What is Hardcore Conquest? We have created a set of rules that confine the participating regiments within defined formations and compositions. By structuring the makeup and performance of the regiments involved, we have attempted to create a more challenging event, where teamwork and training are as valuable as skill and experience. Sternly enforcing the event rules, we hope that players will be rewarded more when they achieve victory, instead of stretching the rules in order to win.
Mondays at 8:00pm EST
TeamSpeak: ts3.1stepi.com
Admins: Gunny, 5arge, JD, Cthulhu, Heinrich, and Sivart.
Assistant Admins: To Be Determined
This weekly conquest event is open to Iron Europe regiments by
invitation only.
Regiments who would like to request an invitation may do so by following the Guest List Application instructions below. This is to ensure a high quality of participation. Regiment leaders will receive the server name and password via TeamSpeak in the Line Battle Administration channel. Special Roles (Assault, Sniper, Light Machine Gun, Engineer, Heavy Machine Gun, and Artillery) will be assigned in TeamSpeak prior to the event. We will be playing best of three conquest maps.
The event will be hosted on the Official North American IE server, therefore for the event the server will be passworded, and all public players who wish to participate will be required to join the teamspeak, much like the MM events hosted by MG from which this linebattle owes its heritage.
Please familiarize yourself with the event rules. Violators may be slain, kicked, or banned with no warning.EVENT GUIDELINES AND EXPECTATIONS
General Expectations:
-Regimental Officers and NCOs are responsible for enforcing the event rules within their ranks. Failure to do so will result in the entire regiment being punished.
-All regiments must agree that they understand and intend to follow the event rules before they are allowed to attend.
-Violation of any written event rule may result in an automatic slay, kick, or ban. This is your warning.
-Team Killing will not be tolerated at any time during the event, for any reason. Accidental TKs may be punished per admin discretion.
Guidelines for Infantry:
-Troops may only leave their trenches (or the immediate area around a flag spawn) in squads of 3 or more. They may not be spread out more than 5 paces apart at any time. Certain units may ignore this rule.
-If a squad suffers casualties and has less than 3 troops or if one of the squad are separated by more than 5 paces, they must either Retreat or Dig In.

THE PUBLIC REGIMENT
The Public Regiment is a tradition dating back to the first NA Friday Night Line Battle hosted on February 4th, 2011. In order to fill the server, because there were not many NA based regiments at that time, we allowed all public players to attend. Instead of setting them free upon the battlefield however, we subjected them to a half hour of regimental line drill training courtesy of the 1stEPI's training manual (which was based off of Hardee's manual). Ever since, we have fielded a group of public players formed up as a regiment of their own.
To qualify as a public player, you must not be in a regiment, so players wearing tags may be denied entry into the event.
Public players who have been to many battles and have shown proficiency following and giving orders have been assigned as trustworthy pubOfficers to the Public Regiment. When an admin is not available to train and lead the pubs into battle, the responsibility passes to one of the pubOfficers.
The current roster of honored and respected pubOfficers is as follows: Gooner, Commissar_Thurne, Altus, J D, Almus, Trapper_Hat, Anbu_Leo, and SilentMatthew.
