So let’s just ignore someone like Maskman who knows next to nothing about leading and the capabilities of regiments performing well in a linebattle type of event.
To state that anyone on a “good day could beat the 77y/15thYR” is just a meme of its own, if that was the case why don't you beat the 77y or 15thYR then!?

ABOUT US


His most Britannic Majesty's 45th Regiment of foot was raised on the 26th March 2016 by Vegetarian.
It is a semi-serious competitive regiment that is English speaking and accepts all nationalities, Recruits
have to attend one Line-battle and one training before becoming an official member of the regiment,
so that you show you are dedicated enough to be active. The history of this regiment is as twisted and
long as an olive branch with our first Colonel Vegetarian forming the regiment in 2016. The regiment
changed hands multiple times until in 2017, Nova seized control of the regiment including both
companies with the help of notable officers and NCOs, namely Flibbit, Maskman and Flasheart in a
blood coup resulting in the disbandment of the Light Infantry. With the formation and dissolution of
several companies such as cavalry and artillery, a successful merge with Mitchell's 10th in 2020 has
guaranteed the 45th Nottinghamshire a place in the top five largest and best casual competitive
regiments within the NW scene. Ever since, for three years straight the regiment has stayed a steady
course towards great internal glory slowly becoming the power house it is today, a regiment with three
separate companies hosting daily events being able to field a total 50-60 players at any given point.

        The 45th Nottinghamshire is lead by Colonel Nova and boasts three detachments each with their own
events which Nova oversees and leads. The 45th Nottinghamshire is well-rooted both in the casual and
competitive scenes with the regiment hosting its own successful Thursday event as well as preforming
very well in many regimental tournaments and leagues such as RGL, GLBT, RMT and Kincaids 2v2. The
Regiment can be broken up into three separate detachments, The Centre Company is lead by Major
Maskman and Lieutenant Mitchell. The Lights company is lead by Lieutenant Jack and finally the
Grenadier company (Grens) lead by Ensign Jerome. For tournament and group fight matches only the
very best from each company will be selected for attendance, the Grenadiers making up the backbone
of the roster for competitive events.The regiment boasts an experienced cadre of NCOs who are
invaluable in keeping good order in the line, such as Company Sergeant Major Valley and Lefty (Grens
and Lights), Colour Serjeant Floris and Natty (Grens and Line), as well as many other junior NCOs
often leading their respective companies on the ground whilst the officers and Battalion staff, tend to
the regiment's administrative work. Special thanks to Flasheart, the most loved uncle of the regiment!





               




Our Goals in Napoleonic Wars

The 45thN will mainly focus on participating in weekly-based line battles and sieges. The Regiment
will mainly focus on improving their shooting and melee to compete in future 1v1s and 2v2s against
other regiments. The 45thN is a very competitive regiment. We came 2nd in the 2nd division of GLBT.
We do very often groupfighting events as well as tournaments. Trainings will also be organized
throughout the week to get our members to their peak performance in the game. On the other hand,
we will be jumping onto public servers to have a laugh and to enjoy ourselves, We want to accomplish
in Napoleonic Wars to become a fun mature regiment to keep the entertainment at its highest peak!
If you are interested in joining this regiment, please add one of our officers on Steam.

       
Recruit Guidebook

The individuals of the regiment are constantly cheerful when a new member joins in. We will willingly
welcome all those who show interest by joining the regiment. Once joined the regiment, Recruits are
expected to show great dedication and motivation towards the regiment as well as improving their
melee and shooting in-game. If you are active within 2 weeks, you will be promoted to Private and
from there, you will slowly but surely progress through the ranks whilst showing melee skills and
discipline. If you, however, encounter a problem within the regiment or your not to sure about
something, then do please contact one of the Commanding Officers or a Non-Commissioned Officer
as they will always be available at your disposal and would really want to help.





HISTORY - NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 45TH REGT OF FOOT



Early History

The history of The Sherwood Foresters goes back to 1741, when England was committed to War
against France in Europe and later in Asia and America. In this year a new Regiment was raised and
commanded by a Colonel Houghton. By 1745 the Regiment was in Gibraltar and under the command
of a Colonel Warburton, while two years later it was serving in Nova Scotia. In 1751 numerical titles
were introduced and the Regiment became the 45th. The aggressive actions of the French against
the English in Canada resulted in the 45th being called out on active service. It was one of the
regiments that won undying fame in storming and capturing from the French the Naval Arsenal of
Louisburg, a stronghold that had been heavily and extensively fortified.

The 45th Regiment served for twenty years in Canada, and for its gallantry at Louisburg was later
awarded the first of the long roll of battle honours that now adorn the Colours. Although not present
as a unit, the 45th was represented by its grenadier company in the British force that the gallant
Wolfe led up the St. Lawrence River to capture Quebec and thus seal the doom of French rule in
Canada.


The Regiment Returns Home

On returning home the Regiment served for some years in Ireland and when the American War Of
Independence broke out, was among the reinforcements sent to New York in 1776. It fought at Long
Island, Philadelphia, Brandywine, Germantown, and in other places, suffering losses but always
exhibiting a high degree of courage and fortitude. After the War, the 45th reduced to less than 100
all ranks, returned home to Nottingham. The citizens of Nottingham requested that the Regiment
should be called "The Nottinghamshire Regiment" and His Majesty agreed, providing 300 men were
recruited in the county.

With volunteers from the Nottinghamshire Militia and the influence of local landowners, the
stipulated number was soon obtained. Between 1786-1794 and 1795-1802, the 45th was in the
West Indies almost constantly engaged in fighting the French for possession of those islands -
Martinique, Dominica and Les Saints being captured. Unfortunately yellow fever took a far heavier
toll of the Regiment than did the enemy. After a brief period at home the 45th was soon on active
service again.

The Regiment was despatched to South America in 1807, where it took part in
the attack on Buenos Aires, when every man of the small British force had to fight for his life in the
street fighting that followed the capture of the town. After this action the Regiment embarked for
home.
       
The Peninsular War

The following year the 45th Regiment became part of the Peninsular Army, under Sir Arthur
Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington. The 45th was present at the opening battle, at Rolica in
1808, and served without a break in all Wellington's famous battles until the siege of Toulouse in
1814, winning no less than thirteen battle honours. The nickname, "The Old Stubborns", was
bestowed on the regiment for its conspicuous bravery at the battle of Talavera. In that battle the
French flung themselves in dense masses upon the advanced posts of the British Army, which were
held by the 45th, who opposed the enemy with such firmness and courage that the enemy troops
were first checked and then brought to a standstill. Retiring slowly, the 45th held up the enemy
attack so completely that the entire sting was taken out of it, and the British were able to win a
great victory. Wellington, describing the battle in his official report said: "Upon this occasion the
steadiness and discipline of the 45th Regiment were conspicuous".

In the Battle of Busaco, the 45th Regiment again distinguished itself leading the attack on a dense
column of the enemy troops, which had reached the crest of the hill. The attack, made with the
bayonet, was so fierce that the enemy was driven pell-mell down the slopes, leaving some
hundreds on the ground killed and wounded. "1 can assure you 1 never witnessed a more gallant
charge", wrote Wellington in his despatches. In the siege of Badajoz, a detachment of the 45th
succeeded in getting into the Castle first and the red coat of an officer of the 45th was hoisted in
place of the French flag to indicate the fall of the Castle. This feat is commemorated on the 6th
April each year when red jackets are flown on Regimental flag staffs and at Nottingham Castle.


Change in Title

The secondary title 'The Sherwood Foresters' was granted to the 45th in 1866 by Queen Victoria;
the Nottinghamshire Militia having previously been granted the title of "The Royal Sherwood
Foresters" in 1813.

In 1867, the 45th formed part of the British force that, under General Sir Robert Napier
(afterwards Lord Napier of Magdala), fought in the Abyssinian campaign. This was one of the
most remarkable exploits in the history of the British Army. Magdala, the capital, was a
fortified city perched on the summit of a huge rock with almost perpendicular sides, and
approachable on one side only. It was situated four hundred road less miles from the coast in
the midst of a great range of mountains, over which the troops had to climb, and in some
places had to haul their guns and limbers up by ropes. The 45th marched 300 miles in 24
days and actually covered 70 miles in 4 days over a mountain pass 10,000 feet high to be
present at the capture of Magdala.
