flag colors. That regiment with its own uniform is exclusive for you and your soldiers, while other players can see your unique uniform (but they can't choose it  ).

Note:

Those regiments have to be historical and civil war based.
You need more then 15 active people in your regiment.

Feel free to fill out that application. The regiments applications will be collected and evaluated later.

Why would you like to see your regiment in Gettysburg? Because it was present at the battle


Please describe your North and South experiences: I have personally been playing North and South since the very beginning of it. I've also played Secession for some time. I love both mods and all the effort that has been put into them. Many of the 6th Wisconsin regiment members have been playing since the very beginning of N&S as well.

I'd like to see my regiment in Gettysburg because it was there at the battle. Made a great sacrifice on the third day but kept fighting through the war. The leader of the 5th Virginia: Kenton Harper also went on to become Major general of the Virginia Militia. It was also part of the Stonewall Brigade.

My Experince of North and South: I'v been here for a while now serving in the Union ranks as-well as the Confederate Ranks. Now leading my own regiment I would like it to be placed in the game.

Thanks for reading.

Why would you like to see your regiment in Gettysburg?
It was a very unique unit, one that served the entirety of the war. The uniform was a patriotic callback to the Italian Bersaglieri, which was relevant to the Italians in the regiment, though, the regiment actually consisted of Spaniards, Frenchmen, Swiss, Germans, Hungarians, most likely Poles and Lithuanians as well, and of course, Italians.

Please describe your North and South experiences: I had a lot of fun with North & South as a game, the only part I didn't like was the community. However, I expect it to be a little different in Gettysburg, especially since I will not be playing with the same groups of people.

The 3rd is the oldest regiment in the US Army, and today serves as the Presidential Honor Guard as well as guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.
In July of 1861 the Union advance into Virginia was stopped at Bull Run as the two armies groped and blundered into each other. When the Federal line broke in the afternoon and the routed army began to flee toward Washington, a movement by the Southerners threatened to cut off the retreat.  For the only time in the war, the battalion formed a square and successfully defended the ridge and road against infantry, artillery, and cavalry until all units of the fleeing army had crossed the bridge. The battalion then retired in good order to Washington. Fewer than five hundred men had saved the Army and perhaps the Union. When the President came to review the troops at the end of the month, the army commander pointed out the little battalion and said to Lincoln, "These are the men who saved your army!" Lincoln replied, "Yes, I have heard of them."

The final combat of the war for the Third Infantry would be at Gettysburg. The Regular Division, Third Infantry included, reached Gettysburg at 12:30 am on July 2, the second day of the battle, having marched from Falmouth Heights, facing Fredericksburg, in 30 days (including detours to attempt to capture Confederate Colonel John Mosby). In the previous week there had been but one cooked meal. Reveille was at 3:00 am. There was no breakfast. During the day, the Third Corps had moved forward of the Cemetery Ridge line to gain and hold a road. The movement had not been coordinated, and by mid-afternoon the Corps formed a salient in the line. The attack of Confederate General Longstreet's Corps, beginning at 4:00 pm, was intended to take control of the Round Tops, smash into the exposed Third Corps line on the Wheatfield Road, and begin to roll up the Federal line along Cemetery Ridge. The attack was stopped by a handful of infantry regiments and artillery batteries on Little Round Top and the Regular Division in Plum Run Valley and at the Rose Farm. An eyewitness described the end of the Regular Division:

"The Regulars fought with determined skill and bravery for nearly an hour, then reluctantly fell back as if on drill, but sharply and bravely contesting every foot of ground. These things I saw, and I am glad, as a volunteer, to bear tribute to the United States Regulars."

Please describe your North and South experiences: The guys and I have played in the North & South community for a long time now and have made a very good reputation for ourselves in both combat (melee especially) and discipline. We have all fully enjoyed the experience so far and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Gettysburg! We only wish it would come sooner ;P

Simply because they saved the whole Union Army, and being their last true engagement it sort of important to them, and The USA as a whole

The 9th Ohio was the first German Regiment. It's kind of a tribute to all German Volunteers


Please describe your North and South experiences: I played N&S for a long time, after being Sergeant, in the now disbanded 3rd New Jersey Infantry I formed the 9th Ohio. We aren't so old but I think we already showed what we can reach.

Since the regiment lost their flag twice, there are two recorded flags that I have found.
The first, part of a thread on the subject by (presumably) a member of the same Austrian Reenactment regiment - http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs62x/gacwmb/webbbs_config.pl?md=read;id=12926

*Note: there are only two flags of the 5th known to exist, the first and another in the hands of a private collector. This second flag is purported to be a fake, however I still like the design and am in the process of locating an image of the one in private hands.
*Addendum: The Austrian Reenactment group mentioned above wields a Clinch Rifles flag, which appears to be the Georgia battle flag with CR inside the circle of stars. This may be a copy of the flag that was reported to be in private hands.

Why would you like to see your regiment in Gettysburg?
I feel they are a unique regiment in the Civil War, they have some really nice early war uniforms, and I've personally invested time into the ingame regiment and would be very happy to see them ingame!


Please describe your North and South experiences:
I've personally not been a part of the community for very long, only about 6 months, but I've been one of the commanders of what I find to be a wonderful group of men under me, many of which I have come to consider to be great friends!
