The 60th Royal American regiment of foot and the 82nd Prince of Wales Volunteers Regiment of Foot are proud to announce a
new Thursday linebattle event. This event shall occur at 7pm GMT every Thursday, with the 1st Thursday of every month being based on
a historical battle. We hope in this event to provide a good gaming atmosphere on a very good server with only respectable, well natured regiments in attendance.
First event is Thursday the fourteenth of February.
Basic Rules.
-Firing in a charge is allowed.
-Any regiment excepting artillery must join another line when down to 3 men or less.
-Don't officer aim if you can avoid it. It is frowned upon for skirmishers and light infantry
to do so but not forbidden. (It's historical, it happened. There is a chain of command for a reason.)
-Generals. These will be allowed but only if you tell me in advance and they must be (obviously) in charge of more than a single regiment or company. They may not have any staff officers and once their regiments are out of action they must dismount and join a line. If you do not tell me in advance I will just keep slaying them every time I see them regardless of pestering during the event.

Minimum 10. No maximum but cannot deploy in a line larger than 30,More than that must deploy in 2 separate lines. No firing out of formation. If less than 4 men must join another line if possible. No crouching whilst firing unless in a double rank. Half man spacing is allowed.

Signing up.
This is primarily a private event for regiments that we can trust to aid us in making a good linebattle, however it is possible that on occasion we will need someone to fill some spaces, in which case I will post here stating what is needed and how to contact me.
