This regiment is...
A group of fun individuals who enjoy team-based gameplay and a fun time in general. While we try to improve our skills in the game and make strong attendance in battles, we recognize that people have lives, and that includes the leaders. Above everything else, members of all ranks should always remember: their lives come first! This regiment holds firmly towards being a community and not just a team. Enlisted playing other games with officers is to be expected!




Colonel Frederick G. D'Utassy
      History of the 39th New York
   This regiment, raised by the Union Defense Committee of New York city under special authority from the War Department, was accepted by the State May 27, 1861, organized and recruited at New York city under Colonel Frederick George D'Utassy, and mustered in the service of the United States for three years at Washington, D. C.. Ten companies were formed of European immigrants in New York City and Washington D.C.; three companies consisted of Germans, three of Hungarians, one of Swiss, one of Italians, one of Frenchmen, and one of Spaniards and Portuguese. On May 31, 1863, the regiment was consolidated into four companies: A, B, C and D. Any new companies were organized in the field from recruits. Company E formed on December 8, F on December 14, G on December 19, H on December 30, and I and K in January, 1864. Companies A through D were mustered out in New York City on June 24, 1864 (those not entitled to be discharged having previously been transferred to other companies) and the remainder of the regiment, the six companies of E, F, G, H, I and K, retained in service. In October, 1864, a new Company D, enlisted principally at Malone for one year. On June 2, 1865, the members of the regiment not to be mustered out with it were transferred to the 185th Infantry.
   The regiment left the state on May 28, 1861, and served at and near Washington, D.C., from June 1, 1861, in the 1st Brigade of the 5th Division in the Army of Northeastern Virginia. On July 13, 1861, it was transferred to the Blenker's Brigade of the Division of Potomac. On August 4, 1861, it moved to Stahel's Brigade, Blenker's Division, Army of the Potomac. It continued to change frequently until it served in a wholesome number of Brigades, Divisions, Corps, and military outposts including Harper's Ferry and Camp Douglass.

Origins of the Regiment
   Upon the regiment being first raised, the immediate focus of the regiment was European decedents and immigrants. The regiment was designed to make use of United States citizens with possible and probable language boundaries by localizing various languages to different companies of the regiment. German-speakers in one, French-speakers in another, effectively making use of the hundreds of potential soldiers who hardly spoke English. Thus, the foundations for the regiment were set.
   The design of the uniforms and even the nickname given to it, Garibaldi Guard, were tribute. Giuseppe Garibaldi was a key figure in Italian Politics during the late 19th century. He, along with Giuseppe Mazzini, Vittorio Emanuele II, and Camillo Benso, were activists and political icons in Italy, closely associated with the Risorgimento, or the Italian Unification, which was aimed to unite Italy under one banner. La Giovine Italia, or Young Italy, was the organization started by Mazzini that Garibaldi made a name for. In the 1840's, Giuseppe participated in the Uruguayan Civil War, where he lead the "Italian Legion", and participated in multiple battles against the Uruguayan National Party and the Argentine Confederation. He left the war with a name made, one that was rejoiced by Brazil and Uruguay, and returned to Italy in 1848--a year of strife for Italy--the First Italian War of Independence. Giuseppe offered his service to the King of Sardinia-Piedmont, but was firmly rejected. In rebuttal, he sought out the provisional government of Milan, which had recently rebelled against Austrian control. He led his legion to minor victories throughout Italy, and after destroying the Piedmontese at the Battle of Novara, headed to Rome. The Papal States were recently taken by the Republic of Italy, and Giuseppe Mazzini pleaded Garibaldi to assist the defense of Rome against the oncoming assault by Louis Napoleon, also known as Napoleon III, First President of France. Garibaldi answered the call, and during the defense of Rome, captured several enemy cannons, and led an incredible defense. However, on June 29, 1849, the French finally prevailed and took Rome.
   After the defense of Rome, Giuseppe went on to lead many soldiers in the Second Italian War of Independence, the Campaign of 1860, the Expedition of Rome, and various battles against Austria during the Austro-Prussian War. In 1882, Giuseppe Garibaldi passed, and was idolized in history as one of the most influential leaders of the 19th century.

Italian Bersaglieri
      The Uniform of the 39th New York and the Bersaglieri
   The Bersaglieri corps was an Italian unit created in 1836. They were designed and have a history as being a highly mobile, light-infantry unit. They have advanced marches, like a trumpet-playing marching band that practically prances in formation, and a uniform distinctly defined by its wide-brimmed, round hat with Capercaillie feathers. The Bersaglieri was first introduced originally to serve the Piedmontese army, but later served the Royal Italian Army. The hat was so iconic in Italy that some Red Shirts (the volunteers who served under Giuseppe Garibaldi) wore the Bersaglieri hat as part of their uniform. The Bersaglieri would continue to be used in the Italian Army for many years after the Italian Wars of Independence. In the Crimean War, the Bersaglieri first served outside of Italy, and since became a commonly used expeditionary unit in Italy, used in both World War I and II.
   The uniform (namely, the distinct hat) was adopted by the 39th New York for its distinct uniqueness and historical ties to Italy and Garibaldi. Though it represented much pride for Italians and the recent Italian independence and unification, it did little to represent the actual majority of the regiment, with only one company made up of Italians, and the remaining soldiers hailing from the other parts of mainland Europe. Regardless, the grand majority of the soldiers still wore the uniform happily and fought starkly with such.

Head count is 10, and BCoF isn't out yet. We haven't initiated many of the XIe cadets yet, so expect larger numbers. <3

39thNY for NaS = 39thNY for BCoF. Someone from the 93rd started it in BCoF first, and persuaded me to take it when I came back to NW. And read the history, there were actually not that many Italians in this regiment.

Not sure if brigading in an unreleased game is a bad idea...

Well, considering that the team from North & South joined up to make War of Rights and FSE are making Battle Cry of Freedom, I'd say it's at least a mediocre idea.
