We are looking for new players and grizzled veterans alike. Above all, our aim is to provide a friendly and supportive environment in which we can give our members the best possible experience.

Regimental History


Izmailovsky Regiment was one of the oldest regiments of the Russian imperial army, a subdivision of the 1st Guards Infantry Division of the Imperial Russian Guard. It was formed in Moscow on 22nd September 1730. The first commander of the regiment was appointed Adjutant general Count Karl Gustav von Löwenwolde. After him, only members of the Imperial family were chiefs of the regiment. On March 17th the regiment was renamed to Lifeguard His Imperial Highness Konstantin Pavlovich regiment and then on May 28th of the same year to Lifeguard His Imperial Highness Nikolai Pavlovich regiment. The original name was returned in 1801.

Battle of Borodino
Regiment became famous after battle of Borodino when it was put to main reserve together with Litovsky Lieb-Guards regiment. On Kutuzov's orders, Izmailovsky and Litovksy were both sent to the left flank of the battlefield. During their advancing march they were caught under heavy artillery fire but this didn't stop their advancing for even for a moment. In full order Izmailovsky regiment reached enemy's left flank and took over their positions under continuous artillery fire.

Seeing this, Napoleon decided to send his Cavalry Corps (Latour-Mobourg and Nansouty), also known as Iron men, on Izmailovsky and Litovsky regiment in order to cut off their advancement from the left flank towards french main forces in the middle. On the first site it looked as if the French were getting batter of Izmailovsky and Napoleon was quoted saying: "Ils y vont, ils y vont!".as the Russians saw french cavalry they formed squire. The Iron men and french artillery were not nearly enough to stop Izmailovsky guard. French cavalry reformed and attacked three times before pulling back. Izmailovsky then continued their advancement towards victory.

As a result, Izmailovsky lost 4 officers and 176 soldiers while 13 officers and 528 soldiers were wounded during the battle.

All my life I’ve been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come it’s not near as terrible as I’d expected. The sun still shines, water still tastes good…glory is all well and good but life is enough, nay?
