New Troop requests
« on: February 09, 2016, 01:49:02 pm »
Want a new unit in NaS?

1) Leave the Regiment / Companies name
2) Leave an image of the uniform
3) Leave a brief history of the unit
4) Pray that your unit is significant enough to gain interest from the devs.
Tip : If you unit doesn't require completely new textures it is more likely to be considered.

(to clarify the fact that posting here does not mean they will get in it just means there is a higher chance)

1st South Carolina Volunteers CSA

They Were basically "The Black Hats" of the Confederacy.

 Initial duty[edit]
First posted to Sullivan's Island, SC to defend Charleston Harbor, others called them the "Pound Cake Regiment" in reference to their "light" garrison duty.

Transfer to Virginia[edit]
In April 1862, the full-strength 1,000-man unit was transferred to Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia (ANV). In June, it was incorporated into Gregg's Brigade, of A.P. Hill's Light Division, of Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson Corps (often termed the "Left Wing" early in the war).

The following actions fall into two categories: they are mentioned in various on-line sources, but are not yet sufficiently documented for inclusion in the template at right; or they are included, under a different name...

Glendale (VA - 30 June 1862)
listed here as Frayser's Farm.
Second Bull Run (VA - 28-30 Aug. 1862)
Usually called Second Manassas by Confederate sources.
Chantilly (VA - 1 Sept. 1862)
Usually called Ox Hill by Confederate sources.
Antietam (MD - 17 Sept. 1862)
Usually called Sharpsburg by Confederate sources.
Franklin's Crossing (VA - 5 June 1863)
also called the Deep Run Battle, involved A. P. Hill's Corps, possibly including Orr's Rifles.
Falling Waters (MD - 14 July 1863)
Apparently this action occurred during the retreat from Gettysburg, part of the Battle of Williamsport. Unfortunately, Wikipedia's article does not mention Orr's Rifles, nor the brigade, division, or corps to which it was subordinate.
CAVEAT Do not confuse this with the battle of the same name that took place on 2 July 1861.
Second Deep Bottom (VA - 14-20 Aug. 1864)
Usually called Fussell's Mill by Confederate sources.
First Squirrel Level Road (VA - 30 Sept. 1864)
This seems to be part of the Peebles' Farm which is also known as Poplar Springs Church. Could Jones Farm (VA - 30 Sept. 1864) and/or First Pegram's Farm (VA - 1 Oct. 1864) also be parts of this same battle?
Five Forks (VA - 1 April 1865)
As with Falling Waters the Wikipedia article makes no mention of Orr's Rifles involvement in action to the west. Anyway, A.P. Hill was still holding the line at Petersburg when the breakthrough occurred on 2 April.
Appomattox Court House (VA - 9 April 1865)
Orr's Rifles was surrendered at that locale, but probably did not take part in this battle, which was fought primarily by the Second Corps.

History
Spoiler
The Brunswicker Ducal Corps, in German: Herzoglich Braunschweigisches Korps, commonly known as the Black Brunswickers in English and the Schwarze Schar ("Black Troop", also translated as "Black Horde" or "Black Host") or Schwarze Legion ("Black Legion") in German were a military unit in the Napoleonic Wars. The corps was raised from volunteers by German-born Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1771–1815) . The Duke was a harsh opponent of Napoleon Bonaparte's occupation of his native Germany.[1] Formed in 1809 when war broke out between the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire, the corps initially comprised a mixed force, around 2,300 strong, of infantry, cavalry and later supporting artillery.

A single infantry regiment and the hussars were maintained by the Duchy of Brunswick after the end of the Napoleonic War. In 1830, the uniform colour was changed to blue, but reverted to black in 1850.[30] The Brunswick units were integrated into the Prussian Army in 1866 with the titles: Braunschweigisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr.92 and Braunschweigisches Husaren Regiment Nr.17 following the Prussian regimental numbering sequence. Both units kept the skull with the crossed bones on their helmets and caps and carried the battle honours "Peninsula-Sicily-Waterloo" until the end of World War I in 1918, when they were disbanded

1) Leave the Regiment / Companies name: 16th Maine.
2) Leave an image of the uniform:
Spoiler
[close]
3) Leave a brief history of the unit: On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, the men of the 16th Maine were ordered to hold off an intense Confederate attack.
4) Pray that your unit is significant enough to gain interest from the devs: They are practically the 20th Maine except on day 1, they lost, and they fought the entire confederate army.

3) Leave a brief history of the unit: Initially, the regiment was divided into eleven companies of men of different national heritage: three German, three Hungarian, one Swiss, one Italian, one French, one Spanish, and one Portuguese. On May 31, 1863, the regiment was consolidated into four companies: A, B, C and D. The regiment expanded as new companies were recruited in the field.
4) Pray that your unit is significant enough to gain interest from the devs: This would make for some pretty cool and flashy units alongside the 58th NY.

3) Leave a brief history of the unit: he 1st Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment was a regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It suffered more casualties in an ill-fated charge during the Siege of Petersburg than any Union regiment lost in a single day of combat throughout the war. It was also the Union regiment with the highest number of officers killed (23).
4) Pray that your unit is significant enough to gain interest from the devs: Come on, artillery charged a heavily fortified Confederate position, and I'm from the area they were mustered form!

1st Virginia
Spoiler
[close]



The 1st Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment raised in the Commonwealth of Virginia for service in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. It fought mostly with the Army of Northern Virginia.

The 1st Virginia completed its organization at Richmond, Virginia, in May, 1861. At the outbreak of the war it had ten companies, but in April three were detached. Thus the unit contained seven companies from Richmond and in mid-July a company from Washington, D.C. was added. Its first colonel, Patrick T. Moore, was severely wounded on July 18, 1861 in the skirmish at Blackburn's Ford, and Lt. Col. W.H. Fry commanded at the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas).

1st Tennessee Volunteer Infantry



History of the 1st Tennessee
The First Tennessee Volunteer Infantry (Maney's) was organised on 2nd May 1861 at Nashville, Tennessee. After initial training, it was ordered to Virginia to join Brigadier-General William W. Loring's Division, Army of the North-West and took part in the abortive Cheat Mountain campaign within Brigadier-General Samuel R. Anderson's Brigade, It was involved in Major-General Thomas J. Jackson's expedition to Bath, Virginia during December 1861, and on 17 February 1862 was ordered West where it served for most of the remainder of the Civil war, later joining the Army of Tennessee. The left wing of the regiment (Co.'s A, B, C, D and E) was sent to Cumberland Cap, whilst the right wing (Co.'s F. G, H, I and K, took part in the Battle of Shiloh on 6-7 April 1862.

Re-united, the 1st Tennessee was re-organised about 1 May 1862, as part of the 2nd Brigade, Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham's Division. During August 1862 they took part in General Braxton Bragg's invasion of Kentucky where it suffered heavily in the Battle of Perryville, later retreating into Tennessee to be involved in the Battle of Murfreesboro on 8 October 1862. Following this, it was consolidated with remnants of the 27th Tennessee Infantry to form a field organisation known as the 1st/27th Consolidated Regiment in January 1863. It remained thus for the remainder of the war, under the command of Colonel Hume R. Feild. It was mainly involved in the battles of Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge during 1863, and Kennesaw Mountain, Jonesboro, Franklin, and Nashville in 1864, as part of the Army of Tennessee.

After defeat at Nashville the army made a long and tedious journey through Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina to join General Joseph E. Johnston at Bentonville, North Carolina. In the final re-organisation of Johnston's Army in April 1865, the 1st/27th was consolidated with the 6th, 8th, 9th, 15th, 28th and 34th Infantry Regiments, and the 24th Battalion of Sharpshooters to form the 1st Consolidated Regiment of Tennessee Infantry. The consolidated regiment formed part of General Joseph E. Palmer's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, Hardee's Corps. After the Battle of Bentonville, it was surrendered by General Johnston at Durham, North Carolina on 26 April 1865, and was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina on 1 May 1865. In April 1862 the 1st Tennessee had 1,167 men of all ranks on its roll, but only 125 were left to surrender. The 1st Tennessee returned home on 21 May 1865.

3) Historical Background
Spoiler
The 83rd Pennsylvania was a volunteer infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. They participated in almost every major battle in the East, including Seven Days Battles, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Petersburg and Appomattox Court House.

As one of four regiments in the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Corps, Army of the Potomac, they fought alongside the 20th Maine, 44th New York, and the 16th Michigan in the spirited defense of Little Round Top in which regiment commander Colonel Strong Vincent was mortally wounded.

The 83rd Pennsylvania suffered the second-highest number of battle deaths among Union Army infantry regiments during the war, behind only the 5th New Hampshire.

During Gettysburg, they were the regiment next to the 20th Maine. They held the top of Little Round Top where the Colonel, Strong Vincent mounted a large boulder, Vincent brandished a riding crop given to him by his wife and shouted to his men "Don't give an inch!" A bullet struck him through the thigh and the groin and he fell. Due to the determination of the 20th Maine, the 44th New York, the 83rd Pennsylvania and the 16th Michigan Infantry Regiments, the Union line held against the Confederate onslaught. Vincent was carried from the hill to a nearby farm, where he lay dying for the next five days, unable to be transported home due to the severity of his injury.
The commander of the Army of the Potomac, Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, recommended Vincent for promotion to brigadier general on the evening of July 2. The promotion was dated July 3, 1863, but it is doubtful that Vincent knew about the honor before he died. The promotion was not approved by Congress, and it still hasn't been discussed.
