Hello! Here's another linebattle for you all - this one is now over three months old and active.


"Fiiiiiiine! I'll make the friggin' sign-up." ~Every Reg' Leader, ever.

[close]


Artillery  -  Separate from Artillery's Guard
"There ain't no party without the Art'y!" ~LBdr. Gorbsie
Spoiler
Minimum Attendance: 2 rankers; 1 Art'y train
Maximum Attendance: 10 rankers (13 absolute)

[1] Every Artillery Regiment may field a single sapper per Artillery Train; sappers do not count as rankers.

Special Rules
[1] All Art'y Guard must spawn as the Foot Guard class for their nation; anybody breaking this rules will be slain.
[close]

General Notes
[1] Yes, skirms can have sappers in this linebattle. A real "HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?!" moment, I know, but please bear with me. We believe that this approach could potentially render linebattles a lot more tactical and challenging for both sides. Skirms are so often rendered totally dependent on their lines, and while this does come with the title to some degree, we think that giving skirms this extra degree of flexibility will help team durability immensely. Keep in mind that both sides can use this.

[2] The "(# absolute)" value simply means "including Officers, Musicians, Standard Bearers, and Sappers". For example, if you sign up as Rifles and bring 17, then that is allowed, so long as only 15 of them spawn as rankers. The remainder must be non-rankers.

[3] If an All Charge is called to end a round, then nobody may FiC or RiC, regardless of unit. OA is still allowed.


Server Rules

[1] If one - just one - of your detachment is engaged in melee, then the entire detachment is considered to be "in charge", irrespective of whether you charged or were charged.
[2] With three or fewer players left alive in a detachment, the entire detachment is considered "in charge" until they either link up with another detachment, shelter at an Art'y position, or die. Note that this means that three players in the same detachment camping at their opponent's Art'y is a perfectly valid tactic, however three random players hanging around there would be rambo.
[3] Bonuses will be disabled if the number of players on the server exceeds 80. This is to help minimise lag.
[4] If the number of players on the server exceeds 190, then stray horses will be slain automatically by the server. Again, this is to help prevent and minimise lag.
[5] The Admin has final say.
[6] The teams will be considered unbalanced if the difference between the teams is greater than one Order of Magnitude below the number of people on the Team with the fewest players, to the nearest multiple of 10.

If you're finished reading [6] over and over again, then let me help: Take the Team with the fewest players (say it's 54 players); round it to the nearest multiple of 10 (i.e. 50); divide it by 10 (i.e. 5), and check the difference between the teams. If that difference (say it's a 4-player difference) is lower than or equal to your number, then the teams will be considered balanced by the admin. If the teams are unbalanced, then the admin will do his or her best to fix it, but, as is the terrible truth, balance cannot always be perfect.

   

Okay, okay, so you may have many questions, but just in case you don't and merely want to know the sign-up format, here it is.

Sign-up Format
Spoiler
Full Regiment Name: [E.g. 68th (Durham) Regiment of Light Foot]
Unit: [E.g. Lights]
Expected Total Attendance: [E.g. 9-13]
Regimental Rep' and Steam: [E.g. 68th (Lights) Col. Mysty ; https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042878811/]
Backup Rep' and Steam: [E.g. mowiegan ; https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198052080850/]

The 5 Ws and the cheeky H
Spoiler
Who: The 68th (Durham) Regiment of Light Foot, your humble hosts and friendly evil friendly badmins!
What: A linebattle, with a couple of unique rules and approaches.
Where: 68th_Monday_Linebattle
            Battle (though TDM before 18:50)
            Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars
            Steam
            The Interwebs
When: The Debut Linebattle will be on Monday, 18th April, 2016, 19:00 BST (UTC+1) and will continue weekly from then on.
Why: Because the King of the Hill event was a total failure and we're all tryign to forget about it. Because I'm an experienced admin, plus my Officers and I wanted to implement a few ideas into the standard linebattle. We'd be honoured if you'd be willing to join us in this endeavour.
How: Magic and magnets.
[close]



So, how to proceed? Well, if you make a sign-up, and it is accepted, then I shall add you onto Steam, and give you the details. Then just come onto the server by 18:55 at the latest, so we can start promptly.

I graciously accept your cavalry and your line! I can't accept your art'y straight away (we're full at the moment), however I'll talk to you on Steam, as I'm sure we could reach an arrangement ^^
