What if the devs are waiting for it to be a year just so that it gets people talking about the game and promoting the game.
Just one long and cheap marketing campaign.
Whats the accurate date of realeasing this game?
@zerosius:
Nope. We only had an agreement concerning BCoF. In NaS we keep using this regiment name.
Furthermore I don't see any reason why you need to claim that name now in NaS, as you've no members for your regiment.
Sorry mate the name is already taken and they are in the UA
Over the Course of the war, some 2,500 men enlisted for three-year terms in five New Jersey light artillery batteries. Together, the batteries were identified as a “regiment”, although they never fought together as such. Commanded by a captain and led by half dozen or so lieutenants, each battery had between 150 and 200 men at any given time. The men were responsible for six guns, about eighty horses, and an assortment of support equipment such as a forge, wagons, an ambulance and caissons and limbers, which carried ammunition. In action, eight soldiers manned each field piece, most of which were either Napoleons or Parrots. The captain´s name, a letter, or a numerical designation identified each battery. Due to this, the history of the - 1st Battery "A" New Jersey Light Artillery - is also the history of a German immigrant called William Hexamer. Born and Koblenz and later studying in Heidelberg and Karlsruhe, he eventually joined the "Burschenschaft Neckarbund”a special type of student fraternities representing liberal and nationalistic ideas in 19th century Germany. Following from this, both he and his brother served as an aide to Franz Sigel (who should later serve as General Major for the union Army) during the 1848 revolution, where Hexamer organized the badenese “Volkswehr” (militia). After the revolution failed, he had to go into exile, which led him first to London, and eventually to New Jersey, where he settled down as an engineer and was later elected into city parliament. At the outbreak of the civil-war, Hexamer eventually led an organized and equipped militia battery called the Hudson County Artillery as militia major. He and Governor Olden eagerly offered the services of the unit to the War Departement, but it took four months before the battery was finally accepted into federal service. It lacked horses and caissons, which the federal authorities were unable to furnish. The Unit became variously known as Hexamer´s Battery, Battery A, or 1st New jersey Light Artillery. Its 105 members were mostly German immigrants and refugees, like Hexamer himself. |  |
