INTRODUCTION



         
About Us
The 3e Légion de la Vistule was founded by Korwan on April 28th, 2020. During the pandemic, Korwan felt an urge to return
to Napoleonic Wars, and got his old officer Don to hop on and start the regiment. SteveUrkle12 was then invited, creating the
3 man officer corps of the regiment. Through strict old style discipline and mass recruitment, the 3e has sustained itself quite
well, without having any fear of disbanding.

With the world opening back up, Korwan felt the need to take a step back from leadership, but not the regiment that he
created and put his time into. He stepped down on April 5th, 2021, handing leadership over to SteveUrkle12. With a fresh
leader, the 3e is looking to keep its traditions, while adapting to the new environment of NW.



Our Morals
Morals of the 3e Légion de la Vistule The 3e Légion de la Vistule is a regiment which will fight and stand for each other no
matter the odds. We will support our brothers, just as they would support us. We have a sense of discipline that keeps
everyone refreshed and in line, so no one person feels left out or degraded. We have a strong community of people willing
to help one another, whether it be in life or in game. We are here to help, defend, and maintain the community.




HISTORY OF THE LÉGION DE LA VISTULE
"... there were plenty of young men determined to prove their prowess on the battlefield."
- Norman Davies





Introduction: A Brief Military History of Poland
"Darling war, what a lady you must be for all the most
handsome boys to follow you like this."
- from a popular Polish song



          During the American expansion in 19th century there was a saying in Mexico: "What bad luck for us. We are so far from
God and so close to the USA." In 1840s Mexico lost more than 55% of its national territory to the much bigger neighbour.
The Poles had not just one such neighbour but two. They were sandwiched between the militaristic Germany and the
mighty Russian Empire. Furthermore, from the south and south-east came the Mongol (Tatar) hordes and the vast armies
of Ottoman Empire. From the political and military point of view it was one of the worst locations on Earth. For this reason
Poland has in the course of history had little acquaintance with peace, but has again and again been forced to take up arms
in the defence of the country.

Neal Ascherson, Scottish journalist, writes, "Russia and Prussia, especially, tried to suppress both Polish culture and language
and the Catholic faith.  In response, the Poles developed one of the most intense and self-sacrificing versions of Romantic
nationalism ever seen in Europe."The Poles have been compelled to fight almost continously. Norman Davies writes, "Few
nations in the last 200 years have seen more military action than the Poles, Private armies abounded.  Vast numbers of
indigent petty noblemen filled the ranks of a military caste of proportions unequelled in Europe.


But their contempt for state service, their preoccupation with private wars and vendettas, their obsession with cavalry to
the detriment of all other branches of warfare (infantry, artillery and engineers), and their opposition to the idea of raising an
'ignoble army' of peasant conscripts, put them at a marked disadvantage in relation to all their neighbours. ... From 1765 to
1831, constant attempts were made to develop Polish military potential to a level commensurate with that of the neighbouring
countries.The Napoleonic episode initiated three decades of strong French influence."The Polish land forces has developed
along parallel lines to those of the evolution of western european armies, although local conditions, produced certain
deviations and left their own mark on tactics, uniform and weapons.

The best part of Polish army was the cavalry. There was a saying that if the sky fell their lances would support it. On 26
September 1660 at Kutyszcze, 140 Polish winged hussars defeated 1,600-3,500 Russians and Cossacks. (Ratio of 1 to 11!) The
enemy was under Vasyl Sheremetev and consisted of fine regiment of reiter cavalry (armored, mounted on strong horses)  and
regiment of Cossack infantry. The Russians delivered several salvos. It however made no impression on the Poles. The winged
hussars charged and oberthrew everything on their way.

         



Napoleonic Wars, Vistula Legion 1806-1814
"Napoleon stated that the infantry [of the Vistula Legion]
were to be treated on a par with French line regiments."
- George Nafziger






When it comes to Poles of the Napoleonic era, consider how hard a proud
people fight when they have no homeland of their own, and they feel that
following one man, Napoleon, is their best chance to get one.
          By 1806 what was left of Dabowski's Polish Legions in Italy and Kniaziewicz's Danube Legion was one infantry regiment and
one cavalry regiment. "In February 1807 these remnants became part of the French army and were sent to Silesia. These Polish
veterans became the core of a new Polish Legion ... and were initially called the Polish-Italian Legion (Italian since they had
fought in Italy, not because the unit had Italians in it).Napoleon's decree of 1807 stated this Legion should consist of three
infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. ... In June, the formation took part in the siege of Klodzko. From Silesia the
Legion moved to service in Westphalia in October 1807 ... On 21 February 1808, Napoleon ordered the Legion to Poitiers in
France, where it was formally inducted into the French army.In a letter to Davout dated 31 March 1808, Napoleon renamed the
Polish-Italian Legion (Polacco-Italienne) the "Vistula Legion." He also stated that the infantry were to be treated on a par with
French line regiments ... The depot for the Legion appears to have been Sedan. ... It should also be noted that French nationals
were not permitted to serve in the Legion, except as the company clerks (fourriers), battalion adjutant non-commissioned
officers, and as paymasters.

After the battle of Wagram (1809), Napoleon found that he was once again in possession of a large number of ethnic Poles
amongst his Austrian prisoners of war. The Decree of 8 July, 1809, directed that these men were to form a 2nd Vistula Legion.
The 2nd Vistula Legion never was able to form completely, so it was disbanded by the Decrees of 12/15 February, 1810. It was
incorporated into the 1st Vistula Legion as a 4th Regiment. The Vistula Legion was sent to Spain where it fought in the sieges
of Saragossa and Segunto. In fact, the Vistula Legion seemed particularly destined to participate in sieges, and it fought in all
of the major sieges in eastern Spain during the early years of the Peninsular War. ... In preparation for the invasion of Russia
the Vistula Legion was withdrawn from Spain in early 1812


On 2 April 1812, Napoleon decided to include the Poles in the Young Guard corps under Marshal Mortier rather than
designating them as Guard. The third battalions were formed, but on 31 May, after reviewing them in Posen, Napoleon directed
that they not form elite companies, feeling their soldiers were too young. However, they would follow the main army as far as
Smolensk and Gjatsk, joining the main body only during the retreat in the beginning of November. ... The 4th Regiment was still
in Spain while the other regiments went to Russia. ... These men had fought bravely at Smolensk, Borodino, Tarutino, Krasnoe
and at the Berezina Crossing. " (Nafziger - "Poles and Saxons of the Napoleonic Wars")

General Joseph Chlopicki (born March 14, 1771 – died September 30, 1854) commanded the infantry of Vistula Legion between
June 1808 and 1812. (Earlier it was under General Grabinski.) He was one of the toughest Polish infantry generals of Napoleonic
wars. Chlopicki was awarded by the French with Legion of Honour for the battle of Epila and the storming of Saragossa. In 1809
he was promoted to the rank of general de brigade. During the invasion of Russia in 1812, Chlopicki was wounded at Smolensk.
In 1813 he was made a general de division. He held aloof at first from the November Uprising of 1830-31 (war with Russia), but
at the general request of his countrymen accepted the post of commander in chief of Polish army.

Community / A wee rant to NA event hosters
« on: March 12, 2022, 06:55:03 pm »
Before you all start squealing and stomping on your keyboards in the comments, yes, I know the game is new and an abundance of time will be required to work these things out in the long run. However, I feel there are serious issues with the way NA events are being administered at the moment. The primary issue here is map choice. Every event I have been to, no matter how big or small, always selects the largest maps available.

These maps were made with 500+ players in mind, not 300 or less. The linebattles, as they currently stand, thus end up being camping affairs where neither team actively seeks out combat, rather they choose to camp their side of the map and try to get 150+ metre pot shots. Not only is this boring and negative gameplay, this kind of "action" lasts for the better part of 10-15 minutes before an all charge is even given. By that point, in a lot of cases, there are still northwards of 50-60+ people alive on either team. This type of gameplay isn't enjoyable for anyone. Unless you're in a unit that seeks to achieve historical accuracy, your everyday player is not going to find enjoyment with running around and shooting at targets they can barely see for half the event. Such long rounds with minimal action also is not going to encourage new players to continue attending events, especially if you're killed at the beginning of the round and have to wait 20 minutes until you can play again.

This type of gameplay was widely accepted back in the 2012-2014 era of NW, but that time is long past. For years now, players have been accustomed to short, concise battle rounds to keep linebattles swift and action-packed. There is definitely a time and place for the old style of linebattle, but not the everyday event. I have noticed that the EU community has answered many of these problems, and I would love to see some of these elements incorporated into our own events. Firstly, smaller maps sizes. As in, smaller than you think is actually fitting for the number of players. This forces units to engage and does not give them the option to camp their spawn for 20 minutes. It also encourages melee charges, reducing the need for an all charge to begin with. Another thing I have noticed is the experimentation with multiple game modes within a single event. Especially those that allow for respawning. There are many NA events that claim to be "half siege/half linebattle," but in actuality is more like 3/4 siege and 1/4 linebattle. Plus, 3 different siege events in a week is not necessary and gets repetitive. Many people do not like siege as it's very disorganised and laggy. Most siege events I've personally attended were no different from the public siege server. No lines, no order, just chaos. I think an event that has, for example, a round of conquest, a linebattle round or two, maybe a historical-based round, etc. is something that would work well in this game. With the accuracy of the rifles, it will be difficult to 100% copy NW-style linebattles.

The point of this rant isn't to call people out and to cause drama, it's merely to offer feedback. The way we conduct our events now will inevitably influence the success of this game. If we fuck up now, there won't be a BCoF in a year's time and none of us want that. I just know from personal experience, no one in my regiment has been satisfied by the NA events so far and I've talked to a lot of other people and they agree as well. I have found myself enjoying EU events far more than NA, and I think we could learn a thing or two so that we can keep this game alive and not have to run back to the 10 year old decaying carcass of NW with our tails between our legs.

Edit: Added some breaks in there for the special snowflakes out there that have the attention span of the common gamer.

A Song of Bydand and Donations - Jorv R.R. Vasker

All of you oldies should remember this beauty...

Chapter 1:

   
Spoiler
In the year of our lord, 1855, A young procrastinator, of only 16, named James Stewart, or "Tavington" as his friends called him, was attending his last year of military school in London, England.
 He was quite short for a boy of his age. His face was very stern, and seemed to have never seen the least bit of enjoyment. His hair was an oily blonde colour in which he had inheriated
from his mother, a whore from France, that had migrated to England at only the age of 10. His father, Murphy Stewart, was a successful banker that worked for the Royal Court.
He provided everything that his family could ever wish for, except happiness. James was a saucy boy, his attitude was very negative, he always loved to be-little and boss people
around, making him an instant favourite to all of his officers at his school, in which gave him the grand opprotunity of training the new cadets.
   "What the fuck do you think you are doing!", screamed James at a new cadet that was messing up his drill. "S-s-s-sorry Tavington, I-I-I-I mean Mr. Stewart, I am a very clumsy
person, p-p-please forgive me", said Lister Bashnell in a very frightened and cracky voice. "I don't care how clumsy you are, you mentally inept inebriate, do go around cocking my
line up!" They continuted their drilling thoughout the toiling heat of the day, wiping sweat from their brow as fast as their body could produce it.
Cadet after cadet was humiliated by James and his drilling partner Ragni, being called "A useless waste of human existence" sometimes or being insulted for their nationality,
he really showed them he was not a boy to be messed with. Then came melee practice. James was renowned for his amazing abilities with the bayonet and he sure knew how to teach it,
some say he was born with a bayonet in the place of a cock, but that is only a silly tale. Each cadet was equipted a wooden musket with attached bayonet and they simulated battle charges
for hours on end. "This melee is absolutey apauling guys! Stick together, no silly deaths, and for godsakes Bashy come on! You useless shits kill something!", shouted James in a screaching yell. One thing
was for sure, and that was James wouldn't stop yelling until his "Plebians" got everything right. After a long hard day of running and stabbing, James invited Ragni and a few other of the trainees
out to some drinks on him, obviously using his fathers money, at a local tavern called "the Flying Squrriel", in which soldiers at the school frequented on the weekends and days that they had off. James goes back to his
quarters to freshen up before their night out in hopes of finding some fit ladies to bed. one of the older veterans of the school enters the room. "Where are ye' goin'
ye'dirty slut.", said Peter Broetz in a slurred speach, he had obviously already had a few drinks, "How dare you question me you fucking piece of Welsh scum, where the bloody hell do
think I would be going on a night like this you fucking retard, didn't they at least teach you simple logic in your failure of an education system in your shit-hole of a country. I am
going to the tavern with Ragni and some others, and no, you can't come", said James in his usual cruel and unwielding voice.
   Stumbling back to his quarters after a night full of drinks and love making, James, enters the room to find Peter thrown out on his bunk. James liked Peter quite a bit
when training, only because then did Peter have to do what he said, but back in the quarters James couldn't stand him. He always back talked him and did thinks to drive him
absolutely crazy. "Get up you Welsh degenerate!", he screamed. Peter then suddenly awoke, with a drop of saliva dripping out of his mouth, "You wot mate, yu having a giggle cus I feel asleep in ye bed?", said Peter in that same slurrish voice. James
took off his gloves and smacking Peter with them multiple times to face until a trickle of blood, as red as a newly bloomed rose, dripped down from his mouth."How do you like that, you slimy cunt. Get out of my bunk!"
"A'ight A'ight, yu got me, I'll piss off then, but next time ye ask me fer somfin' you ain't gettin' it." Peter then slugged himself from Jame's bunk to his own unorganized and sticky bunk.
   The next day was no better, James got up and sounded the trumpets telling all the cadets to awaken and get ready for morning drill. Peter was hungover and couldn't hardly
stand on his own two feet, and Bashy was still as bad as the prior day, having to be corrected and humiliated with almost every order he recieved. After training was over, James went alone to the Flying Squrriel to have a drink.
"I'll have some scoth, my good man", he said in a polite tone to to the bartender, a very plump man with cherry red cheeks and a very small mustache. "Right away, sir!" In stepped one they called Frithbiscuit, he was one of the main officials over the school.
James despised him with all the passion he could muster. Frith always allowed equal rights to all the minorites that attended the school. James couldn't stand minorities having the same chances in life
as true englishmen, so they often got into heated arguements whenever James would treat a minority worse than he would just a normal englishmen. "Why hello James, fancy seeing you here", Said Frith, in his booming deep voice.
"Hello sir, fancy joining me to have a drink?", James said in a very fake nice tone. "Why sure, I have a matter I must speak to you about anyways. My good man! I would like some brandy!", "Right away, sir!"
"So, what is this matter you speak of?", said James. "Well, do you know those two Jewish fellows that recently enlisted in the school?", "Yes, Teddy and Ledge I do think their names are", said James.
"Well, I am getting complaints of you not treating them properly, and you saying that they 'have no rights in this world', is this true?", said Frith in an evermore flustering voice. "Frith, you mean that I have to let those degenerate
Jews think they have the same rights as you and I? That is a absurd to hear such a think, I will not show those inept cunts a single ounce of respect as long as I am alive.", said James in a yell, the whole tavern fell silent and looked at him.
"Sir, we run a professional military establishment, we train England's best, we can't have drill leaders being prejudice against races, I am fine if you don't like them, but I beg you please do not let me hear of this again or you may just
lose your rank and go back into the normal ranks." James' face turn bright read and he takes his glass and slams it into the ground, shattering it into thousands of little peices.
"Are you deaf! I told you clear as day you fucking cunt, I will not treat these scum any better just because of your 'threats', I am your best drill and melee instructor and you know this
you wouldn't dare demote me. It's either me or those dirty filth!" Frith started to break sweat, he was not a man to get angry much, but this had brought him to his breaking point. "How dare you insult me! I am your commander. I am not one
to sit around and be humiliated like you do your poor cadets! I have the right mind to just kick you out of our school for that, but you are correct and I can't run this cadet program without you. Leave this tavern right now, I don't want
to see you telling a single person what do do for 2 full weeks, Ragni will deal with the cadets, all I know is if I see you even near the training ground you are out! Now be gone from my presence!" James was furious, he was never talked to like that
he picked up his chair and threw it at the wall and stormed out of the building, screaming at people in the streets and kicked anything over that he could put into sight. "How dare that fucking inept cunt talk to me that way, I am James Stewart", he
said to himself as he was opening the door to his quarters. "You, Welsh scum, out! I am not going to deal with you today. Find a new place to stay for the next few weeks.", he sreamed. "Wait wot is yur deal, I have not done a single thing!', said Peter in
a confused voice. "Don't question me you cunt, leave!"
   The next two weeks were hard on James, he barely left his quarters, he didn't know what to do with himself. He couldn't stand not being able to command people around, he didn't know what it felt like, until now.
After he was back in command of his cadets, things went back to normal and the relationship between him and Frith was never the same. The cadets had improved and less yelling had to be done.
   


   It was two weekS until graduation, and things around the school were a mess. James did everything he could do get these "shits" ready so they could all get out of there and he could be appointed to lead his first regiment, in which
he had been promised if he did a year and a half of this cadet drilling program. Everyday for for 6-8 hours, James would drill them harder than he has ever done it before, he even hit some of them to make sure they knew who was still in command.
Other than the constant screams and insults that could be heard from the drilling yard, things were wrather peaceful involving James. He didn't get in an fights or arguments, and he even treated Peter with more respect, mainly just because
he was counting down the days until he could travel away from this place and finally get to lead his own regiment, a dream of his since he had been a wee lad
   James unexpectedly invites his whole company out the the meeting all at half past 10 at night to have a special meeting that no one but James himself knew anything about.
"Guess what day it is ladies! It is the day before all of you pass this school and move on into the army and kill the French cowards! Now, I know I have been tough on you cunts, but there is an nice side of me believe it or not, and I would like
to point out Lister Bashnell for his extrodianary improvement over the past few weeks, I am very proud of you. Now the reason I all called you to this little meeting here, is that all of you know I am going to be leaving here in todays and will
be tranfering to York where I will be starting up my first regiment, The 1st Royal Lifeguards, I have been commissioned by the parliment themselves to lead this unit, there are a few of you Plebians I want to come along with me on this amazing
journey. I will list off your names and I want you to come up here and stand next to me. Lister Bashnell, Alexander Stewart, David Stewart, Fillian MacFarlan, Alexander Munro, James Watson, Robert Deans, and Hector MacKay. All of you have
shown outstanding preformance lately and would be honoured to have all of you in my unit, as for the rest of you cunts you just didn't make the cut, it is either you are just too fucking bad or that I just really don't like you."
   It was the day of graduation, hundreds of cadets gathered in the main meeting square all in their ordiant uniforms in a bright red with a black cap that was half a foot tall. All of the officers of the school got up on the stage and spoke about
how big of an achievement it was to graduate from the school, and wished them all the luck in the world in which ever regiment they decided to join. It was James' turn to deliver his speach, as was custom for the leader of the cadets. "Hello fellow soldiers,
it has been a magnificent honour to traing along side you, and teach others. For 5 years I have been at this school, and I must say that it has been the best times of my life. Due to this school, I was commissioned by Parliment to raise a new regiment they are planning
, The 1st Royal Lifeguards, It has always been a dream of mine, everything is possible and the officers and soldiers of this school are here to prove that it is. I would personally like to thank all of my cadets for letting me train you, although most of you are still
mentally inept degenerate cunts, most of you did alright and for that I am pround. Cheers to another sucessful 2 years!" Thus ending his speach. "I don't give a fuck about any of those words I said, they can all get blown up by a cannon for all I fucking care", said James to Ragni
as he took his seat, both laughing. Frith got up and gave his goodbye speach and officially ended the training season.
   As James walked out of the school to go to the Flying Squrriel for a final visit for a long time, he sees his mother and his father. His mather, as always, was dressed in a very sluttish manner, yet his father was always dressed nicely in a suit made of the finest cloth
money could buy, "James, my son, you don't believe how pround I am of you", said Murphy. "I have a gift for you." So they both walked back to their wagon and there it was, the most magnificent horse James has ever laid his eyes on. She was a dark brown colour with crystal blue eyes.
"Father! She is amazing! Thank you so much." James screamed in a very joyous manner. "I shall name her...Biscuit!", said. So, he went to the Flying Squirriel and drank all evening long and went back to his quarters for one final time to collect his the last of this things. He slept good that night,
the best he has slept in years, and went he awoke early that morning he cursed out Peter one last time, and mustered his selected men for one last round up and did a roll call. They all mounted their horses and lined up at the gate. "Alright ladies, this is what we have trained for, and what we have been waiting our whole lives for."
Within seconds James kicked his horse into a small walk and then into a fast gallop with his men behind him making a huge dust cloud in their trail. They were on their way to York!

« on: January 09, 2016, 06:04:22 am »
I noticed there wasn't a thread about this, so I thought I would make one.

I have been trying out the whole vegetarian thing out for the past few months, and have been exploring it's benefits and other qualities.

I am just curious on if any of you are vegetarians/have ever tried it, and what your thoughts about it are.

Now, I know this might be hard for some of you, but I would like to try to keep this troll and general shit-post free. If a discussion is started, I would rather keep it that way.

This thread is for the open discussion of our opinions on the United States, so people can have a nice clean debate about it.

Please follow the forum rules, because I don't want this taken down :3

My personal opinion, as a United States citizen, is that the United States is an absolute horrible country in so many ways. I will debate more about it as more people get involved. ;3
