Community / Coldstream Public Teamspeak

Coldstream Public Teamspeak

I remember when most of the community relied on ts.22nd.eu (the Official teamspeak for Mount & Musket and early NW) It was amazing having everyone so close, I loved the convenience of messaging other regiment leaders, mercing and just hanging about with new people everyday without hopping from teamspeak to teamspeak. I'd like to bring this experience back for the Napoleonic Wars community, I feel the community has taken a turn in the wrong direction. When I browse the NA forums I see nothing but shitposting, negativity between regiments, arguments about officer aiming, double reggers and all sorts of bullshit. I'm not comfortable with that being the face of the North American community, I want to build a friendly, no bullshit, no drama and just chill environment for all regiments interested in taking part. If this sounds like something you're interested in, copy the template below and reply to this thread with it filled out. If you don't feel comfortable putting it out in public, you may PM me.

TL;DR If you need a teamspeak to use for free, copy the template and reply to this thread with it filled out.

Spoiler The origin of the Coldstream Guards lies in the English Civil War when Oliver Cromwell gave Colonel George Monck permission to form his own regiment as part of the New Model Army. Monck took men from the regiments of George Fenwick and Sir Arthur Haselrig, five companies each, and on 23 August 1650 formed Monck's Regiment of Foot. Less than two weeks later this force took part in the Battle of Dunbar, at which the Roundheads defeated the forces of Charles Stuart. Monck's regiment was left in Scotland.   After Richard Cromwell's death, Monck gave his support to the Stuarts, and on 1 January 1660 he crossed the River Tweed into England at the village of Coldstream, from where he made a five-week march to London. He arrived in London on 2 February and helped in the Restoration of the monarchy. For his help, Monck was given the Order of the Garter and his regiment was assigned to keep order in London. However, the new parliament soon ordered his regiment to be disbanded with the other regiments of the New Model Army.   A Coldstream Guard at the Tower of London, July 2006 Before that could happen, Parliament was forced to rely on the help of the regiment against the rebellion by the Fifth Monarchists led by Thomas Venner on 6 January 1661. The regiment successfully defeated the rebels and on 14 February the men of the regiment symbolically laid down their arms as part of the New Model Army and were immediately ordered to take them up again as a royal regiment of The Lord General's Regiment of Foot Guards, a part of the Household Troops.   The regiment was placed as the second senior regiment of Household Troops, as it entered the service of the Crown after the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, but they answered to that by adopting the motto Nulli Secundus (Second to None), due to the fact that the regiment is older than the senior regiment. The regiment always stands on the left of the line when on parade with rest of the Foot Guards, so standing "second to none". When Monck died in 1670, the Earl of Craven took command of the regiment and it adopted a new name, the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards.                                    [close]
