 | What to expect The 2e Chasseurs are a unit founded on a core of veteran skirmishers from Napoleonic Wars with three main principles. 1) We are, above all, playing this game for fun and that is at the heart of this regiment. 2) We are determined to be the best in our class. 3) We are a community, therefore each member is expected to get along and make friends. The requirements to joining the Belgian Chasseurs are based around a player's merit, not their popularity or even their skills. Skills can be taught and discipline can be drilled, but being an enjoyable person to be around is up to you the player. If you are fortunate enough to join, you will find yourself with some of the best friends you could ask for. Attempting to cause drama among the other members will be dealt with swiftly and harshly, in other words, don't do it. The 2e Chasseurs share a friendship and comradery forged from over 2 years of battle. You are expected to show an aptitude for working in the field, but everybody is given the chance to prove themselves. You will be taught to shoot, fight in close quarters, maneuver the battlefield, and to make split second decisions that could save your life or your comrades. Joining Earning the right to join the pack will test your battlefield skills and your people skills. Applicants must impress their comrades if they wish to earn their place. Someone aspiring to join the 2e Chasseurs must first fill out an application, if the application is approved, then the applicant will go through a training period that can last as long as 2 weeks. Applicants will be judged based on their ability to communicate and work well with others, their willingness to learn, and their skills in the field - in addition, a candidate must display gallantry in the face of the enemy as a right of passage. At any time during your training period the regimental officer can accept your application or kick you out of the Chasseurs, they do not have to wait the full 2 weeks if they deem their decision fit. If you are denied, you may apply again if another member of the regiment is willing to vouch for you. If you graduate from training, then congratulations! You will be given your tags and accepted into the ranks as a Chasseur. From there, it is up to you to earn your rank through skill and bravery. |
| 2e Régiment de Chasseurs à Pied Belge The 2e was present throughout the entire war and earned itself a great deal of distinction, in several battles they proved they could stand and face the Germans - and more importantly, win. After the battle, the 2e Chasseurs joined up with the Belgian Field Army and took part in the brave defense that slowed the German advance and gave the Allies and advantage in the war. The 2e Chasseurs was a light infantry unit therefore their training was splendid and well suited to rapid maneuvers, traversing rough terrain, and difficult delaying action that the Belgians so successfully employed. The 2e Chasseurs were part of the 16th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Belgian Army. The victories of the 2e Chasseurs were not as famous as those of the 3rd Division defending Liege but they were equally important and the 2e Chasseurs won through quick and aggressive maneuvers, sweeping the Germans off the field. The 2e Chasseurs earned 4 citations for gallantry during the war and was awarded the Order of Leopold. The stiff and unexpected resistance of the Belgians took the Germans by surprise. The Germans took their revenge by burning down towns and villages and committing atrocities against the civilians. But at the end of the war it was the Belgians who had the last laugh when together with the Allies they plunged headlong into the fray and spearheaded the Germans, reclaiming their homeland. The 2e even went on to become an occupation unit in Germany when the war was over. The Belgians fought harder than anyone could have ever expected them to and in the end they won the most hard-fought and well earned victory coming out of the world's darkest war.

| Chasseurs Leloup In 1789 the Austrians knew they needed a stronger military presence in Belgium and the Emperor called for a new body of "Jägers" and command of this unit was given to Captain Jean Leloup, a Belgian by birth but loyal to the Austrian Emperor. He published a notice in the Spirit Gazettes calling upon young men familiar with firearms to contact the Captain Leloup in Brussels. The Chasseurs Leloup originally only consisted of a single company of 36 men commanded by Captain Leloup but as they earned more and more fame and distinction in combat, their ranks swelled with more and more young riflemen wanting to fight the French. The Chasseurs Leloup quickly grew in size up to 68 men in one company and in one year they grew to 3 companies and in two years they grew to 6 companies! The Chasseurs Leloup fought in Belgium, Germany, and Italy, earning distinction in each and every combat, fighting in over 20 battles and countless skirmishes. What the Chasseurs Leloup brought to battle was something the Allies had rarely seen, they brought skirmishers who could outperform their French counterparts. Every Chasseur was armed with a good rifle and clad in the grey uniform of Austrian Jägers. The Chasseurs Leloup were even contributed with the French decision to look into a rifle pattern to equip their skirmishers with because they simply could not keep up with units like the Chasseurs Leloup! Their name "The Wolf's Hunters" gave them a fantastic reputation, a reputation well-earned in batte. Ranks -1.

| 7de Bataljon Belgische Infanterie Regimental History The 7de was formed from the 2nd Infantry Regiment of Flanders (Belgian Legion) shortly after the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was granted its sovereignty in 1813. The battalion was made up of men from Belgium and even one man from Philadelphia, America! It was stationed in Ghent and therefore most of its men were Flemish however that does not mean there were no Walloons in the 7de. Much of the 7de was made up of former veterans of the French army, Commander Francois-Chretien Vandensande served in the famous French 112th Line Infantry Regiment, and was awarded with Légion d’Honneur for personally bravery at the Battle of Raab. Captain L’Olivier served in the French 7th Line Infantry Regiment as commander of grenadier company. Captain Nieuport served in the French 13th Tirailleur Regiment of Young Guard. Lieutenant Nieulandt served in the 1st Regiment of Honor Guard. Lieutenant Scheltens served in the famous Grenadiers of Old Guard. Even the American, Martinus Fox, had fought in the Portugese army in every campaign during the Peninsular War. Many men from the 7de earned battle honors for their bravery, many of them even received the Military Order Of William, the equivalent of the French Legion d'Honneur. And during the Battle of Quatre Bras, several members of the 7de saved the Prince of Orange from being captured by French chasseurs a cheval. Grateful to these men, the Prince tore a jewelled insignia from his coat and tossed it to them shouting "There my brave fellows! You have all deserved it!" With a cheer they fixed the insignia to their colors and carried on the fight. During the Battle of Waterloo, the 7de fought as part of the Bijlandt Brigade which was positioned at the center of the allied lines, near La Haye Sainte. The Bijlandt Brigade was the first to endure the French infantry attack of d'Erlon's Corps as they were the furthest deployed allied brigade. The Bijlandt Brigade - which was the smallest of the Allied Brigades in the center - was subjected to the largest column of French infantry which was the column of Donzelot's Division. Lieutenant Hope of the British 92nd Gordon Highlanders wrote "The Belgians were assailed with a terrible fury and returned the fire of the enemy for quite some time with great spirit." And Colonel Van Zuylen Van Nyevelt wrote "Having approach us to within 50 paces not a shot had been fired, but now the impatience of the soldiers could do no longer be restrained, and they greeted the enemy with a double row." The 7de and the rest of the Bijlandt Brigade fearlessly fought the French at a terrifyingly close distance of 25 meters apart. They were led personally by the Prince of Orange in several assaults and bayonet charges that actually pushed the French infantry back before the famous charge of the British heavy cavalry. And during the battle, the Bijlandt Brigade actually advanced forward and drove the French infantry back, pursuing them all the way to the bottom of the slope until they ran out of ammunition. This event happened well before Wellington's "General Advance" order. After the battle, the 7de was heavily under strength, it's victory had come at a cost. But they continued on the march to Paris, victors of Waterloo and brave men all.

| The Dutch Army at Quatre Bras and Waterloo The Bijlandt Brigade The Bijlandt Infantry Brigade fought hard at Waterloo, where units such as the 27th Jager Battalion and the 7th Line Battalion were heavily engaged by the French and were crucial in securing a victory at Waterloo. The 7th Line even saved the Prince of Orange from French Chasseurs-a-Cheval, earning many battle honors for their daring rescue. The Next day at Waterloo, the already exhausted and undersized brigade bore the assault of the largest French infantry column to attack the Allied center, the division of Donzelot. Despite the odds, the Bijlandt Brigade fought the French in an extended and effective firefight, halting the French advance and fighting fiercely to throw them back. The Bijlandt Brigade was deployed further ahead than any of the other Allied brigades and so was subject to the full weight of the French infantry and artillery. Seeing the lack of support on either side, the brigade withdrew to a position closer to their allies and carried on the fight. The Bijlandt brigade was lead personally by the Prince of Orange himself in several charges and counter-attacks which effectively pushed the French infantry back several times. At one point in the battle the Bijlandt Brigade advanced, pursuing the French all the way to the bottom of the famous ridge until they ran out of ammunition and had to withdraw. Chasse's Third Netherlands Division The Third Netherlands Infantry Division was kept out of the fighting for much of the battle because of Wellington's obvious mistrust of Chasse and the Dutch-Belgian troops as a whole. This is because many of the Dutch-Belgian soldiers were veterans of the French military and Chasse himself had faced off with Wellington many times in Spain. But when Wellington gave the order for the "General Advance" Chasse, who was known as "General Bayonet" by his fellow officers, seize the opportunity and bayonet charged the French Old Guard, completely breaking and routing them. British accounts claim that the Old Guard was already defeated by the time Chasse's division made its attack however the British brigades engaging the Old Guard had been shattered by their attack. With drums and fifes roaring the division attacked and sent the Old Guard fleeing. The Pride of the French Military was shattered by the Dutch-Belgians. Ghigny's Brigade Major-General Ghigny's Brigade of Light Cavalry, comprised of the 4th Dutch Light Dragoons and the 8th Belgian Hussars, is perhaps one of the most heavily engaged units of light cavalry of the entire Allied army. Throughout the battle, Ghigny acted on his own initiative to counter-charge and throw back several French cuirassier and lancer attacks. Each of these actions was a resounding success and in one engagement, the brigade counter-charged the French lancers who were slaughtering the retreating British Union Brigade. In the words of eye witnesses, the 8th Belgian Hussars (who comprised the front of the charge) fought with "insane gallantry." Tripp's Brigade Major-General Tripp's Brigade of Heavy Cavalry, comprised of the 1st (Dutch), 2nd (Belgian), and 3rd (Dutch) Carabinier regiments, was sent into action to counter-charge the French cuirassiers during Marshal Ney's massive cavalry attack. After the near complete annihilation of all British heavy cavalry brigades, Tripp's Brigade was the largest remaining force of Allied heavy cavalry. During Ney's cavalry attack, Major-General Tripp charged his brigade into the left flank of the French cuirassiers, utterly shattering them and majorly contributing to the destruction of the French cavalry attack. The 2nd Belgian Carabiniers were led personally by the Prince of Orange in a charge that routed and pursued the French cavalry off the field entirely. It was late in the battle and he rallied the tired cavalrymen by waving his sword and shouting "Come my comrades, let us put our sabers to these Frenchmen! The Victory is ours!" Merlen's Brigade Merlen's Light Cavalry Brigade, which was made up of the 5th Belgian Light Dragoons and the 6th Dutch Hussars, was not so heavily engaged at Waterloo, but in the days before Waterloo they had captured several French patrols and cavalry units during skirmishes at at the border. But because the British government had declared war on Napoleon and not on France, Wellington ordered that Merlen's Brigade release all of the men it had captured. The Prince of Orange grudgingly did so and sent Wellington a very politely worded letter. Making sure he clarified that the order to release the enemy prisoners had been Wellington's desire, not his own. |  Bijladnt's Brigade makes its stand  Chasse's Division on the Attack  Ghigny's Brigade charges the French  Belgian Carabiniers charge the French cuirassiers |
