The Bloody Tenth Tennesse

The 10th originated in Napoleonic wars back in 2013 as the 28th/44th regiment, we played the mod N&S as the 2ndWis. Since then we have become a close knitted community and we are eager to the games release. The 10th will strive to become a well known regiment from day one of the release, learning the new melee system and doing regular training's to discuss what we've learnt so far. If you'd be interested in joining us add coke412 on steam.
The 10th is a EU based regiment with 2 planned companies of Line and Light. As BCoF will be a completely different game from NW, we'll be needing our lights to pick off targets from a far.

The 10th was one of only two Irish Catholic regiments in the Confederate Army, although their elected officers were mostly Ulster-Scots Protestants.
They built Forts Henry and Donelson and then were captured and held in Camp Douglas Prison. Reconstituted, the 10th were deployed as sharpshooters through the tough campaigns at Chickamauga, Chattanooga and Atlanta.
The Regimental flag originally belonged to Company 'D' of the Tennessee Home Guards (State Militia). It was outlined in Kelly Green on a light green background. A gold harp, maroon trim with white lettering; above the harp, "Sons of Erin"; below the harp "Where glory await you".
The unlucky 10th Tennessee Infantry was organized in 1861, just a few weeks after the first shot was fired at Fort Sumpter. The "Sons of Erin's" motto was "Go where Glory Waits You." At the fighting at Fort Donelson the 10th Tennessee suffered severe losses and earned the nickname of "The Bloody Tenth." After the surrender of Fort Donelson, the field and staff officers were taken as prisoners of war, moved to Fort Warren and Camp Douglas where they received cruel treatment, but were eventually exchanged in 1862. The reunited 10th Brigade was then ordered to Vicksburg where they suffered another bloody defeat at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou. They continued to fight for the losing cause until the end of the war. There were less than 100 men left in the 10th Tennessee Infantry at the closing of the war, and every one of them had been wounded, many times.
This will be a EU only regiment for the most part, only letting in none EU for certain reasons. Applications for the 10th will be done through our website when we have it set up. If you are interested but unsure about the commitment needed to join us then add one of the moderator of our steam group and he'll give the run down.
The 10th is more then happy to have new players join it's ranks, all we ask of you is to listen and take in what we teach you, enthusiasm goes along way here.

About the 114th.
The 114th originated in Napoleonic wars back in 2013 as the 28th regiment, we played the mod N&S as the 2ndWis/114th regiment. Since then we have become a close knitted community and we are eager to the games release. The 114th will strive to become a well known regiment from the day one of the release, learning the new melee system and doing regular training's to discuss what we've learnt so far. If you'd be interested in joining us add coke412 on steam.
The 114th is a EU based regiment with 2 planned companies of Line and Light. As BCoF will be a completely different game from NW, we'll be needing our lights to pick off targets from a far.
History of the 114th
The 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. They were notable for their colorful Americanized version of the Zouave uniform worn in emulation of certain French light-infantry units that became world-famous during France's colonization of North Africa, the Crimean War, and the Second War of Italian Independence fought in the years prior to the American Civil War. The regiment was the brain-child of Charles H. T. Collis, an Irish immigrant who settled in Philadelphia becoming a prominent young lawyer. Collis initially raised only a small company of men calling them the "Zouaves d'Afrique" which served while attached to other regiments. They saw action in the 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, the Battle of Cedar Mountain, and the Battle of Antietam. The "Zouaves d'Afrique" were much admired for their military bearing and prowess in battle to the point that it was decided to raise a full-sized regiment which was given the numeric designation of 114th Volunteer Infantry.
There were plenty of Zouave regiment during the civil war, arguably the most famous Union Zouave regiments were from New York and Pennsylvania: the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry, "Duryee's Zouaves" (after its first colonel, Abram Duryee), the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry; "Collis's Zouaves" (after their colonel, Charles H. T. Collis); and the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry, the "Fire Zouaves". The 11th New York was initially led by Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth, until his death in 1861.
114th Monument
This monument, dedicated on July 2, 1886, marks where the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry was positioned during the heaviest fighting on the Second Day of the Battle of Gettysburg (July 2, 1863). The regiment, known as the "Collis Zouaves" after their Colonel, Charles H.T. Collis, was notably attired in the bright red pants of the French Zouave soldier during the Campaign. On July 2 it was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Frederick F. Cavada (Colonel Collis having been wounded at Chancellorsville). The regiment was first positioned behind artillery pieces in support, and spent some of the day lying prone to escape the Confederate artillery fire. When the Confederates attacked, the regiment was quickly moved across Emmitsburg Road to protect the Union Batteries there, and formed a line at the Sherfy Farmhouse in conjunction with the 57th Pennsylvania Infantry. The Confederate advance then tore through the 114th Pennsylvania, sending the unit streaming back in retreat, which unhinged the Union line. Lt. Colonel Cavada succumbed to exhaustion early during the retreat, and was captured, being unable to run. The remnants of the unit came under command of Captain Edward R. Bowen, who rallied the survivors around its flag several times during its retreat to Cemetery Ridge. The men of the 114th Pennsylvania were unable to rejoin their brigade until the morning of July 3rd. On that day, the Third of the Battle, they remained in the Woods until sent to the Union center to support Cowen's Battery during Pickett's Charge. After the repulse of the Confederate attack, Captain Bowen detailed some of his men to retrieve weapons abandoned by the Rebels. His men gathered over 300 arms from the fields in their front. The 114th Pennsylvania Infantry, with 296 men at the start of the Battle, lost 19 men killed and 76 wounded.

Uniform of the 114th
The 114th Pennsylvania's uniform from top to bottom began with a red Moroccan style fez with a yellow-gold tassel worn crushed downward on the back of the head like a skull cap. Some men were issued fezzes that were too large so they compensated by turning up the brim giving the fez the appearance of a beanie. The collarless jacket was dark blue with sky blue cuffs and red trim. Arabesque designs on the jacket breasts were called tombeux and gave the appearance of large false pockets trimmed in red. A sky blue sash was worn wrapped tightly around the waist with Chasseur style madder red trousers, white leggings (gaiters), and leather jambières rounding out the ensemble. For dress parade and guard mount duty the fez was augmented with a white turban which was wound around the head in Arabic style. Although the turban was not worn on the march or in battle it has often been erroneously portrayed as such in post-war art. The material for the uniforms was imported from France by Colonel Collis himself. Like other Zouave regiments raised in the larger cities of America, the 114th attracted some immigrants to its ranks who were veterans of European wars, but the rank and file consisted mostly of American-born citizens from Philadelphia and its surrounding counties.
Captain Charles H. T. Collis
This company included many French soldiers who had served as Zouaves in the campaigns of France and who had been identified with the 18th Regiment, in the three months' service. It was recruited at Philadelphia by Charles H. T. Collis, proposing to serve as a bodyguard to Major-Gen. N. P. Banks. The uniform adopted was that of the French Zouaves d'Afrique and was retained by the 114th Regiment, to which it was latter attached, throughout the war.
