5th "The Condemned" Regiment of Foot [EU]

[Col_FrenchMonk]

This Regiment is set up by The French Monk to attend events in Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars, Battle Cry of Freedom & Bannerlord. * * * Our Regiment has quite a bit of history behind it. It was made in 2015 by The Belgian Monk. For most of our time, we've been a part of the renowned Les Gardes Suisses Brigade as the Suissse 5e until the brigade came to its end in early 2020. We briefly defected to join the Royalists cause with the Royal French Battalion but eventually decided to continue on our own instead. In July 2021 we joined the Royal Guards brigade. We have since remained a part of this community. We focus mainly on the Napoleonic Wars but that does not mean we don't play native Warband events! We are looking for players to help us grow and to make a name for ourselves. Should you be interested in joining us, please contact TheFrenchMonk on Steam!

"The infantry is the best portion of the British army..." - French General Maximilien S. Foy

French General Foy writes: "The infantry is the best portion of the British army. The infantry, when in active service, is distributed into brigades of 2, 3 and even 4 regiments, according to the number and strength of the battalions. The grenadiers are not distinguished among the other soldiers for the eclat and pre-eminence so striking in the French and Hungarian grenadiers; and it is not customary to unite them into separate corps, in order to attempt bold strokes. The light companies of different regiments are sometimes formed into provisional battalions, - a practice directly in opposition to the purpose for which that species of troops was originally intended. Several regiments of the line, such as the 43rd, the 51st, the 52nd etc., are called light infantry regiments. These corps, as well as the light companies of the battalions, have nothing light about them but the name; for they are armed and with some slight change in the decorations, clothed like the rest of the infantry.

It was considered that the English soldier did not have sufficient intelligence and address to combine with the regular duty of the line the service of inspiration of the sharpshooter. When the necessity of a specialist light infantry began to be felt, the best marksmen of different corps were at first selected; but it was afterwards found expedient to devote exclusively to the office of sharpshooters the 8 battalions of the 60th, the 3 of the 95th Rifles, and some of the foreign corps. The English, the Scotch, and the Irish are usually mixed together in the regiments. Ireland supplies more soldiers, in proportion to its population, than the other two kingdoms. The English infantry does not hesitate to charge with the bayonet; the leader, however, who would wish to employ British infantry to advantage, should move it seldom and cautiously, and reckon more upon its fire than its manoeuvres." In March 1806 the strength of the British infantry was approx. 160,000 men.

Yeah, there's quite a few "5e regiments" out there, not all on the application list. We're not the guys you mentioned.
We were once part of the Suisse Brigade from 2017-2020 as the 5e Régiment D'Infanterie Suisse.
I did not find the regiment you mentioned on the application list here but I did find them indeed on the French forum as '5e Regiment D'Infanterie De Ligne'.

Knowing that, I did not see an english version of our name on the regiment application list:
'5th Regiment of Foot (The Condamned)' or '5th "The Condamned" Line Infantry Regiment'.

Do you think changing to one of these names would be better?
Thanks for the heads up!

[Harford]

well im not moderator and whatnot but i haven't seen any 5th, line/regiment of foot so i'd say yes go ahead should be fine!
gl with it

[Scottish Unicorn]

GL!

Please upload all linebattles to YouTube ty!!!!

[Tardet]

If you don't mind keeping the 5th name, that'd be clearer yeah, there is indeed a 5e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne currently active (as Harford just mentioned, they played the last season of the RGL).

Either way, good luck!
