INTRODUCTION


The 55th Illinois was founded in 2015 as a regiment for the North and South mod for Napoleonic Wars. Having served through many brigades throughout the years we are finally on the long awaited Battle Cry of Freedom! We are not an "overreaching" regiment as we will not reprimand for making the smallest mistake. Games should be about fun and that is what we are all here to do, have fun. We currently are in the Union Brigade and have been for quite some time now. Everyone is very chill and relaxed. During engagements we do prefer there to be a little bit more "professional" attitudes to ensure officers can get their words out, but again we are not strict about it. Attendance, while not mandatory at all, is highly encouraged. We do understand that everyone has their own lives they have to attend to.
