It always feels like the NW community is getting smaller and smaller every year, with fewer regiments forming and even more disbanding.  NA side has gone from 6 events a week in 2020 to 3 now.  There is seldom more than 2 EU events over weekend per day, when there used to be like 4 as of 2 years ago.  Yet, surprisingly, the player count for this game has been pretty consistent over the past 10 years.  Is it just that people are tired playing and NW and are playing single player now?  Why don't the numbers add up with the regiment count?

Regiments / Brunswick Oels Jägers "The Black Brunswickers" [EU]

« on: September 28, 2021, 01:39:28 am »

Brunswick Oels Jägers "The Black Brunswickers"

The Community was formed in September of 2021, when RagingMozart and Skitty joined together to form an EU new regiment that added value and players to the dwindling NW community.  We build our regiment on the principles of camaraderie, experienced leadership, and inclusivity.  Our regimental motto is "Nunquam Retrorsum!" or "Never Backwards!",  an allude to our skill in combat as expert shots and also the direction of our regiment in a straight direction towards our goals.  Now the regiment is reformed under the leader of Mozart and Santa - If you want join a laid back regiment that welcomes players of all backgrounds, join the Brunswick Oels Jägers! Regimental History The Brunswick Oels Jägers was formed in 1809 in the aftermath of the defeat of the Austrian Empire by Napoleon in the War of the Fifth Coalition.  Prussians represented a large part of the original officer corps, while the enlisted men were motivated by German patriotism. However, once the Oels entered English service, they were cut off from their natural recruiting grounds. Compelled to enlist men from the prisoner of war camps to fill up the ranks, the quality of soldiers in the Oels decreased. Also, the King's German Legion obtained the best of the German recruits, leaving the Oels with the less desirable ones. In addition to Germans, the Oels recruited Poles, Swiss, Danes, Dutch, and Croats. Charles Oman, the Peninsular War historian, calls the Oels a "motley crew, much given to desertion" and records one occasion where ten men were caught deserting in a body. Of these, four were shot and the rest flogged. Nevertheless, the Brunswick Oels Jägers gave a good account of themselves during the war. The regiment — really a single battalion—arrived in Portugal in early 1811. The Duke of Wellington distributed one company to the 4th Division and two companies to the 5th Division as skirmishers, while the remaining nine companies served in the newly formed 7th Division. The Oels remained in this organization until the end of the war in April 1814. During this period, the Oels served in most of the major battles including Fuentes de Onoro, Salamanca, Vitoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, the Nive, and Orthez.

Regiments / ♞ 10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Regiment of Hussars [EU]

« on: August 31, 2021, 01:06:37 am »

10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Regiment of Hussars

The regiment was formed at Hertford in 1715 as Gore's Regiment of Dragoons, one of 16 raised in response to the 1715 Jacobite rising. The Rising ended before the unit was ready for action; while most of these temporary formations were disbanded in 1718, Gore's remained in being and spent the next 25 years on garrison duty, primarily in the West Country. It first saw active service during the 1745 rising, at the Battle of Falkirk Muir in January 1746 and the Battle of Culloden in April. As part of the reforms enacted by the Duke of Cumberland, it was retitled the 10th Regiment of Dragoons in 1751.            In 1806, the regiment was again re-designated, this time becoming a hussar regiment as the 10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars), and sailed for Corunna in Spain in November 1808. The regiment saw action at the Battle of Sahagún in December 1808 and the Battle of Benavente later in December 1808 during the Peninsular War. At Benavente the regiment captured General Charles Lefebvre-Desnouettes, the French cavalry commander. The regiment then took part in the Battle of Corunna in January 1809 before returning to England.            In 1813, having landed once more in Spain, the regiment fought at the Battle of Morales in June 1813. During the battle the regiment destroyed the 16th French Dragoons between Toro and Zamora, taking around 260 prisoners. The regiment also fought at the Battle of Vitoria later in the month while still in Spain and then, having advanced into France, fought at the Battle of Orthez in February 1814 and the Battle of Toulouse in April 1814. As part of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, the regiment charged the French cavalry and infantry at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815.            If you're looking for a regiment that doesn't require mandatory attendance or isn't super competitive, feel free to contact one of the officers below through steam!  We are eagerly looking for NW players of all experience groups and skill to help fill the ranks!

North & South: First Manassas / Bug for Engineers and Artillery Guard class

« on: January 01, 2021, 10:08:01 am »

Not sure where to post this since all the threads seem dead, but if a dev sees this just wanted to let you know that there is a bug for the engineer class where if you keep clicking clicking the class, you don't spawn with the full set of spade, hammer, sword, and axe.  Also for the Artillery guard class (private III), there is a bug where you spawn with two or three firearms. 

Thanks.

*Actively Recruiting New Members*

History of the United States Marine Corps During the Civil War:

Formed on November 10th, 1775, the Marine Corps has been a driving force for the United States Military, spending most of it's early service on blockade guard duty, shore guard duty, maintaining the United States Navy's port security, and landings and security in foreign and domestic territory where the United States had interest. During the civil war, the United States Marine Corps did much of the same, with one of it's most memorable moments being the assault and capture of New Orleans from the Confederate States of America. During the First Battle of Bull Run, there was a Marine detachment of 348 men that helped protect a battery of Union Artillery. The Marines were credited with brave action throughout the battle but ultimately were forced to retreat, along with the rest of the Union Army. Marines were instrumental in the success of the Anaconda Plan, which was a plan to split the Confederate States of America in half in order to starve them of supplies. During this time, Marines were mainly used to man guns and provide fire support aboard ironclads and other ships while assaulting Confederate positions in harbors and on rivers. During the battle of Drewry's Bluff, Corporal John F. Mackie was aboard a U.S. Navy ship, when guns were knocked out of action and multiple casualties were sustained. During the heavy gunfire from the shores, Cpl. Mackie reinstated the gun into an active state, and aided wounded men, all while returning fire to the Confederate forces. For this, he was the first Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Towards the end of the war, the Marines and U.S. Navy were instrumental in the attack on the last active port for the Confederacy, located near Fort Fisher. Although this was just a diversion for the Union Army, it was still a valiant action of the Marines, with constant waves of men being thrown at the Confederacy, which was instrumental in it's capture. The Confederacy then surrendered at the Appomatox Court House three months later.

We are looking for veteran members of the Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars scene and the Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord scene to join our ranks in the fight against the Confederate States of America. We are also open to new joins who are just discovering this game, that are looking for a fun and active group to partake in large line battles with. We strive to be a serious regiment on the battlefield, but a fun, close-knit community outside of that as well. We are open to recruits from any region and any age. There is no trolling that will be allowed, and no discrimination or ostracization of other players in the group. If there are any questions on who to join or anything about the group in general, feel free to message me on steam and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing everyone on the field of battle. Semper Fidelis!

About the Leader:
Hello there, I'm RagingMozart.  I currently lead an NW regiment (1st Battalion, Royal Marines), and have been playing Mount and Blade for about 5 years now.  I'm currently a Midshipman at the US Naval Academy and enjoy modern history, mathematics, and strategy games.  My community philosophy is that regiment members should only attend events if they feel like it, so if you're looking for a regiment that doesn't require mandatory attendance or isn't super competitive, feel free to contact me!  My steam username link is in the description below.

Skins & OSP Resources / Royal Marine Reskin

« on: October 07, 2020, 10:07:11 am »

Does anyone know of a reskin that replaces the Navy Captain with a Marine Officer (For the UK faction primarily, but one with France will we appreciated as well).  If not, can anyone point me to a person that does take reskin requests?  Also a Marine drummer reskin would also be awesome as well.

Thanks fam.
