The 1st East Prussian Grenadier Battalion is recruiting mature players to participate in our epic engagements with other Regiments. Our goal is to give our members awesome experiences during our events and training's that they will cherish for a very long time. We strive to be a disciplined regiment. This of course will not get in the way of having fun but we will need to maintain a moderate silence among rankers during battles. A higher degree of discipline will lead to a more enjoyable training's which will lead to a increase in skill and performance in the field. We are made up of Gentlemen that respect the players in the community, especially their officers and the staff. We pride our self on being mature, organized, and skilled! We feel honored to accept any new members that are dedicated to work hard and fight with us on the field!
Code of Conduct Loyalty Being dedicated and putting time into the regiment is one of the best ways to get promoted. Along with continuously improving your skill, loyalty to the EPG will be greatly rewarded, and earn the respect of others
Orders Everyone is expected to follow orders to the dot and listen to those who are leading. This means no talking over the leader, playing your best, and paying attention. Paying attention to orders is critical to success.
Activity Being active in the EPG is very important. What is the point of being in a regiment if you do not attend any events? Members are expected to attend atleast two events per week. Of course, if one cannot attend because of real life issues then just simply notify an officer or NCO.
Maturity One is expected to carry themselves to a high degree of maturity. Yes, it is a game but conducting yourself in a positive manner is essential.
How to Join the Grenadiers
We ask that all players that are interested in joining the EPG add [EPG] Damien / [EPG] Munch on steam for the introduction process. After applying for the regiment, an officer will either accept or deny the application. If accepted there will be further instructions on how to get involved with us. Once accepted, the applicant will go through an interview before being accepted and begin their journey with the EPG. The applicant will receive the rank of Rekrut and go through all the task of being a regiment member!
| | History of the 1st East Prussian Grenadiers In 1806 there were as many as 27 grenadier battalions, in 1812-1815 only six. The grenadiers were men selected for their height and strength and were formed in 400-600 men strong battalions. In 1813 the grenadier battalions were distributed among infantry brigades in various army corps. For example at Leipzig two battalions were in Advance Guard, two in 1st Brigade, one in 3rd Brigade etc. In 1814 four grenadier battalions were put together and formed one brigade under Hiller. It was probably the best infantry brigade the Prussians had in that year.
The Prussian grenadiers were not a precious elite kept in reserves and out of harm's way. They participated in numerous combats, especially those units attached to the advance guard. Two grenadier battalions participated in as many as 20-30 combats (!), the remaining four in 12-15 combats on average. In 1815 the two best battalions (see below) became part of the 1st Grenadier Regiment (1. Grenadier-Regiment-Kaiser-Alexander). The third battalion of this regiment had 15 combats.
Their Battle Honors include: 1806-1807 - Thorn, Pr. Eylau, Friedland, Allenau, Bartenstein, Heilsberg, Gollau and Königsberg, 1813 - Groß-Görschen, Lausigk, Kolditz, Bautzen, Reichenbach, Katzbach, Hochkirch, Wartenburg, Möckern, Freiburg, Hörselberg and blockade von Mainz, 1814 - Vitry, Montmirail, Château Thierry, Mery, Lizy, Gué à Trêmes, Laon, Trilport and Paris.
