Regiments / 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot

« on: September 10, 2016, 09:29:03 pm »

Welcome to the 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot recruitment page. The 41st Regiment of Foot is one that will be mainly focused on discipline / realism within the NW game for those who still want to get somewhat of an authentic experience. This means that we will be running on an absolute no trolling policy as we want to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for all our members. We will be playing as the British in game and more often than not selecting the first unit. We advise people to use immersive names for the time period however this is not a requirement.

You are probably wondering, who is this madman trying to open up a new regiment by himself? Well let me give you a bit of background information about myself:

I have played the Napoleonic Wars mod for close on five years now and have gathered over three thousand hours within the game. During this time I have lead regimental companies ranging from Cavalry, Line and at one point even rifles. Most of my time has been spent serving as an Officer / NCO for someone else's regiment so I thought to myself, at least once before the game goes under, I want to try making one myself.

So why me, over every other leader out there? There is no easy answer to such a question but having been around in the game for so long I have alot of experience with NW itself and the community, have alot of time to dedicate to running the regiment and not being a backseat leader, treat all members equally / fairly no matter what their rank and the fact that I love personally investing my time in helping people grow within the game.

The 41st Regiment of Foot wants you, what are you waiting for?

Officer / NCO

The Officer's / NCO's of the Regiment are the primary leaders and look after the regimental well being.

  Colonel

The Colonel is the Primary leader of the Regiment and will command most line battles with the aid of his trusty Officers and NCO's. Though every effort is made to run things in a democratic fashion the Colonel will often have the final say in important regimental decisions.

  Major 

The Major is the Colonel's right hand man in both on the field leading and regimental decisions. The Major will be the primary factor in deciding promotions, organising events and dealing with any major regimental issues.

  Captain 

The Captain is the ''peoples champion'', focusing almost solely on battle discipline, running training's and developing the Enlisted Men's skills he is often seen as the face of the average soldier and the one they turn to with most of their concerns.

Lieutenant 

The Lieutenant's job is to provide assistance to the Captain when needed, however if the Captain is absent during training then the Lieutenant will be expected to stand in his steed and lead in his absence. Will be called upon to help lead during battles occasionally.

  Ensign 

The Ensign is the most junior of the Officer ranks and is often used as a trial of sorts. Here potential officers can be screened and their prowess gauged before advancing into the higher ranks. In battle the Ensign should keep an eye on discipline and keep the men in order.

  Regimental Serjeant Major

The Regimental Serjeant Major is often seen as the iron rod of any regiment. His duties are simple, keep the men in line at all times and ensure that troop morale during battle never waivers. During training's the Regimental Sergeant Major can help train the Enlisted Men in certain areas such as shooting or melee.

  Serjeant

The Serjeant is expected to carry out the duties of the RSM when they are not present as well as aiding the RSM in any and all duties required. During battle the Serjeant may carry the colours of battle or join with the Enlisted Men to set a good example.

  Corporal 

The Corporal is the Second Lowest NCO rank and still somewhat of an observation rank. However the Corporal may be expected to help in training's as well as report any disruptive behaviour in the line. During battles Corporal's are expected to act as a regular foot soldier and only give commands if needed in the case of addressing discipline.

  Lance Corporal

The Lance Corporal is the Lowest NCO rank and a purely observational rank. Lance Corporals are expected to learn quickly and show that they understand the fundamental ideas of being an NCO. During battles they are expected to act as a normal foot soldier.

Enlisted Men

The Enlisted Men are the backbone of any regiment and in many ways even more important than the Officer's themselves.

Kingsman

The Kingsmen are the elite of the Enlisted Men. Often promoted through sheer determination and skill these men are seen as the core of the regiment and the most lethal in their respected fields of shooting or melee.

Regular

Regular's make up the backbone of the regiment. Active, Loyal and well behaved these brave men never show fear in the face of danger and always strive to set an example to those around them.

Private

The Private is still learning through training and battle experience. They are not expected to excel in any areas but are still expected to follow the regimental code of conduct.

Cadet

The Cadet is still seen as new blood however they have proven themselves capable of basic melee, shooting and good behaviour.

Recruit

New blood of the regiment these men are often used as cannon fodder or other lowly duties. Through hard work and good behaviour they can easily become a Cadet, but those who show no promise or violate the regimental code of conduct will be released from service.

Frequently asked questions

What are promotions based on?

Promotions are based on several factors such as attendance, good behaviour and battle skill. Demotions are based on the opposite such as inactivity, bad behaviour and teamkilling excessively .

How are NCO's / Officers picked?

Lance Corporal can be applied for by anyone who is Private through to Kingsman. When you apply you will be given a test at, usually, the next training to gauge any potential you may have. If said training goes well then you will be given the opportunity to lead a round or two during a real line battle after which the Officer's will discuss if you show sufficient levels of leadership, confidence, clear speaking and decision making to advance onto the path of command. If you are unsuccessful during these trials you will be told why so next time you can work on the problem areas. You can reapply again in two weeks.

Officers are picked from any NCO who the Officer's agree is active, dedicated, friendly, has great leadership potential and is overall well respected throughout the regiment. This will often seem at random as Officers will be observing NCO's at all times regardless if another Officer is being sought.

The current goals of the regiment as it stands are purely construction based at this moment. We are looking for potential Officers / NCO's and of course enlisted to begin filling the roster with. If you are interested in an Officer or NCO position please contact me via PM or steam. Recruitment aside I am currently going to be building a basic website as well as getting a Teamspeak 3 server set up. During this time, as you can likely imagine, events will be non existent until we get enough numbers to participate however this won't be difficult to achieve.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through our thread, if you wish to contact me with any enquiries please feel free to do so through the FSE PM function or through steam, however the regiment is still on hold until the basics can be sorted out as well as aiming more towards a future NW mod for Mount & Blade: Bannerlord. That being I am still accepting Officer / NCO applications!

General Discussion / How difficult is it making a fresh regiment?

« on: September 10, 2016, 09:13:51 pm »

Considering the community player base is apparently on the decline and alot of bigger regiments tend to have the monopoly on new members, how hard is it to make a new regiment these days and is it even worth considering doing before banner lord? Nothing aiming for the skies, maybe 10 or so active people?

If it is worth trying to make one, what tips do people have?

Also if this is in the wrong section please remove it / move it and apologies

Regiments / Veteran Looking For Regiment

« on: February 17, 2015, 12:30:10 am »

Firstly I am not sure if this is the place to post this, if not then apologies.

A bit about me:

I have played NW since it's release (on and off) and have close on 3000 hours game play collectively. I am looking for a decent Cavalry Company either playing as Hussars or Heavy cav (prefer Curiassers) though I may consider dragoons. I have alot of experience as an enlisted rank, NCO rank and have lead / been an officer in a few different regiments + lead two of my own cavalry companies. That being said I am not looking to jump into a position of ''power'' but find an active ( 3 or more events a week) regiment that offers good progression.  Overall I would say that my Melee Skills are well above average and my Cav skills above average though I may be a little rusty on both currently.

There is the off chance I may consider being in line but I really want to be back in the saddle.

Message me on steam if you have an offer, in most cases I will likely invite a regiment before commiting to it.

P.S: I am a strong believer in real life comes first, so if your the type of regiment that is going to yell at someone for missing one training then please don't contact me.

Thanks for your consideration.

General Discussion / Word of Caution about a certain Individual.

« on: February 16, 2015, 08:46:58 pm »

Please read First: If you do not wish to read this thread (it's very long and detailed) then please don't and move on. Do not make comments about how long or 'sad' you think it is or that you don't care, it's just a waste of everyones time.

Many of you probably don't remember me, and those who do probably not so fondly. But basically I have played NW since it's release, seen the rise and fall of many regiments, been accused of doing it myself in the past, but one thing I have always believed in is discipline, respect and friendliness in a community.

Currently I am a (asked to censor) Regiment and have been for over 6 months now. The regiment it'self largely I have no issue with, despite what people think I believe (the leader) to be a decent leader and reasonable person. The Regiment itself, though a little large for my liking is pretty good in terms of activity and skill too.

Anyway too the point.

First of all I know I will get hate, but this topic is not meant as a flame war but a word of caution, you can choose to believe it or not I really don't care.

The person in question currently in question is Major Alexis (Formerly known as Duke, Or Lennox). Basically I am posting here to voice my concern over this member having been in many regiments with him in the past.

The first time I met him was in the 65th. I used to be the Captain of the Cavalry and he was my second in command. During this time he was always lazy, obstructive and overall not a pleasant member to be around and always seemed to have a problem being told what to do. During the months to come I would find out that [65th] Duke had been spreading malicious rumors to the leader along with another Cpl that I had been doing awful things with the Cav Company (C company) and being very abusive of my powers which contributed to my removal, later on he took over the detachment which he frequently rubbed in my face until it collapsed some weeks later.

Since that period of time we have had our off and on periods in terms of personal friendship, but his destructive attitude towards regiments and other people has always been a concern. One great example is that I joined the old 7th Hussars along with him, I myself wanting to do very well there as I had great respect for them. After one training where he was removed for doing poorly (temp banned) he decided to use his server adminship on the teamspeak to destroy it and set the security level to a point where no one could join, this also lead to my removal due to recruiting him to the regiment.

Similar things happened when we formed a regiment with McPalfer. While I have no love at all for the man I believe again that the regiments down fall was Duke using his position to manipulate people and then moving to take over a regiment as he has done so many times in the past. This ended up very badly and again lead to another regiment breaking down.

After that we (Me, him and a few others) roamed around. Some Members (if you wish to contact them) Were: Aki (Lebelge), Spruce Moose, Borfy, Zombie Jr, Zer0grav1ty, Craven, Simon and a few others whom I can't remember. Another regiment that sticks out in my mind was the 90th. We formed (briefly) a detachment called the 90th_Skye which was the Rifle company, again this was under the leadership of myself but it changed to a Rifle company after duke convinced the members to do so. Due to inter company problems (again caused by the accussed) we were told to leave the 90th.

Eventually it got to the point where I no longer wanted to lead him. I still, for some reason now unbeknown to me , liked him as a person but I just didn't want the stress of trying to manage such a destructive and rank obsessed person, no receive his COUNTLESS messages about how (whatever regiment we were in) leaders were terrible and how bad the regiment was. In the end he ended up being the first in command and I just an NCO in any regiment we joined.

Many failed regiments later created by Duke, I decided that NW was no longer for me as association with him had not only destroyed my name but sucked out any fun. Upon returning recently I had found out that he was in (censored) regiment and had reached the position of Major. I thought about sharing my concerns with the leader but thought it neither my place to do so, only being an enlisted and I didn't want the drama it caused anymore due to personal issues of my own.

Even in this current regiment he constantly slandered the leader to me on steam, telling me of how hes never around, how poor is leadership is in every line battle, how he could do a better job and each time me responding telling him that I did not care.

*** Currently *** : I opened up a community in DayZ Standalone called Legion Gaming. In which, due to being goaded into doing so by his carefully placed words, gave him Server Admin on teamspeak 3, Website Permissions and an officer rank. During his time as Officer in my community he was only disruptive, on one occassion lying about killing a clan mate, which is a very serious rule breach then laughing like a child after I found out (hours later) it was a lie..

Two days ago, due to accident I found out that the server permissions had been tampered with on teamspeak (I had removed him from admin a few days ago due to trolling / promoting people specifically while I was away), and that his Lieutenant group some how had full unbannable server ownership permissions. Upon Confronting him he first lied to me until I looked through the logs, he then greeted the discovery with more laughter too which I banned him for 12 hours and removed his officer status too which he flamed me with a wall of text.

The next day I agreed to let him back as a Soldier with no power or voice on decisions. Later that day we open a brand new mumble server, everyone is pleased by this saying that it was a great idea and they loved it more than the old TS3. He then (an ex officer bare in mind) decides to come into teamspeak under the name 'GAAAAAAAAAAY' and starts flaming with soundboards, I later find it's him again through his own admission on steam.

After removing him from the community he then accused me of being a 'donation leeching c**t' who only likes people who give him money, as well as insulting me on a few very personal subjects, which I paid no heed.

This is all of the conversation steam has saved:

Never tell your password to anyone.
<LG> Valkyrie: I've turned into a donation leeching cunt?
[59th] Alexis: Ye
<LG> Valkyrie: Look at the 'regiment' your in. I have had exactly 130 pounds in donations over 1 month and a half, 30 pound on the site, collectively 25 pound on ts. 40 pound in a seperate account towards running an in game server when we need one
<LG> Valkyrie: 95 pounds into the clan
<LG> Valkyrie: 35 pounds I took for myself, after spending day after day after day of working hard to make sure things are run effeciently
<LG> Valkyrie: So take your bullshit accusations somewhere else Kid. You think I was joking when I said if I removed you then I would feel anything for it because I wouldn't. You like everyone else I speak too here are an internet person. As long as they are decent, respectful, nice guys then I like them. But if they prove to be immature self absorbed children like you then they get removed.
<LG> Valkyrie: I feel like saying some really nasty stuff at the moment but honestly it isn't worth the guilt I might feel later, as I said the offer still stands about if you want to play with me personally then I will be around
[59th] Alexis: Oh no i'm valkyire i ban my friends from my own clan for having thier name as gaaaaay
<LG> Valkyrie: It's your choice, don't take it personally, I would have done the same too any member who has done what you have recently
[59th] Alexis: i cba to argue with you as your clan is pretty shitty anyway and all you use it for is to steal donations, so i'm going to go do somthing else
<LG> Valkyrie: I'm Duke, I'm a friend who insults people over very sensitive subject and thinks its a joke, a person who has had so many people block him on steam because they 'bully him'. A person whos so far up his own ass he can't see whats wrong with himself and blames everything on other people when your the only one who fucks your life up. Go back to the 59th, do whatever you want there, you are not the sort of person I want in community. A person whom I can't trust on the slightest things and always have concerns about what you might do in the future due to the clans you've destroyed in the past
[59th] Alexis: that sad thing is that your wrote all that
<LG> Valkyrie: You can Believe what you want, if my clan was really 'shit' you wouldn't even be typing.
[59th] Alexis: i know it is shit thats why i'm going to stop
<LG> Valkyrie: Because I like to explain myself, but your right, it's sad, because you aren't worth the effort it took. Anyway as I said earlier the offer is always there to play with me personally. Maybe you decide to block me. In that case it was fun playing with you when you were a decent person, but ill likely forget you in a few days
<LG> Valkyrie: Im going to go play with people who deserve my company now, cya around
[59th] Alexis is now Online.
[59th] Alexis: xD
[59th] Alexis: <LG> Valkyrie: Im going to go play with people who deserve my company now that i leach money from, cya around
[59th] Alexis:
[59th] Alexis: Wait i know the reason you kicked me now!!!
[59th] Alexis: I didn't donate!!!
[59th] Alexis: Shit!!!
<LG> Valkyrie: [59th] Alexis: I'm going to go back to the 59th. Where the only people reside who haven't blocked me because I am such a stuck up little asshole. [Censor]. When I come home I sit at my computer in my [Censor], lie about every little thing and exaggerate everything in my life to fill in the insecurities about the fact actually it's not worth that much. Then to add to that, I get angry, defensive and insulting when a person who's stuck by me for years against the advice of so many people kicks me out of a clan for abusing his adminship, lying about killing clan mates and everything else, then calls him a 'donation leaching cunt'.
[59th] Alexis: Hahahahahahahaha
[59th] Alexis: XD
[59th] Alexis: OMG
[59th] Alexis: REALLY XD
[59th] Alexis: HAHAHA
<LG> Valkyrie: You can believe that if you want, you have two choices now. Either A) you stop spamming me in caps lock like a 10 year old child and we can play later in the future, or B) you block me and I forget you exist
<LG> Valkyrie: your choice, but for tonight im blocking you
<LG> Valkyrie: Im not having a decent day partially ruined by someone like you


Well thats about all I have to say. I personally wont be responding (hopefully) anymore towards this topic. Please bare in mind I have known this person close on three years, but now after recent misteps from him (after I thought he had changed his ways) causing my Community and myself harm, I have decided that the community of NW should be warned about this persons activities in the past.

Take what you want from this, he for me is no longer a concern, all I ask is keep an eye on him if he joins your regiment though likely now he will change his name.
