His most Britannic Majesty's 45th Regiment of foot was raised on the 26th March 2016 by Vegetarian.
It is a semi-serious competitive regiment that is English speaking and accepts all nationalities, Recruits have to attend one Line-battle
and one training before becoming an official member of the regiment, so that you show you are dedicated enough to be active.
The 45th Nottinghamshire is lead by Colonel Nova and boasts three detachments each with their own events which Nova oversees and leads. The 45th Nottinghamshire is well rooted both in the casual and competitive scenes with the regiment hosting its own successful Thursday event as well as preforming very well in many regimental tournaments and leagues such as RGL, GLBT, RMT and Kincaids 2v2. The Regiment can be broken up into three separate detachments, The Centre Company (aka the Line Company) lead by Major Flibbit and his second in command; Lieutenant Maskman. The Lights company is lead by Captain Bernard and finally the Grenandier company (Grens) lead by Colour Sergeant Jerome. For tournament and group fight matches only the very best from each company will be selected for attendance, the Grenadiers making up the back bone of competitive events.
The regiment boasts an experienced cadre of NCOs who are invaluable in keeping good order in the line, such as Company Sergeant Major Jack Hanselsmitch (Lights), Sergeant Floris (Grens), Corporal Cookiez (Line) Lance Corporal Django (Lights) and Acting Lance Corporals Flo (Grens) and Crackers (Line). Special thanks to Flasheart, the most loved uncle of the regiment!

Historical Overview - 45th Nottinghamshire, Reg't of Foot***The regiment was raised by Colonel Daniel Houghton as Houghton's Regiment in 1741 for service during the War of the Austrian Succession. It was first posted to Gibraltar in 1745, before moving to Nova Scotia in 1747 for garrison duty. The regiment was ranked as the 56th Regiment of Foot in 1747 but was re-ranked as the 45th Regiment of Foot in 1751. The regiment fell victim to a raid on Dartmouth in May 1751 during Father Le Loutre's War when Mi'kmaq and Acadia militia from Chignecto, under the command of Acadian Joseph Broussard, raided Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, destroying the town, killing twenty British villagers and torturing and mutilating a sergeant from the 45th Foot. The regiment then defeated the local militia at the Battle of Fort Beauséjour in June 1755. The regiment also took part in the Siege of Louisbourg in July 1758 during the French and Indian War.
The regiment also saw action in North America during the American War of Independence, fighting at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 before returning to England in 1778. In 1782 the citizens of Nottinghamshire petitioned for the regiment to have the county name included in the regimental name: this was granted and the regiment became the 45th (1st Nottinghamshire) Regiment. In March 1786 the regiment embarked for the West Indies and garrisoned Martinique, Dominica and Îles des Saintes during the French Revolutionary Wars. In May 1801, on the home journey, some 150 French prisoners aboard the ship, the Windsor, overpowered the guard, locked the officers in their cabins and took possession of the ship. | | | | | | | | | | |

However another unit of the regiment successfully charged the enemy, taking two howitzers and many prisoners. The regiment embarked for Portugal in July 1808 to serve under General Sir Arthur Wellesley in the Peninsular War. The regiment fought at the Battle of Roliça in August 1808, the Battle of Vimeiro later that month and the Battle of Talavera, where it won the nickname "Old Stubborn", in July 1809. The regiment went on to fight at the Battle of Bussaco in September 1810 before falling back to the Lines of Torres Vedras. It saw action again at Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro in May 1811, the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812 and the Siege of Badajoz in March 1812 before fighting at the Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 and the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813. It then pursued the French Army into France and fought at the Battle of the Pyrenees in July 1813, the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 and the Battle of Orthez in February 1814 as well as the Battle of Toulouse in April 1814.
