Régiment de Marche de la Légion Etrangère

Regimental History

On 11 November 1915, the surviving Legion forces on the Western front are merged to form a single regiment. July 1916 - Somme    On July 4, when taking Belloy-en-Santerre, the 3rd Battalion was destroyed and lost its commander. On 7 July the 1st Battalion attacked hose Chancellor and in turn lost its leader.    In Mid-July, the regiment, which had only three companies per battalion was withdrawn from the front to recover. From 4 to 9 July they lost 1368 men in 3000. April 1917 - Aubérive    The battle takes place from April 17 to 21 results in the knockout half of 1500 legionaries RMLE and the loss of the Regiment's commander, who will be replaced by Commander Deville . August 1917 - Verdun    On August 20, the regiment is responsible for the attack to relieve the city. In front of them four regiments enemies are entrenched. All objectives set for the regiment are met, and they push over three kilometers into the enemy line.. It was during this feat of arms the regiment wins its sixth Croix de Guerre, and soon the Légion d'honneur, to be placed upon the regimental colours. April 1918 - Hangard    Taking the woods of Hangard on 26 April results in the destruction of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the regiment, with the loss of 822 men. May-June 1918 - Soissons   On May 29th, the Regiment again holds against the German offensive, at the cost of another battalion commander. July 1918 - Second Battle of the Marne    The RMLE from 18 July partake in the great offensive in the region of Villers-Cotterets . The 1st Battalion lost its commander, Husson Sampigny. September 1918 - Hindenburg Line    In August 1918, the regiment , who recovered the wounded and supplemented its workforce with reinforcements filing Lyon and executives from Morocco , has 48 officers and 2,540 legionaries    On 2 September, the regiment stormed the Hindenburg line of defense at the height of Terny- Sorny.    In two weeks of fighting the RMLE lost half its men. Amongst the casualties is 2nd Battalion's commander, Captain Lannurien . Nevertheless, on September 14, the RMLE renewed the attack and pushed the front in the village of Allemant. Regimental History is currently a work in progress.

Name of the person causing trouble - Butter_Biscut
Nature of their offense - Teamkilling and racial slurs
Time and date of their offense - April 1st, at roughly 2:30AM Central Time
If needed, what your relationship was to the offense in question - I was a witness
Any proof if you have it, For instance screenshots - I'm afraid that I was unable to take a screenshot at the time, as my Steam overlay isn't properly functioning. However, a swift perusal of the logs will bring it up.

Spoiler

I would like to note that I was unfortunately forced to teamkill in order to prevent more teamkills. I am fully willing to accept any any all punishments for doing so, and do not regret it, as I could not reach any admins at the time, and have not been given the new admin password. (The reason why is a long story, and I am not willing to go into at this time.)

Suggestions & Bug Reports / Armament change for the Landwehr Unit (Prussia)

« on: February 28, 2013, 11:04:58 pm »

Looking through the history of the landwehr regiments raised by the Prussians, one finds that they were, by and large, very poorly armed. Perhaps it may be best if an option was added that permitted us to choose if we wish to use longarm (Cavalry or infantry musket, maybe a random chance to get one or the other) or a polearm. (A short pike, similar to the Russian militia) This would help make them feel less like the average soldiers of the line, and more like what they historically were. (That being militia, of course.)

Any opinions are welcome, as well as people who can word this better than I.

Regiments / Cossacks!

« on: December 13, 2012, 11:17:50 pm »

About Us
We're a group of friends who seek to enjoy organised events in the NW community, and wish to honour the sacrifices made by the men of all sides of the great conflicts of the early 19th century whilst doing so. Rank means little here, other than who is trusted to carry us to glorious victory, or to humorous defeat at the hands of a numerically superior foe. Everyone is welcome to join, regardless of skill level, or abilities. We simply ask that you attempt to remain mature when the situation calls for it. Nothing is mandatory, in terms of trainings or events. We understand that everyday life comes before shooting virtual soldiers, and won't kick you out for being 'inactive', assuming you don't simply disappear.

History
The name Cossack is derived from the Turkic word quzzaq and mean simply "adventurer" and "freeman". This name has been shared by several groups throughout the history of Europe and Asia. The most prominent and numerous are the Russian Cossacks of the Don, Ural and Siberia regions. Also famous were the Ukrainian Cossacks who lived on the southern steppes of modern Ukraine. They grew astronomically during the 15th-17th centuries due to numerous runway peasants from Russia and Poland respectively. Cossacks paid no taxes and enjoyed a large measure of autonomy in the management of their communal affairs.

Janet Hartley writes: "Cossacks are not a separate ethnic group (although they were designated as such in the Soviet period); they comprise mainly Russian and Ukrainian peasants and fugitives who had fled to the southern borderlands. They nevertheless regarded themselves as a separate group within the Russian empire, with separate institutional and social structure, who owed a loyalty to their Cossack host as well ass to the Russian tsar. The 18th and the early 19th century saw the transformation of Cossack communities from active resistors to central tsarist authority to loyal servitors of the state, but this did not mean that they had lost their sense of separate identity or their distrust of Russian officials and grandees." (Charles Esdaile - "Popular Resistance in the French Wars" p186)

Cossacks played a key role in the expansion of the Russian Empire into Siberia, the Caucasus and Asia. They also served as guides to most Russian expeditions formed by civil geographers, traders, explorers and surveyors. In 1648 the Russian Cossack Simeon Dezhnev opened a passage between America and Asia. (ext.link)

During the Napoleonic Wars the Cossacks participated in numerous campaigns and battles. In late 1790s they went with Suvorov to Italy and Switzerland. In 1805 they took part in the disastrous Austerlitz Campaign. In 1806 and 1807 the Cossacks were in Eastern Prussia in Bennigsen's army. There were several Cossack regiments fighting against the Swedes and Turks in 1808, 1809 and 1810.

In 1812 and 1813 the Cossacks covered themselves with glory. The relentless pursuit by the light cavalry and Cossacks, the winter and the tsar's and people's determination resulted in a truly disastrous defeat on Napoleon. The Grand Army ceased to be grand, it even ceased to be an army. Fewer than 100,000 of the 500 000 that Napoleon had used for the invasion returned west.

Cossacks in Paris In 1814 the dreaded Cossacks entered Paris. They were received with the best foods but they preferred to cook their own meals. The beautiful houses, palaces and courts, and the products of luxury which they encountered in Paris did not tempt them. In the beginning the Parisians were scared of the the unique troops. Russian and Cossack officers gathered in certain restaurants and hammered on the tables yelling bistro ! which is Russian word for "quickly". Hence the name bistro for this type of restaurant.
The no-nonsense tough warriors bivouacked in the square of the Carousel before his majesty's windows, and dried their shirts and trousers on the iron railings of the palace. They also camped out on the famous Champs Elysees.

The Cossacks were again in Paris in 1815. A large group of Cossacks was dispatched to find the Prussians and English armies advancing on Paris and they were the first Allies' troops who marched through Paris very shortly after Waterloo.

Shamelessly stolen from here.

Confederates / 18th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Coys. A, B, C, & D

« on: November 26, 2012, 04:13:38 pm »

The Army

Historically Formed for the ill-fated invasion of Kentucky, the Confederate Army of Kentucky formed the Eastern portion of the Confederate advance on the state capital. Though seeking to rejoin Bragg's Army of Mississippi, the Army of Kentucky would be unable to link up with them until after the fateful strategic defeat at Perryville. Following the battle, Kirby Smith was promoted to corps command, and the Army of Kentucky was incorporated into the newly renamed Army of Tennessee.

Constituent Units

Army Commander HM General H.R. Hunt (DaMonkey, Steam) 18th Louisiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment Formed on January 3 of 2019 to act as the initial mustering point for the infantry of the Army of Kentucky, the 18th Louisiana serves as part of the backbone of the Army. Commanding Officer Colonel Brandon Killeen (Branok, Steam) 13th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment Formed on January 3rd of 2019, the 13th Kentucky serves as the Army's first unit of muster for potential cavalry troops who will serve as a screening force for the Army. Commanding Officer Major Caleb Grayson 1st Texas Artillery Battery "Dallas Light Artillery" The Dallas Light Artillery, formed on January 3rd of 2019, is the Army's first point-of-entry for prospective artillerymen who will act as "diplomats" for the army on the field of battle, dispering formations and fortifications alike with their heavy guns. Commanding Officer Captain Joseph Thomas (TheBoberton, Steam) 1st Battalion, Kentucky Partisan Rangers This formation of partisan rangers acts as a militia component to the army, being the holding pen for irregulars (inactives), reserves, and all new Army recruits awaiting confirmation to their preferred billets. Members of the partisan rangers may at some times be deployed as a unit, but more often than not its members which partake in events will be divvied out to other units which need additional manpower. Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Grit

Enlisting

If you wish to join the Army of Kentucky, with all the responsibilities and privileges that would entail, feel free to contact any of the regimental
commanders, or the army commander himself. On joining, you will be placed into the militia regiment until you have finished your training and
probationary period, after which you will be moved to the branch of your choice.

While we would be open to letting other groups in, it is important to remember that this is not a 'conglomerate' army as seen previously in the
Napoleonic Wars community; the admission would be more akin to that of a merge, due to the more unitary command structure of the army. If
it's still something you are interested in, details can be fleshed out with the army commander directly.
