The King's German Legion has been one of the first Regiments in the linebattle / Napoleonic Wars community, and has ever since fought bravely in many battles. The roots of the Kings German Legion go far back and show 8 years of Linebattle and Napoleonic Wars experiance, starting back in the Half Life Mod Battlegrounds 2, over Mount&Musket and Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars. Now the King's men from Hannover have also found their way to Holdfast Update: we are holding off on Holdfast for now until it has matured a bit more.
Under the motto; "hard drill, high skill", the King's German Legion has made itself a name for it's outstanding discipline and order over the years. We are participating in high quality linebattle events and devote a great deal of effort to performing in a historically accurate way.
All men of the King's German Legion are to hold up these high standards of discipline and always act with honour and good conduct. Knowledge and skill are things to be learned, honed and perfected, but honour comes from within. As such, we have no skill requirements, but an effective training program designed to teach all the skills required, while serving as a honoured and valued soldier in His majesty's army.
| | Historically the King's German Legion consists of infantry, artillery and cavalry. On occasion we have already brought Light Infantry or Cavalry to the battlefield in the past, but remained with one existing battalion, the 5th Line Infantry. In September 2016 his majesty and the staff saw it fit to expand the existing structures of the Legion by opening a new cavalry detachement, the 1st Hussar Battalion. Newly formed it soon became a vital part of the whole regiment and had proven their value on the battlefield.
Our 5th Line Battalion of the King's German Legion has become well renowned for it's excellent discipline and fighting ability since the old days of Battlegrounds 2. While the 1st Hussars are a quite young cavalry battalion they show the same devotion towards discipline and skill as the infantry and has ever so fought bravely and faithfully against all enemies of the crown. Fighting for honour and glory of His majesty King George the third.
The newest addition towards the King's German Legion is the 2nd Light Battalion. Historicly these men were the bravest amongst the Light Infantry at the battle of Waterloo, defending the position of La Haye Sainte against the french, being completely outnumbered and lacking essential supplies. At the end of the battle only 40 men of the battalion survived but they fulfilled their task: they held La Haye Sainte against the french. In this huge footsteps the newly formed 2nd Light Battalion in Holdfast seeks to perform just as brave and honourable as these chosen men did by high skill, outstanding discipline and historical accuracy. Currently not in service
However, its not all about the line battles, the community within the regiment is an important part. Not only do we fight together on the battlefield against whoever dares to challenge the King's men from Hannover, we also play many different games together, just hang out in Teamspeak, have a chat and a jolly good time. And given our great infrastructure, we are also able to host additional game servers - should a particular game be very popular within the Regiment. |
