About us Peterwardeiner Gränz-Infanterieregiment Nr. 9 is a competitive European line infantry regiment. Our goal is to become one of the most disciplined infantry regiments in the EU community. Mostly we play 1v1s and groupfighting matches but we don’t mind an occasional 2v2/3v3 or a line only linebattle. Our regiment consists of both veterans of the game as well as newcomers. We don’t have an age limit and everyone is welcome as long as they’re mature enough to understand what order, discipline and teamwork are all about. Historical background The military reforms, in mid 18th century, of the The Military Frontier (a province straddling the southern borderland of the Habsburg Monarchy which acted as the cordon sanitaire against incursions from the Ottoman Empire) militia of Habsburg Monarchy led to creaton of Peterwardeiner National-Infanterieregiment Nr. 5. In 1768 the regiment was renamed to Peterwardeiner Gränz-Infanterieregiment Nr. 9. At the beginning the regiment consisted of ten companies comprised of local population which was to defend the borders of Habsburg Monarchy against often Ottoman incursions. As the number of population grew so did the number of companies which lead to a total number of 15 companies by the end of 18th century. By the time of Napoleonic Wars, troops from the Military Frontier were now formed into more regular line infantry regiments, but were considered by the Austrian generals as something between light and line infantry. They were given training in marksmanship, skirmishing and the basics of linear tactics. At the start of the war as much as eighteen Grenz infantry regiments were formed, which made up about a quarter of the Habsburg Monarchy's army. However, the Grenzers were first and foremost skirmishing troops and were thought not to perform as well in the role of line infantry as the regular infantry regiments. As such, many in the Austrian military command did not think much of them. Following a mutiny in 1800, their numbers were reduced from 57,000 to only 13,000. Despite this, the Grenz infantry performed consistently well in battle, especially at Marengo and Austerlitz, earning them respect from the French. Napoleon held them in high opinion and considered them as the most warlike troops in the entire Austrian army. He had no hesitation in using the Grenz infantry after Austria's defeat in the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809. The Treaty of Schönbrunn compelled Austria to cede territory in the Military Frontier and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th Grenz Infantry Regiments went into French service. They fought for Napoleon until his defeat and abdication in 1814. Rank structure

The First Serbian Uprising was the first stage of the Serbian Revolution, the successful wars of independence that lasted approximately 9 years and 9 months (1804–1813), during which Serbia achieved independence for the first time after more than three centuries of Ottoman rule and short-lasting Austrian occupations. Serbian revolutionary army was made from the common folk. Gathering the army was done on a geographic basis, with occasional military training. An important part of the army was composed of former outlaws and refugees from neighboring areas under Turkish rule. Following the example of European countries at that time, at the end of 1808, Serbia introduced regular army, which was dependent on the state. Each nahiye (administrative unit of the Ottoman Empire), depending on the population, formed one or two companies of so called “regulashi” which meant they were regular army. Regular army consisted of infantry and cavalry and had a major number of fighters and cannons. Fortified fortresses, camps and ditches were of great importance for upcoming defence against the Ottoman counter-offensive in 1812. Left by Russian Empire, which had to defend their motherland against Napoleon, Serbia was once again alone in its struggle for survival. Moreover, Serb leader - Karadjordje - was ill and had no strength to fight. In 1813 Serbian uprising has been crushed but this revolution sparked the Second Serbian uprising a year later which resulted in a creation of Principality of Serbia as it gained semi-independence from Ottoman Empire in 1817 (formally in 1829). Serbia got its fill independence in 1878 and was later recognized as a Kingdom of Serbia in 1882. The first Serbian infantry regiment was formed at the end of the 19th century, but for the sake of gameplay and fun we placed it into the NW era. Rank structure
