This thread is not supposed to look pretty, and it is not yet entirely functional. Consider it an active construction zone. The purpose of this thread is to compile together a lot of the stickied threads on this board that have minor purposes and to generally tidy up the board.

Purposes this will serve:
-Regiment List Approved by Napoleon
-Steam Contact Not yet approved by Carabino
-How to Improve Recruiting (Guide) Approved by Furrnox; not yet by Deofuta
-How to Make a Regiment (Guide) Not yet approved by ash.j
-How to Choose a Regiment (Guide) Approved by Althalus

Napoleon has agreed to manage the Regiment List/Leaders Contact portion of the thread. The rest should be static/doesn't need updates. This will reduce stickied threads from 7 to 3, while having the function of each still present. Through a table of contents, it will become a bit more intuitive and clean.

Checklist:
-Update British list 100%
-Update French list 20%
-Update Prussian list 0%
-Update Austrian list 0%
-Update Russian list 0%
-Combine threads 0% - Needs approval before I'll start this part

Regiments / 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
« on: February 21, 2014, 02:49:42 am »





Introduction



The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders is an active, fun-loving, semi-serious, semi-realism regiment predominately of North Americans. We seek variety in gameplay, via different types of events, different ways of conducting and going about them, independent and group gameplay in both public and private settings, inter-regiment based events, et cetera. Many of our members are veterans who have been playing for years, though we have and accept new players to the game franchise as well. We are mostly made up by the active remnants of the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders (2013) and the 33e Infanterie de Ligne (2012), though our current Napoleonic Wars counterpart is the 1tes Pommerches Infanterie-Regiment.

History



Background


The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was raised as an infantry regiment on 1st July 1881, amalgamated from the 91st Argll and 93rd Sutherland Highlander infantry regiments. The regiment consisted of sixteen battalions upon being raised; two regular battalions, two militia battalions, five territorial battalions, and an additional seven battalions were raised for the New Army.

Pre-Amalgamation


The Argyll and Sutherland regiments prior to 1881 were of varying background. The 91st Regiment of Foot (Princess Louise's Argyllshire)--which would become a nickname of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders--was formed in 1759, and then re-raised multiple times, in 1779, 1793, and in 1794 it was raised as the 98th (Argyllshire Highlanders) Regiment of Foot and redesignated two years later as the 91st (Argyllshire Highlanders) Regiment of Foot at Cape of Good Hope. The 91st then went on to serve in the Peninsular War, once from 1808-1809 and then once again 1812-1814. They took part in the Battle of Corunna, Walcheren Campaign, and the battles of Vittoria, Sorauren, Nivelle, Bayonne, and Toulouse. In 1915 they were positioned in Belgium as Napoleon fought the Coalition in Flanders. They were most distinguished during the Battle of Quatre Bras.The 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot was raised in 1759 as the 1st Sutherland Fencibles, again in 1779 by Countess Elizabeth of Sutherland as the 2nd Sutherland Fencibles, and again in 1793 as the 3rd Sutherland Fencibles by Lieutenant-Colonel William Wemyss, which would take various Belgium settlements and participate in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The regiment was recreated by Wemyss in 1799 upon the request of Countess Elizabeth, and served its earliest years as the in various garrisons. A notable Sutherland Highlander that served since the 3rd Fencibles, Serjeant Samuel Macdonald, was reported to be such a giant among men, that the Countess had donated an extra two shillings six pence a day to help properly sustain the giant's diet. The Serjeant had also reportedly began the regiment's tradition of keeping a pet deer. The 93rd had served in the Battle of New Orleans, where it greatly held out under heavy fire for an extended period of time, in which other regiments of the army were saved and retreated, before finally being pulled back themselves. Years later, in 1854, the 93rd was deployed in Crimea, where it would be renowned for its services in the Battle of Balaclava, where it had heroically routed the enemy cavalry charge with impressive volleys and unparalleled determination. There, the regiment would be given the nickname "Thin Red Line" by a reporter who was watching the battle from the hills. The nickname would be given to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, as well. In 1857, the 93rd was sent to India to suppress the local rebellion. There, with the assistance of the 4th Punjab Regiment, slaughtered over 2,000 Indian rebels in the Sikandar Bagh, earning the highlanders six Victoria Crosses.

Post-Amalgamation


Upon the United Kingdom's entry into World War I, the first and second battalions of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment was deployed to aide the fight against the German Empire. The regiment saw action and service in nearly seventy locations in France, Belgium, Egypt, Palestine, and Italy, among many others throughout Europe and North Africa. Among the 91st, 93rd, and the amalgamated Argyll-Sutherland Highlanders, the regiment(s) had received a whopping thirteen Victoria Cross medals to enlisted men, non-commissioned officers, and commanding officers alike between 1857 and 1918. An additional three Victoria Cross medals were awarded post-World War I.

After World War I, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders continued their service in both World War II and the Korean War. The regiment was amalgamated with other Scottish regiments of the British Army into the Royal Regiment of Scotland in 2006, which continues to remain in reserves of the British Infantry today.




Recruitment and Training



The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders are recruiting North Americans, as well as anyone who can attend the events and trainings, regardless of past experience and skill. It is expected that recruits--regardless of their past experiences--are to obediently attend and graduate from boot camp: a special training period for new inductees. Special positions will not be awarded to anyone for any reason other than direct ascension of the roster. It is expected of all recruits that they be interested, committed, and active, all to a minimum extent, or they will otherwise be removed from the regiment after a standing period of inactivity of two weeks without reporting it prior to the commanding and highest ranked officer directly. To those who are interested in being active and reliable will receive regular events of varying variety to enjoy, and eventual promotion through the ranks if commitment is clear and steady, and if said members are interested in advancing further. No one will be pressured into more responsibility where they do not want. Alternatively, roles such as Serjeant are limited to a select few, who are more committed, more desiring of minor leadership responsibilities, and more capable than other candidates.

History:



  The 16. Garde-Infanterie-Regiment von Lessbesitz was raised in 1914 by Albrecht Lutz von Lessbesitz, originally as a militia to defend the small town of Au during an uprising which lasted four months. While the revolt was in Au, the group was raised a few miles away, in the Der Betrunkene Schweine pub, merely minutes before it was burnt to the ground by the very same group. The revolt was suppressed within minutes upon the militia group arrived at Au--today, historians still struggle to find how the revolt was suppressed, as well as if the 16te Lessbesitz even existed in the first place. Emperor Wilhelm was pleased with Albrecht Lutz von Lessbesitz, and awarded him the rank of Oberstleutnant and command of the 16. Garde-Inanterie-Regiment von Lessbesitz.
  The Great War soon followed the 16te Lessbesitz formation. As the regiment was mustered, it served as reserves for the German army, near the boarder of Baden-Württemberg and France. It was finally deployed December 19, 1914 to fight France on its boarder. The regiment first saw combat with the 1st and 2nd companies. About 180 infantrymen, armed with Gewehr 88, fought in a skirmish with French soldiers on the border of Württemberg. Lead by Kapitan Alexander Kecht (first company) and Kapitan Charles Wertum (second company), the 16te surrounded the French just within two hours. While the French suffered a small loss of eighty-three killed, twenty-two wounded, and forty-five routed, the Germans had seventeen killed and twenty-four wounded.
  The first, second, and third companies held defense in Baden from the sixth of January to the third of February, and the fourth and fifth companies held reserves in Ulm from the fourth to the twenty-eighth of January. The remainder of the regiment was designated as reserves in Berlin from December of 1914 to February twenty-fifth of 1915. Companies 1-3 had captured six French scouting parties and snipers of the first company had forced three more to route.

  In late-1915, the 16te was reequipped with Gewehr 98 and Maschinengewehr 08. The first three companies were assigned five Maschinengewehr 08 each, and every infantryman of said companies were given the Gewehr 98. As Germany fought on in the Western Front, the 16te was sent (first-fifth companies) into France to reinforce various positions.
  Nineteen-sixteen was a year of suffering for Germany. In the battle of Verdun, both France and Germany took considerable losses during the ten month battle. In early June, the 16te arrived to the battlefield to participate the offensive on Fleury ridge. The deployed soldiers and two machine guns were to hold the area around the Fleury ravine upon the instance that French lines advanced far enough that German artillery would be hazardous.
  Upon the French assault on the ravine, the 16te held for thirteen hours before being called by General Schmidt von Knobelsdorf to pull back towards the rest of the German forces. What was likely an attempt to postpone the French advance at the cost of many German lives was actually an effective engagement between German and French soldiers, which stalled the French for approximately two to three hours after the 16te's retreat.
  The retreat from Verdun occurred for the 16te during the ceasefire between November and December. After taking brutal casualties from remaining French artillery and participating in various minor engagements while raiding abandoned trenches, the 16te was called to Berlin for an assessment. Two-hundred and twenty-three men returned, forty less than what was called for (most likely, those forty remained on the battlefield unaware of their unit's retreat). The battalion had suffered roughly three-hundred and fifty casualties during the Battle of Verdun. Ninety-three das Verwundetenabzeichen (Wound Badges) were given to the returned injured. One medic who had treated some of the 16te soldiers stated "It's shocking that these men lasted so long under their conditions, I would have expected them to have been far dead by now. Most at least, but most are surviving."
  For the battalion's efforts during the battle, over thirty Iron Crosses were awarded. For their time spent in the battle, the 16te had one of the highest medal counts of the battle.

Survivors of the 1st and 2nd companies soon after Verdun
  After the Treaty of Versailles, the regiment was disbanded. A company worth of men were stationed in Germany's reserves. Fifty-or-so veterans of the regiment had formed the Club of Veteran, a Gentleman's club in Munich, which had eventually faced a police intervention and was shut down in 1934. A veteran from the third company, Unteroffizier --- Schwartz, had reportedly gone insane sometime between the war ending and 1929, when he had murdered six cattle in farmland Hesse, and painting sections of wheat field with the entrails, spelling out "The Kaiser Killed Us". The local police had done their best efforts towards preventing the story from spreading, and succeeded. Another report told of a Soldat --- Hermann, who had been found painting a large painting of a seemingly endless farmland while in the streets of Berlin. When confronted by a bystander, he quickly poured alcohol on the canvas and lit the painting on fire, before screaming and running away. Civilians reported hearing a faint cry from him as he fled, which sounded something like "O' the o' day", but the man was thought of as simply a nut and investigation was never pursued.

So, what's your favorites? Who would have you liked to see fight each other? Nothing is restricted to armies, it can just be combat in general! Feel free to start discussions/topics.

I have multiple regiment threads from over the years that I find annoying to sift through. Is there a way for threads to be merged together with posts ordered chronologically? I hate looking for something from the 93rd, or from the RM, and have to find the thread and then look for whatever it is from there. Also, there's things like images and interesting assets that were collected on threads over time that I wouldn't want to lose if those threads were ever deleted.

Just curious, it's fine if not, it just means I have to dig through threads and save all the things I want to save before a mod deletes them.

Share what you want to, but realize this can help others who aren't so artistically talented. ;)

I'll start with dumping some French Victorian ribbons:

Here's some stuff I did a while back, I'll post some more bits and bobs later

Screw it, I'm feeling generous. Have some British ones, too!


Here's some TS icons, why not?

Off Topic / Movie/Film Discussion Thread (*always potential spoilers*)
« on: January 12, 2014, 03:05:14 am »
I've looked around a bit and couldn't find a thread quite like this, only ones about favorite movies and such. I thought we could use with a discussion thread for film in general, as we have a music thread.

My review on Inside Llewyn Davis
I just saw Inside Llewyn Davis, and I have to say, it was fantastic. There were low points, but they really tied in, I felt, with the main character's life and his self-awareness (or lack of) of where is life was taking him/where he was taking his life. There was great work done on the symbolism and representations of events throughout the movies with other things in the movie (and out of), such as the cat and Llewyn's life. The representations of legendary folk singers and characters in the movie were done very well, like with the sweater-quartet and the humble, folk-singing Private. Soundtrack was very great, and nothing at all felt out of place. Even the "Please Mr. Kennedy" scene worked extremely well. Every scene seemed to help sculpt who Llewyn Davis was, even in the most subtle of ways. As the movie went on, and you learn more about the character, you can see the connections between his life and his music. The movie hit every nail on the head with connecting Llewyn's perspective on music to the quality of his music.

Srs spoilers tiem
I was really, really satisfied with people's perspective on his music, as well as his own perspective on his music (and other performers' music) depending on his own perspective of what really... was... music, to him. As the movie goes on, and you see more people shooting down his music, you discover that he only was into performing music at that time for the career of it, not the artistic doing-it-because-it's-who-he-is part of it. When you begin making ties with the success of others around him and their passions with their work while they have careers and lives beyond simply music, you begin to notice Llewyn's failures and lack-of-success with his music while he sees himself as a serious musician and not someone who's playing because it brings them joy.

The final scene (or 2-3 depending) is actually an expansion on the opening, which wasn't so much a coincidental foreshadowing, but more of a preview of the ending. When he's beat up in the alley by a mysterious figure (who was the husband of the older woman he insulted the night before), and when he crawls to the opening of the alleyway to watch the figure leaving in the taxi, with Bob Dylan singing Fare Thee Well (I think it was, can't remember) in the background, I got shivers down my spine when Llewyn said his final line: "Au revoir". It wasn't just a sign-off to the audience, I thought, but more a goodbye to the life he had and struggled with. That said, when he preformed his very last song, there was so much more emotion and genuineness about it--he had a journey behind him that he could truly sing his heart out about, and while he sang his heart out and while the song really meant something to him, he performed much better.

The cat. A friend bought up that the cat had to mean something, and I immediately began thinking about it. I quickly came up with:
Ulysses/the nameless cat symbolized Llewyn's music career. From the start of the movie, he was persueing it, he wouldn't let it run off, and he feared it running off. When he opened the window to smoke and the cat jumped out, he panicked and ran outside to look for it. Unable to find it, the following scenes depicted him as a bit lost, searching for the cat and convincing others (and himself) that he had the cat--that he had his career. When he gets the cat, and the wrong cat at that, I thought that it symbolized him being convinced that he had control over his career and life, while really, he didn't. During his trip to Chicago, he had the wrong cat, and the entire drive he seemed very out of the loop. When he abandoned the cat in the car, I thought it was a sort of "giving up" representation. When he got to Chicago soon after, and played for the producer, you could really tell that the song itself meant a lot to him, but he hadn't sung and played it like it truly did. He felt lost. When he was rejected, he accepted it as if he knew what would happen. On his drive back with the person he hitched a ride with (who was sleeping, I'd say that's important), he hit the cat, and the cat staggered off. I saw that as a reflection of the previous scene rather than a foreshadowing of a later scene; he had hit his cat/career hard, and the cat/career had limped off. The man in the passenger's seat who remained sleeping the entire time, I thought, represented the people around him, unaware and uncaring for his career, perhaps because he cared about it so much himself that it was a bit arrogant of him. When the cat's name, Ulysses, was revealed, I wanted to get out of my seat in the theater and dance, because dat symbolism doe. Ulysses's journey was extremely similar to Llewyn's.

There's a lot more I want to say about Inside Llewyn Davis, but I think I said enough. I'd give it a 9/10, I think, especially after reflecting on it. Initially, I would have probably given it a 7, maybe 8.

If you like Cohen Brothers, just go see it now in theaters while you can (it's better with a theater with high quality surround sound). I drove 40-something minutes to see it, it was definitely worth it. I'll be watching this again, though I know some people don't think it has much re-watching value.

EDIT: I felt like the casting in this music was perfect, even down to the extras. Oscar Isaac was perfect for his part, for sure, and all the side characters were acted out very well by their respective actors/actresses.

Forum & Website / [Suggestion] Displaying ALL Union vs. ALL Confederacy
« on: December 31, 2013, 05:57:57 am »
I thought it would be nice if, from a single panel, everyone on the forum who chose "Union", everyone who chose "Confederacy", and everyone who chose "Neutral" in their forum profiles would be counted and put into numbers.

So it would say:

Union
Confederacy
Neutral
(List?)
(List?)
(List?)

Just an idea, I thought it would be neat.

Off Topic / Awesome Art Appreciation Athletics Association, Alright?
« on: December 03, 2013, 04:37:39 am »
This thread contains Mature Content so please abide by the below Rule Set!
1. The nudity rule is not as strict on this thread as the rest of the forum as certain pieces of art include nudity, but it definitely still is moderated and enforced--however, keep it minimal and do not post any directly pornographic material. If you post a piece that is for mature eyes, please be sure it is in a spoiler that is specially marked as mature content. Even if it is as simple as breasts, please note it as mature content as to abide forum rules and keep sensitive eyes pure and holy.
2. Always use spoilers when posting images that would be considered suggestive.

A place for appreciating fine art.

I very much enjoy art museums, and while I cannot go to them that often, and most of them in the ~15-20 mile radius I have already visited, some several times, visiting them makes quite the pass time. I mostly prefer anything that isn't necessarily 'modern', as in say, the past two decades.

I'll start with some of my favorite artists:

#1 - Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson


His attention to emotion in his work is what sold me. One painting, which I particularly appreciate for its raw emotion that makes your brow tense and your mouth gape at the very sight of the suffrage of its characters, has certain components that may be inappropriate for this forum, which is why I'm working on getting this thread tagged as potentially mature and excuse certain body parts as they appear in many works of amazing artwork that are not pornographic. Said painting can be found below.

French painter and pupil of Jacques-Louis David, who was part of the beginning of the Romantic movement by adding elements of eroticism through his paintings. Girodet is remembered for his precise and clear style and for his paintings of members of the Napoleonic family.

#2 Vincent Van Gogh


Yeah, yeah, kinda cliche. But Van Gogh's work has always impressed me, I think it was his clear brush strokes.

Dutch Post-Impressionist painter of Dutch origin whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, he died aged 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found). His work was then known to only a handful of people and appreciated by fewer still.

#3 Andy Warhol


The man whose work is seen as both art in its purest form as well as complete and utter garbage. He is a key reason why art is what it is today--he defined, for me at least, that art is simply what can be appreciated. It can be as simple as simplicity gets, but as long as it can be appreciated in the slightest, it is art.

American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist.
