| 5th June 2022 | 19:00 - 20:00BST | In celebration of our 10 year anniversary the 33rd will be hosting another large scale event, as has become tradition for our anniversary and we will be basing the event upon the iconic battle of Waterloo. We will be hosting approximately 3 servers, aiming to accommodate between 500-600 people for an event lasting around an hour. Our event will hopefully capitalise on many of the improvements we made last year, whilst also including the relatively newfound flag-spawning gamemode which has become so popular amongst the wider community. The 92nd have graciously offered to administrate one of the servers, as they do in our jointly hosted regular Sunday Event. The concept of the event is to have each of the three servers focusing on a different portion of the battlefield; the flag-spawning gamemode will be used the majority of the time, with slight variations of each map which will lean towards either defending the farmhouses in each sector or the areas surrounding them. As before there will be more specific RP rounds occurring half way through and at the end of the event to break things up and give some narrative. Initial balancing across the servers and assigning of classes will be performed by us as hosts, since the flag-spawning mode requires each regiment to occupy one unit each. Communication and server swapping to affect round outcome will be possible but care must be taken to only occupy free class slots when moving servers, a groupchat for each faction will be available for this purpose so that regiments on the same team can request support from others. Regiments will generally be accepted on a first come first served basis, special classes however will be distributed evenly amongst those who have requested them when we are full. | The Event at a glance | |

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49414713013_b5fde7f042_o.png) The two factions will initially be distributed on this thread, swapping as they wish once we start. As such round and mode changes will be swift with no balancing required to be carried out by the admin.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49414713013_b5fde7f042_o.png) Map Selection for each server will consist of 2 specific maps to that server, plus two RP round maps to be used half way through the event and at the end.

Play will then continue with the Battle/Siege back and forth until approximately 19:50, when all parts of the British line (all servers) pull back and form square, to receive Ney's Cavalry Charge.
