Virginia Military Institute Cadet Force [VMI]

[Kammin]

Virginia Military Institute

The VMI is a regiment based on the confederate cadets that gave their strength throughout the civil war, from Stonewall Jackson's brigade to the battle of New Market. The regiment is an EU and NA regiment with events twice a week, concentrating on improving our performance after each battle and making ourselves famous from heroic deeds.

The Battle of New Market 

On 15 May 1864, the VMI Corps of Cadets fought as an independent unit at the Battle of New Market.VMI suffered fifty-two casualties with ten cadets killed. The cadets were led into battle by the Commandant of Cadets and future VMI Superintendent Colonel Scott Shipp. Shipp was also wounded during the battle. Six of the ten fallen cadets are buried on VMI grounds behind the statue "Virginia Mourning Her Dead" by sculptor Moses Ezekiel, a VMI graduate who was also wounded in the Battle of New Market.
General John C. Breckinridge, the commanding Southern general, held the cadets in reserve and did not use them until Union troops broke through the Confederate lines. Upon seeing the tide of battle turning in favor of the Union forces, Breckinridge stated, "Put the boys in...and may God forgive me for the order." The VMI cadets held the line and eventually pushed forward, capturing a Union artillery emplacement, securing victory for the Confederates. The Union troops were withdrawn and Confederate troops under General Breckinridge held the Shenandoah Valley.

I for one would love to see the VMI return, you guys were great fun even if you didn't always have the best position. Come back and basque in the fun again guys! So many more events to come to and they have gotten much bigger!

[Bravescot]

Plus the VMI are one of the units on the up coming 1.0 update.

[Kammin]

Might do, I'll ask the chaps.

[Napoleon23]

If you do make a comeback let me know. You can join the community I am in, and have a lot of fun!

If you are having trouble getting enough people interested then you can merge with my regiment until you get a good amount of members.
