In times of war it was the innocent who suffered. The workmen and tradesmen of the cities, their homes and lives ruined. Families murdered and crops burnt.
They had a reason for wanting blood, a desire for vengeance. When the Militia was called into action the farmers laid down their pitch forks, the smiths laid down their hammers and the chefs laid down their pans. They picked up their rifles and marched to battle, and to glory.
Welcome to the Franc-Garde, a french Militia regiment. We are a friendly community who welcome anyone from any background as long as they can speak reasonable English. Teamspeak 3 will be required to take part in our events.
The role the Franc-Garde plays on the battlefield is that of skirmishers. Quick strikes and volleys then pulling back for a second and third strike. Our track record thus in events has been very successful. We set ourselves specific objectives within battles such as capturing key positions, destroying/routing the enemy artillery or being the first to breach the walls of a siege. Once our skirmishing is done and the battle is at its thickest, we tend to lead the charge in a glorious and often suicidal attempt in true Militia style.
However every Regiment of foot needs support, with the introduction of bolt action rifles and trench warfare cavalry became a less usefull weapon on the battlefield. The French military decided to offer up proffesional long standing Officers to help train and fight alongside the Militia, this included their very own artillery battery. Smoke fills the air, cannons fire, men bleed and die. Yet we march.
We have a genuine rank system, and a fair - unbiased promotional system. So far we attend four events a week (Can increase) and hope to soon host our own Trench warfare event. (Currently having custom maps made)
We also have our own server the Franc-Garde_Battle_Server. Which is public with very nice ping for EU players.
*Currently we have 15-20 men attending each event*
Those wishing to join our ranks must simply add myself on steam; TAG Will / fosterstop or PM me via this forum. Anyone wishing to try us out as a Mercenary is more then welcome to. Any questions or further details you'd like to know, feel free to contact me.
Thank you, and we'll see you on the battlefield.
