6th Texas Artillery Regiment "The Irish Pounders"
History & Information
The 6th Texas Artillery was a regiment who fought in some of the most notable and prestigious civil war battles, sadly toward the end of the war the regiment was defeated at The Bull Run in Virginia. The Regiment was mostly comprised of Irish immigrants, most of whom had very little if any training, the significant amount of Irish members led to the Regiment gaining the nickname "The Irish Pounders".

The North and South regiment is apart of the Texas Brigade and is led by Captain Von Sarge, there is not much expected of any members but there are still basic rules like: No racism, no bullying, no sexism and no xenophobia. There are 3 entry requirements too: You must be able to attend most of the events, you must be able to speak fluent English, you must have teamspeak working on your PC.

The Regiment is currently new so there is a lot of opportunity for advancement however that also means there is more expected for attendance of events but the leaders are still very reasonable and we understand if you are unable to attend for good reasoning.

There are currently 2 batterys set up in the regiment, one is an EU based battery, the other is NA based. You can join either but you must be able to attend their events.

Contact Information
To join or to get into contact for whatever reasons you have just add Cpt. Von Sarge [EU] or Cpt. Hawkins [NA] on steam, he will provide you with any necersary details like the teamspeak IP.

History
In 1627, Richelieu founded the Régiment de la Marine. It was to provide on-board troops capable of fighting on land or on sea, and commanded by the officers of the ship. These troops were part of the crew, and helped with navigation.
The base unit was the 70-man company, compagnie détachée de la Marine. It was commanded by a lieutenant des vaisseaux du Roi ("Lieutenant of the Ships of the King") and two ensigns. These companies fought in all French colonies, particularly in Nouvelle France. An anonymous Fusilier de Marine is credited for Nelson's death during the Battle of Trafalgar.
In 1825, a royal decree abolished the Régiments de la Marine and imposed that landing parties (compagnies de débarquement) should be composed of sailors. The tradition of the Régiments de la Marine later gave birth to the troupes de marine and troupes coloniales of the French Army.
As the crews of the ships lacked personnel trained for fighting on land, the imperial decree of 5 June 1856 created the specialization of marin fusilier. The Fusiliers-Marins was initially composed of sailors and naval officers who were sent for special infantry training in Lorient in order to form the marine detachments aboard ships and conduct small scale landings. This was not the first time that the French had tried this approach. Before the First Republic, the Corps royal de l'infanterie de la marine had been superseded by the Corps royal de canonniers-matelots on 1 January 1786.
These troops were notably engaged during the war of 1870 and the defence of Paris. Two battalions of Fusiliers-Marins, under the respective commands of capitaines de frégate Laguerre and de Beaumont, took part in the Tonkin campaign as part of the Tonkin Expeditionary Corps, distinguishing themselves at Son Tay and Bac Ninh. In 1900 they participated in the fighting during the Boxer Rebellion and it was on the same year that the fusiliers were finally confirmed as part of the naval service as their counterparts in the troupes de marine (troupes coloniales) moved on to the Army via the War Ministry.
In World War I, their famous defense in 1914 of Diksmude in the Battle of the Yser stands out. They also served at the Dardanelles and in Macedonia.
The fusiliers-marins were busy studying amphibious warfare, testing experimental landing craft and taking part in exercices combinés from the late 1920s until the mid-1930s.
In World War II, their most famous battles were Bir Hakeim and Normandy. World War II Fusiliers-Marins units included the 1er Regiment de Fusiliers-Marins de Reconnaissance which served in the 1st Free French Division (1er DFL), the Régiment Blindé de Fusiliers Marins (RBFM) of the 2nd Armoured Division and the 1er Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos (1er BFMC) who served in 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando.
In Indochina after World War II, the French Navy and Fusiliers-Marins created the famous riverine warfare units called divisions navales d'assaut (naval assault divisions), commonly referred to as dinassauts. The Demi-Brigade de Fusiliers-Marins (DBFM) which included the Bataillon d'Intervention de Fusiliers-Marins (BIFM) served in Algeria.
The Naval Fusiliers wear a dark blue beret, pulled right with their distinctive badge worn over the left eye or temple. Along with the Naval Commandos, they are unique among French forces in wearing the beret this way.
