Hello there we are the 11th North Devonshire Regiment of Foot, a mix of NW and N&S players who play together as the NR24 and the 5th Texas and who have only recently become aware of this great mod. We are here to blow off steam, have fun, and try to survive whilst killing as many Zulu's as possible in the name of defending our British Empire!
Regimental History:Instead of giving you a long history lesson, I shall direct you to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonshire_RegimentAnd shall give you a brief summery:
First raised in 1667 by the Marquess of Worcester Henry Somerset it was reorganized into the 11th Regiment of Foot in 1751 and given the North Devonshire title in 1752. During the Napoleonic Wars it saw a lot of action in the penisular campaign and elsewhere.

For its bravery and fortitude during the battle the regiment was awarded the battle honour “Salamanca”.
Following the defeat of Napoleon, the regiment spent most of the 19th Century on garrison duty throughout the Empire. It took part in the Tirah Campaign in 1897-1898 and the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902. The 2nd Battalion was re-formed in 1858 and fought in the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the Ashanti Wars and the Second Boer War.
Regimental Information:We will be playing primarily as a Line Infantry regiment with sapper support, however if we get enough members we will also field a unit of Riflemen, Artillery or Cavalry - in that order.
We are here to have fun and play a game. We will not be heavy on discipline, orders or anything that would counter the "funability" aspect of the game. Do expect however to die often, and to hear the death cries in our teamspeak server as we laugh at not having enough ammunition or defence forts built!
Teamspeak 3 is a requirement, it increases the fun of gaming by a factor of at least 100%.

Why do you want to join the 11th?:
Will you be active? (We aim for one night a week of fun!):
Other Information:Are we aware that the 11th wasnt in the Zulu War? : Yes. At the time I believe the 2nd Battlion was busy elsewhere in the Empire. However it could have just as easily been in the Zulu War. Or rather, it is
feasible. Besides, there are dozens of other regiments in the various mods of M&B that are not just impossible, but are so impossible its like going to a Roman Toga Party dressed in a Bumblebee Onesie. At least with the 11th it would be like going but dressed in the wrong era toga.
Will there be training/other possible boring stuff?: Yes. We will have training. Its called going onto the max population server and killing zulu's whilst trying various tactics. Or as we like to call it until the game is actually released and not in alpha/beta: Playing Regular.
Will there be line battle events etc?: We hope so. We would love to see some organized play, and love to be part of it!
Is this just to have fun?: Pretty much.
Where do I sign up?: Either the steam group, or contact me at Ser Lucas Avis on steam. Or the FH Teamspeak. Or post below!
Have fun now! And for any that do take offence to the 11th, just remember this could just as easily be the 11th as whoever it actually is!:
