My Grandfather was a Lancaster Bomber pilot during WW2 and he flew sorties over Berlin and Dresden. A couple of years ago he told me his experiences. He told me that during a flight over Berlin they were attacked with Anti-Aircraft cannons. A shell exploded on the right side of the plane near the tail, the bomber could still fly however one of the Gunners was knocked from his post and fell out of the emergency exit(which the crew kept open in case they were hit and needed to get out of the bomber fast). The gunner was reported missing and nobody heard from him  untill his wife recieved a letter from him telling her that he was ok, that he had become a prisoner of war but was being treated well, in the letter he also apologised to the crew saying that he was sorry for leaving them and that he hoped he would not be charged with desertion. After the war my Grandfather came into contact with the gunner and they spoke about his experiances in a prisoner of war camp. He told my Grandfather that nobody could take him seriously when he told them of how he fell out of the plane.

I could see myself as a rifleman, not just because i think they are badass but because i don't think i would be a field-marshall

The Knights Of St.John (The Knights Templar)

A secret order of Elite soldiers who fought in the name of God, They were considered the Special Forces of the Crusades.As the heavily armoured knights on their warhorses would set out to charge at the enemy, in an attempt to break opposition lines. One of their most famous victories was in 1177 during the Battle of Montgisard, where some 500 Templar knights helped several thousand infantry to defeat Saladin's army of more than 26,000 soldiers.

15thKR Anglo-zulu saturday battle!!

hey guys the 15th King's rifles have just acquired a Zulu server and I am starting a new event it will be 9pm G.M.T on Saturdays.

The game will be set up as follows:

the game will consist of 4 rounds

approx. A regiment will be picked at random to be the Zulu for the first 2 rounds, the 15thKR will be the Zulu for the last 2 rounds.
The maps will be selected nearer the time and will be chosen based on size and popularity.

The Zulu team will have bots and the bot number will be set once i know who will be attending. the ratio of Zulu to British will be approximately 3 to 2.


The British team may consist of the following troops:
2 artillery field pieces with 6 men maximum
15 cav
and as much infantry as you want!

Zulu may only have 15 skirmishers
Rules

Hello!

I am the commander of a new regiment , the 15th King's Rifles, we are from the 15th regiment of foot from NW, we have a lot of members but not enough to make up a sufficeint line, we hope to join this event in the near future!

is there any chance of changing the start time of the battle because it is a far more convinient time for our members?

cheers for hosting the event!
