Not a fancy thread I'm afraid but should tell you everything you need to know:
The 24th AZWR Regiment (UK/EU based) is now opening our Saturday 8pm (UK time event) for other regiments to come join. This is almost always a VS bots event. Our regiment is small but we are just going to get some events going with other regiments invited while our own group lasts, especially since there are no other open EU events for this modEvent structureWe start a map with 150 bots on the Zulu team (if there are too many to begin with the games lags out) and each win adds +100 bots, until 350 bots max. After the 3rd-5th round we start a new map and repeat with the bots at 150 again. IF gameplay was noticibly too easy for the brits at the 350 bots round(s), the map is changed deliberately to one that increases difficulty. We may also invite a regiment to play on the Zulu faction (non sharpshooter) and give the brits a sapper later on to change things up a bit.

Troop specific Rules:Spoiler
Line+Lights (Incl. Sailor+Naval captain)- No spacing in formations (except regiments that practise 1/2 pace standards)
- Fire on charge is allowed. Other shooting should always be done with your line where possible, whether as a static line, a line retreating or grouped inside a building. If you are clearly able to be with your/a line but are shooting from a distance away it's considered rambo
- Can only crouch for double ranks or behind cover
Rifles (Max 1 regiment/detatchment)- Can have up to 5 men spacing
- Fire on charge is allowed. Other shooting should always be done with your line where possible, whether as a static line, a line retreating or grouped inside a building. If you are clearly able to be with your/a line but are shooting from a distance away it's considered rambo
- Not allowed to use bayonets (balancing purpose like in NW and old AZW 0.4)
- Max 1 Sgt troop
Cavalry (Max 1 regiment/detatchment or 2 if 1 is always dismounted)- May be asked to dismount immediately on maps that are heavily defensive based or if they are the last ones alive
- Cannot fire while mounted
- When dismounted have to follow rifles/skirms rules (including no bayonets when dismounted)
- Can't use Winchester rifles
Artillery (Max 1 regiment/detatchment with 8 players max)- Max 2 cannons (Only one cannon can be replaced for a rocket launcher)
- Max 4 artillery guards
The troop rules are subject to change
Groups may change troops between rounds at their own will if there are spare slots in that troop. New troop rule would apply
We ask that you bring a minimum of 5 people and
leaders/representatives do not need to join our TS. Our server is currently 60 slots - we wouldn't accept more than 60 as the number of bots needed is far too laggy. Finally, if your group complies with the rules we should invite you to come to our event again
