[NA] 11th New York Infantry "Fire Zouaves" [Grant's Legion]

[Grax]

Founded by long time veterans of the genre and piloted by dedicated members who want nothing more than to have good fun and enjoy an environment fueled by a desire for competition, the 11NY is an ideal place for gamers who want to hone their skills in a lively and active community. Utilizing tried and proven tactics and techniques and founded on a bedrock of solid fighters and able officers, the 11NY is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. We pride ourselves on putting significant focus on group tactics, especially in melee. Our regiment is upheld by a sound and pragmatic regime that gives every rank explicit responsibilities and purpose. If you choose to become an NCO or an officer, you choose to take on more responsibility in our regiment, and you will be held to higher standards than the rest of the regiment. Though we place immense importance on competitive skill and getting ourselves hard-earned victory, we have not forgotten that the end goal here is to enjoy ourselves. You will not be shouted down at and treated like you are suffering in a real army. There is no PTS in our regiment, and there are no senseless punishments either. We will call for silence intense moments such as during a group fight or when we are under stress, but at any other time, you are free to speak as you like. If the specifications above are to your liking, this is the regiment for you to join and begin or continue your regimental career in Battle Cry of Freedom. On April 15, 1861, President Lincoln issued an Executive Order calling for 75,000 ninety-day enlistments to "repossess the forts, places, and property which have been seized from the Union." That day, Lincoln wrote Ellsworth asking for his assistance in raising a regiment. Ellsworth had known the president well, from having assisted in organizing his campaign for the presidency in 1860 and received a commission to organize the 11th New York Infantry as a 90-day regiment. To the enlistees, a common yet often unknown stipulation included 90 days of service to the Federal government and up to two years of service to the state. This was not always communicated to the men who enlisted, including those of the 11th New York. Within four days, 2,300 men had answered Ellsworth's call. A selection of only the most desirable men cut that number to 1,100, which was considered a regiment's full strength. When the state could not afford to supply the new troops, fundraisers were successful in raising $60,000 for the regiment, enough to provide uniforms, several different models of Sharps rifles, and provisions. The Zouaves' first major combat experience occurred during the First Battle of Bull Run.
