We are a group of mainly members of the NW regiment 1er Grenadiers-a-Pied de La Garde Imperiale & a rebel contingent of that same regiment.
Mostly friendly guys who enjoy the thrill of M&B and all of its mods. We are however open to anyone with a willing heart and a good sense of humour.
We play both sides of the conflict, as british we fight under the tag RDG_Rank_Name and we also have a Zulu counterpart if we feel like chucking spears and slicing people open. When we play as Zulus we have the tag Zulu_name.
So if you enjoy a relaxed and open community we are your bunch of merry men.
We are loosely based on this historical regiment which we can't name ourselves after since there is already another regiment with this name.
But since the Zuluwars did not feauture that many regiments its hard to base a new regiment off anything hence we base ourselves loosley on these premises.

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=2015.0The First King’s Dragoon Guards was a small cavalry regiment originally raised in 1685 in a panic reaction to the Monmouth Rebellion. Its normal strength was approximately 400 but fluctuated and as many as 650 are listed, for example as qualifying for the medal and clasp for service in the Zulu War. Their achievements in that campaign are another story: what is of concern here is their fortunes before and during the First Boer War, fortunes which are not easy to follow as the Regiment often served as a fragmented unit, split up into troops and squadrons involved in actions quite independently of each other. Fortunately, there are two firsthand reports — one by Cpl R. Smith and the other contained in the letters of a Pte Venables which, together with official reports and references in the press, enable one to reconstruct a picture of the Regiment’s activities.
After the Zulu War and the capture of the elusive Cetshwayo (itself largely the work of Maj R.J.C. Marter, King’s Dragoon Guards, and his troop), the King’s Dragoon Guards awaited posting to India. Public attention in England at the time was directed at the returning heroes — men like Hope, Crealock, Newdigate, Marshall, Wood and Buller — who were feted by town councils, mayors, the Fishmongers Company and the like. The departure from South Africa of the 17th Lancers in August 1879 meant that the King’s Dragoon Guards was the only imperial cavalry in the country and was therefore much in demand for communication, scouting and escort work.
This is very easy, either add thelich or dodejoker on steam and ask to join.
